Escrito del presidente de "LES HARPES CAMAC"

The harp scene in Venezuela is vibrant with young, enthusiastic and passionate musicians. Since my very first visit to this country, I have been amazed by the enormous talent and dynamism of the new generation of harpists.
Eduardo Betancourt is undoubtedly a leader in his field, creating modern llanera music.
With his acoustic harp, he brings together traditional Venezuelan musical styles. With his electric harp, he expands the horizons of his instrument, carving out new identities for it in the twenty-first century. I am extremely optimistic about the new paths Venezuelan harp music is exploring.
I am very proud to have made a contribution by building the electric llanera.
Eduardo Betancourt is one of the iconic harpists of this new age for the llanera harp, and his new CD "AD LIBITUM" will doubtless be considered a milestone in Venezuelan music production.
