Paraguayan Passion

About the Artist
It is not everyday that a recording artist and composer can grab you; with both how they play and how they touch your soul--and Paraguayan-born Marcos Vega, a virtuoso of the Paraguayan harp does just that. Having studied music at the Conservatory of Asuncion, Paraguay and the Conservatory of Cincinnati, Ohio, Vega's music has revolutionized the Paraguayan harp with stimulating, seductive and vibrantly rhythmic renditions of Grammy category show tunes as well as his own original compositions. Vega’s, 4-CD collection is cleverly orchestrated with a mix of nostalgia and musical excitement for a variety of listening audiences.

Born in Paraguay of Guarani, Italian and Spanish descent, Marcos Lombardo Vega has delighted listeners throughout the United States, South and Central America since the age of 10. After touring throughout the Americas, he settled in Florida, where he composes and records his exciting, sensual and relaxing music. He has played for dignitaries, presidents and heads of government and entertained world audiences for over 20 years with his original style and unique techniques. Recently he was welcomed into the Florida’s Artist Residency Directory by Katherine Harris, Secretary of State, The Florida Arts Council and the Department of State.

The music produced from the Paraguayan harp is no sedate mood music. The Paraguayan harp mesmerizes its audience with the echoing sounds of the mandolin, striking tonal range of the piano, as well as the melodic music one expects of the conventional harp. It has a more robust sound than the delicate trill associated with the western orchestral version of the instrument.

“An unexpected and intriguing musical experience awaits those who treat themselves to the sounds of the Paraguayan harp� says The Palm Beach Daily News. “… Marcos Vega just might be the finest harpist performing anywhere today�, said The Daily Palm Beacher. “…and is hailed by many as the foremost international harpist�.

For over 20 years, Vega has been performing as a soloist on the Paraguayan harp at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, the Ritz Carlton, Mar-a-Lago, and numerous other private affairs. Now he and his quintet are delighting audiences with his concert A Tour of World Music. Combining the Paraguayan harp, rhythm and base guitars, keyboard, drums and jazz trumpet, this international music thrills the audience with many of the most sensuous melodies, enchanting harmonies and exciting rhythms the world has to offer.

The Marcos Vega Quintet performs a cornucopia of musical delights with their Tour of World Music concert. Blood rushes, feet tap and hands clap as the audience responds to a choreography of the most popular tunes of the world. “This is the Riverdance of songsâ€"performed with a Latin flairâ€?, said Bill Bee of Big Brothers/Big Sisters following Senor Vega’s fifth benefit concert for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Martin County, Florida.
