More info: GUAFA TRIO is a very unique acoustic formation with a contemporary and own sound. They perform traditional Colombian music from classic composers as well as their own compositions. GUAFA TRIO is the first Colombian trio that put together contrabass, cuatro, and flute to perform pasillos, bambucos, joropos and other genres from the Colombian inland that traditionally are played by string trio’s. The project of GUAFA TRIO started life at the beginning of 1998 with Musica Llanera (traditional music from the Venezuelan and Colombian areas better known as Llanos Orientales) performing at 1st Festival of Llanera Music in Bogota where they showed their own musical and interpretative approach to the Llanera music. The audience expressed a big emotion and interest when listened to it, because it was presented under a complete different perspective.
Later on, GUAFA TRIO, enlarged their repertoire including compositions of Latin American and Colombian Andean Music. They always have given a big importance to perform with a high instrumental level as well as to improve their interpretation’s quality. In a short time, they have captured the Colombian audience’s interest. In 1999, GUAFA TRIO won the Colombian award Mono Núñez, which is the most prestigious Colombian prize of traditional music. In 2000, they took the first place in the competition for traditional music at the XIV Festival Hato Viejo-Cotrafa (Colombia). The Colombian Foundation BAT in 2005 honored its flute player, Ignacio Ramos, with the prize as best interpreter. The trio won the prize as third best original composition with the theme “entreverao”.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
