ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Based in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area, Cantaré's mission is to offer high-quality musical performances that also inform audiences about Latin American geography, history, and culture. Cantaré is lead by vocalist Cecilia Esquivel and guitarist Dani Cortaza, both from Argentina. Vocals are accompanied by several live string and percussion instruments from Latin America, plus bass percussion and keyboard backing tracks. Additional members of Cantaré come from a core group of accomplished Latin musicians residing in the Washington Area. Cantaré has released 4 recordings: three CDs for children – Baila para Gozar (2002) Al Agua Pato (2005) and Mucha Música (2014) and one CD for adult audiences – Evaluna by Cantaré and Friends (2005). In addition, in 2006 Cantaré recorded the companion CD for the award-winning book Arrorró mi Niño: Latino Lullabies and Gentle Games by renowned children's author and illustrator Lulu Delacre.
