MERENGUE ROJO (RED MERENGUE)

[Perumexican]

Was this filmed in California? Somewhere around Mission Viejo?

[AlfredoRolandoOrtiz]

@Perumexican Hello. No, this was filmed during a concert in northern california BUT I have performed often in Southern California in that area: San Juan Capistrano Library among other locations. March 1st I will perform a concert in San Clemente at 7 pm at Casa Romantica.

les recomiendo escuchar al arpa peruana como el clásico ruben cabello o al contemporáneo  socimo sacramento y su canción así eres tu son estilos mas evolucionados del cual pueden aprender mucho.

Oye Alfredo,

Finalmente pude verte tocando el arpa!

Hace tiempo que compre uno de tus cds. Es realmente hermoso ver un hermano tocando tan bellas composiciones latinoamericanas.

Querido hermano latino abrazos y te deseo mucho exito y gloria.

Por favor si tienes una direccion electronia me gustaria tenerla para seguir tus presentaciones.

Gracias, Pedro.

What a treat! I didn't know you are on YouTube. Rachel posted a link from her FB page here :D

Wonderful, I really love this piece. I also love your Habanera Gris and would be most obliged if you would post a video or you playing it.

I have bought your book with this piece in but I wonder it is a more simple version than the one you are playing here?? In the second phrase of the piece, the part after the main intriductory melody, are you using octaves?

[FlipHawkTv]

dear harp2Soul, I just replied to you but maybe the message did not reach you. , Thanks for your comments on Merengue Rojo. The unique techniques in my video (and CD) can be learned from my DVD #2 (see web site). The book has an easy and fun version and you can make your own arrangement, including those effects if you know how. Melodies in octaves are common to us but not so much in the lever and pedal harps and that's why I wrote the single note melody.

Thanks again! have FUN with your harp!

I stumbled upon you by accident. Now I will buy your CDs and enjoy your art. Again, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have a video?...

I love this piece! I just bought your Int. Rhythmic Collection Vol 1, but the version is simplified. Do you publish the version you are playing here in another of your books?

[forlisa911]

Saw you tonight at the South Coast Symphony concert in Orange County, CA.  Loved, loved, loved it!

[AlfredoRolandoOrtiz]

I met you tonight at Vickie's. I will play the harp in heaven some day for sure! In the mean time, where can I get an inexpensive one?

[jaxcloward]

I saw you tonight in Capistrano with the ladies from Village Grove where we all live and your concert was fantastic! The harp is my favorite instrument and you have a new fan!

[knowlivelove]

I saw you in KC a year or two back and you were amazing. This was my favorite song by you and it's great to hear it again! :)

I can play the easy version of this :)

[AlfredoRolandoOrtiz]

I'm glad you play my Merengue Rojo. You can always add little by little some glissandi like I do and make it even more fun. I hope you will try some other compositions of mine. Since you like this rythmic style you may want to try my composition "Conga viene, conga va" (From my International Rhythmic Collection Vol. 2 book). Thanks again for playing my music. Alfredo

[arpatlan]

Gracias por su música Alfredo, usted sabe que gracias a su música yo ahora soy un arpista y como siempre su fiel seguidor. Saludos.
