Las Américas musicians, Marcelo Rojas and Miguel Prado, play and talk about their music

Representing two very different harp styles, Marcelo Rojas of Paraguay and Miguel Prado of Mexico fuse their talents to perform this unique duet. This is the first time they've ever played together. They play two peices here, Son de la negra (Mexico) and El pajaro chogui (Paraguay).
Rojas and Prado are featured perfomers at the 2009 Smithsonian Folklife Festival, as part of the Las Américas program, on the National Mall in Washington DC.
