Metralleta 2007

A window into the life of one of the best harpist players alive.

Directed by Belén Orsini

Carlos Metralleta Orozco was born in Barquisimeto. He began playing the harp as a child, without formal instruction. He was baptized by the Colombian press with the nickname Metralleta due to the dexterity and speed with which he moves his fingers and shoots notes. Over time, this harp virtuoso, who was initially criticized by music academics, managed to develop a unique style, which today is admired and respected worldwide. At 39 years old, Carlos has participated in numerous musical events in England, Japan and the United States.
