Ignacio "Indio" Figueredo, Marcelo Figueredo - Catire Prado

Review by Andreas Sehun Perwira

The album Catire Prado by Ignacio "Indio" Figueredo and Marcelo Figueredo is a beautiful tribute to the Paraguayan harpist and composer Felix Perez Cardozo, also known as Catire Prado. The Figueredo brothers, who are also accomplished harpists and composers themselves, have put together a collection of traditional Paraguayan music that showcases their virtuosity and passion for their craft.

The album features 12 tracks, each one a masterpiece in its own right. The opening track, "La Catedral de Asuncion," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its haunting melody and intricate harp playing. Other standout tracks include "Recuerdos de Ypacarai," "Pajaro Campana," and "Oracion del Remanso," all of which showcase the Figueredo brothers' ability to blend traditional Paraguayan music with contemporary influences.

Throughout the album, the Figueredo brothers pay tribute to Catire Prado by incorporating his compositions and arrangements into their own performances. This not only honors Prado's legacy but also highlights the Figueredo brothers' own talents as harpists and composers.
