Anamaría Oramas, a musician breaking new ground in Colombian jazz, will bring her unique blend of traditional and contemporary sounds to Korea. She will perform at the Jarasum Jazz Festival in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province, from October 9-11. This 23rd edition of the festival is one of the premier jazz events in the country, attracting artists from around the globe since its inception in 2004.
Oramas is not just a part of the festival lineup but also appears at several live venues in Seoul. She will perform at Jazz Club Janus, Subriot, and Morene Sukha as part of her 10th anniversary world tour. Her journey into music began in her parents' home, where they encouraged her to pursue a career in music. She trained as a classical musician in her youth, but her path took a different turn when she audited for the violin and instead fell in love with the flute.
From that moment, Oramas has remained inseparable from the wind instrument, forming a special bond with it since childhood.
