Anamaría Oramas, a musician breaking away from traditional Latin American jazz styles, is set to showcase her Colombian jazz fusion in Korea. She will perform at the Jarasum Jazz Festival in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province, from October 9th to 11th. This 23rd edition of the festival is one of the premier jazz events in the country, attracting musicians from around the world since its inception in 2004.
Oramas will also be performing at various live venues in Seoul, including Jazz Club Janus, Subriot, and Morene Sukha, as part of her 10th anniversary world tour.
Oramas' journey in music started with a classical upbringing, but her passion for wind instruments was sparked by a chance encounter. She recalls being auditioned for a violin position, only to be given the opportunity to play the flute instead. This seemingly random event led to a lifelong bond with the flute, solidifying its importance in her musical career.
