Originally from Bogota, Colombia, flutist Daniel Pardo performs and records in a striking range of styles and genres – Western classical, jazz, rock, and traditions from across the globe.

“Throughout Ese Momento, his flute sings with a voice that seems almost human in its expressiveness. Whether he’s navigating the gentle sway of a ballad or soaring through more vibrant passages, Pardo’s technical mastery and heartfelt phrasing make every track on this album a highlight. ”

Sabor a Mi by Alvaro Carrillo (From Ese Momento)

Daniel Pardo, flute; Sergio Pamies, piano; Young Heo, bass; Lupe Barrera, drums; Luis Avila, percussion; The Czech National Symphony Orchestra, Vladimir Martinka, conductor.

“Here is a lovely, relaxing, emotional projection of boleros and the culture that infuses them. I love each tune that unfolds, but I’m particularly taken by “Sabor A Mi” with the sweeping strings of the Czech National Symphony Orchestra and the percussion sounding like horse hooves against cobblestone. Pardo’s flute dances above the beautiful arrangement like a wild bird. ”

Chambacú Thoughts

This improvisational tune is based on Totó La Momposina’s Chambacu, a tune inspired in a small town in North Colombia with a rich African heritage. This song features the classical alto and concert flutes, as well as gaits de Jan Jacinto, cambia drums, and a rhythm section. The imagery is an invitation to visit and explore the beauty of Colombia!
