How does a Dutch trumpet player become famous in Colombia? | Maite Hontelé | TEDxAmsterdam
Показать описание
Grammy award nominated Maite Hontelé tells us how she became interested in salsa and ended up in Columbia. In Columbia she found a culture that she resonated with and that resonated with her. Performing the music she loved for audiences that knew it and loved it and falling in love led her to make a new home for herself away from the Netherlands, in Colombia.
Maite Hontelé was born in Haaften, the Netherlands where she held a trumpet for the first time as a nine year old girl. Since studying the instrument she traveled the world with her music and felt most at home in Medellín, Colombia. Performing with Latin stars like Rubén Blades from Panama, Oscar d’León from Venezuela and Pio Leyva – one of the members of the Buena Vista Social Club – and a Latin Grammy Award nomination for best salsa album she is no less than a world star. But maybe the best compliment: she is told to be Dutch by birth, but Colombian by heart.
