Félix Pérez Cardozo

About this composer

“Félix Pérez Cardozo (20 November 1908 – 9 June 1952) was a Paraguayan harpist and composer. After growing up and learning to play the harp in the Paraguayan countryside, he played in bands in Asunción and Buenos Aires, Argentina before forming his own group. He introduced Paraguayan music to a wider audience and gained public recognition and fame, particularly in Buenos Aires and the Río de la Plata area. He designed a thirty-six string harp for his song "Pájaro campana" (The Bell Bird), which would go onto become the most popular harp configuration.”
