Album Notes

¡Un, dos, tres…y con entusiasmo! A native of Oregon, Sarah Vanegas has also been immersed in Latin American cultures long enough to feel at home in South America. In a culture where music dominates existence, rhythm drives the feet and possesses the hips; it was only natural for Vanegas to move the fiesta onto the piano.

Syncopated ragtime first caught her attention at an early age and led her to mentors Frank French and Scott Kirby who introduced her to the music of Brazil, Cuba and Terra Verde. That match awakened a passionate connection with the world of Latin American piano—one that Sarah delights in sharing with audiences. Her interpretation has been described as, “grace and beauty, exhilarating, authentic and moving.”

Most recently, Sarah has embarked on a Colombian piano project giving life to scores she recovered from the National Library in Bogotá, Colombia. Many of these musical gems have lain silent and nearly forgotten for decades. Sarah has made it a mission to take this music out of the archives and into the hearts of listeners both near and far.

Mrs. Vanegas graduated from Oregon State University and is a public health nutritionist and piano teacher in Davis, California where she resides with her husband.

I attended a performance by Sarah Vanegas in 2006, which I enjoyed thoroughly. At the time, I was surprised that Sarah had not yet recorded her talent in a way that could be shared with a larger audience. Hence, I am pleased to discover that she has created Rumichaca, a wonderful collection that can be found no where else. My congratulations to Sarah and a piece of advice: it's time to create another!

This CD has some beautiful pieces of music, beautifully played.  I saw Sarah play with Frank French at the West Coast Ragfest a few years ago, and with this CD I enjoyed hearing how much she has matured.  Her interpretation of Danza is expressive, finely detailed, and quite captivating.

I love the syncopated lyrical Latin beat! In her piano music, Sarah Vanegas sensitively captures the spirit and colorful vibrancy of Colombian music.  The intricate music of the Colombian masters comes alive when performed by this young pianist! Magnifico!
