Claudia García Soto joins the Rath Pack

Rath Trombones has welcomed Cuban trombonist Claudia García Soto to its growing roster of Artists.

A graduate of the Professional School of Arts in Matanzas, Cuba, Claudia has toured extensively with the likes of Orquesta Tango and Orquesta New York.

She has also worked as a trombonist on European tours with international artists including Jacob Forever, Chamaco Rivera, Javier Vázquez (Grupo Niche), Pupi Santiago, Tito Rojas and Luisito Carrión.

Reflecting on her new status as a Rath Artist, Claudia said: “Becoming a Rath Artist represents a very important step in my professional career. It is an enormous pleasure to be part of a brand that I have always admired for its quality, innovation and dedication to musicians.

“Having the opportunity to visit the factory, meet the team personally and discover all the work that goes into creating each instrument has made this experience even more special.

“I am incredibly excited to begin this new chapter and continue growing musically alongside Rath.”

Among Claudia’s other professional commitments are collaborations with various jazz and Cuban music bands in the Canary Islands, mainland Spain and across Europe.

Discussing her new Rath Custom trombone, Claudia continued: “What impresses me most is the attention to detail and the exceptional craftsmanship.

“From the very first moment, I was drawn to its beautiful appearance, but what truly makes an instrument special is how it responds when playing.

“For me, it is essential to feel comfortable, have the freedom to express myself musically and find a sound that reflects my personality as a musician.”
