Javier Jara is a musician, singer-songwriter, arranger and activist originally from Ecuador. He specializes in Latin Folk/Roots, Caribbean and Nueva Trova musical traditions. Javier has been in Austin for over 15 years, composing, teaching, performing and producing. He just released an album called: "Our Rhythms, Our Voices". A project in which Javier collaborated with immigrants in the Austin community who Javier interviewed and documented their stories. Those first-hand conversations were then transformed into the beautiful and poignant songs that make up the album.
