Originally from Colombia, vocalist Marta Gomez first came to the US as a student at Berklee College of Music where she was the recipient of the Best Achievement Scholarship. She has developed an extensive music career in the US which has placed her as one of the most interesting singer songwriters on the world music scene today, appearing on stage with artists like Bonnie Raitt, John Mayer, and Mercedes Sosa. She and her ensemble perform a repertoire of original compositions based on a vast amount of rhythms from Latin America. On her songs, Marta mixes the joy of the Caribbean with the nostalgia of the Andes adding jazz and pop elements, taking the authenticity of South American indigenous folk music into a hip new realm.
