Marta Topferova's new album illustrates why The London Times has called her "one of the most graceful interpreters of Latin American folk music". Her spirited original songs are rooted in rhythms such as the Cuban son and Puerto Rican bomba, yet this multilingual artist offers a fresh take on these traditions through her rich background and a diverse range of influences. Marta sings with an engaging, deep timbre, accompanies herself on Venezuelan cuatro and maracas, and her all-acoustic ensemble features New York’s finest musicians and improvisers on Cuban tres, violin, bass and percussion. She has toured extensively, appearing at the most prestigious venues in the world including The Blue Note, London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall and Jazz Festival Royale in Thailand. To date, Topferova has released five albums as a leader, collaborating with players such as violinist Jenny Scheinman, bassist Pedro Giraudo and harpist Edmar Castañeda. Join Marta as she celebrates her new album, "Trova" (The Troubadour Tradition), just released on the World Village/Harmonia Mundi label.
