Marta Gómez

Marta Gómez graduated magna cum laude from the Berklee College of Music after receiving the Best Achievement Scholarship. Marta and her group perform a repertoire of original compositions based on a vast amount of rhythms from Latin America. She 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. With more than 70 composed songs, she not only traverses a whole range of Colombian cumbias and bambucos, Argentine zambas, Cuban sones, and Peruvian landos, but also writes the kind of melodies and refrains that translate across whatever language she is singing in. That may be the reason that lead Marta to share the stage with musicians of different genres such as Bonnie Raitt , John Mayer, Totó la Momposina, and Mercedes Sosa.
