Marta Gomez - Cantos de Agua Dulce (Songs of the Sweet Water) [2004]

You are going to love this CD! There is so much passion in Marta's work that it truly gets passed on to you. I recommend also her previous work "Solo es Vivir". She is a very talented young woman and I am sure she will be very successful ...

The Group

Marta Gomez and her group perform a repertoire composed entirely by original songs based on a fascinating variety of rhythms from all over Latin America including Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Argentina mixed with jazz and pop elements. Originally from Colombia, the singer started to compose songs exploring her roots, but when she met the Argentinean musicians to form her group, they decided to share their musical backgrounds to create a distinctive blend of music that reflects the sound and culture of South America.
