"Marta Gomez blends her velvety voice with original heartfelt lyrics, producing a peerless south American jazz sound" (The Boston Globe, 2003)

Marta Gomez formed her group in 1999 performing a fascinating variety of rhythms from all over Latin America including Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Argentina. Originally from Colombia, the singer started to compose songs exploring her roots, but when she met Argentinean guitarist and composer Julio Santillan and percussionist Franco Pinna; the three decided to share their musical backgrounds to create a distinctive blend of music that reflects the sound and culture of South America.
With songwriting being the focus, Marta expresses stories of love, political struggle and culture over an intense sound that emanates and brings forth a sense of deep emotion.
The group offers a smooth combination of Latin American folklore incorporating jazz elements, which produces a rich sound that makes it impossible to classify under a certain type of music. This unique style is deep, passionate, though provoking, rhythmic, intimate and incredibly influential in the evolving body of world beat and its deliverance to contemporary music culture.
Marta started her musical studies at the age of six and moved to Boston in 1999 to enter The Berklee College of Music where she received the "Best Achievement Scholarship" and the "Alex Ulanowsky" composition award before graduating magna cum laude under the Professional Music degree program.
