Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
A sensitive singer of irreproachable taste, Marta Gomez uses her considerable songwriting skills to express her emotional connection to the earthy formats of South American folk — from the vals and festejo of Peru to the Argentine carnavalito and the bambuco of her native Colombia. At times, Gomez’s serene delivery and the delicate backing of acoustic guitars and soft percussion grooves are so precious that the album begins to exude a slight air of claustrophobia. Fortunately, she makes up for it with the evocative power of her childhood memories (“La Finca”) and passionate nostalgia for her homeland (“Confesion”).
