MARTA TOPFEROVA TRIO

When you listen to her with your eyes closed you imagine to be hearing a dyed-in-the-wool Latin American vocalist but she is only 29 years old and comes from the Czech Republic. She draws from various sources when it comes to folk music in the Spanish language like merengue, son and flamenco. ‘Don’t let the name fool you, the husky-voiced Topferova is a top-flight singer who offers a mellow and sensual take on the South American folk music tradition.’ (Village Voice).
