The Marta Gómez Group

with Emilio Teubal, Fernando Huergo, Franco Pinna and Yulia Musayelyan

Colombian singer/songwriter Gómez’s Chesky CD, Cantos de Agua Dulce, released in late 2004, was nominated as Best Latin Album (in the company of Paco de Lucia, Nestor Torres, Charlie Haden and Gonzalo Rubalcaba) in Billboard’s Latin Music Awards in 2005, and her previous CD, Solo es Vivir on Big Sur, was chosen by The Boston Globe as one of the ten Best CDs of 2003.

Her music traverses a whole range of rhythms from Latin America, mixed with jazz and pop. She also writes the kind of melodies that translate across whatever language she sings in, and she renders them in a unique and translucent style that mesmerizes listeners. Last spring she released her second Chesky CD, Entre Cata Palabra and was named Best National World Music Artist of 2006 by The Boston Phoenix.

She returns to the Real, where the crystal clear acoustics provide an ideal showcase for her performance, with pianist Teubal, bassist Huergo, percussionist Pinna and flutist/vocalist Musayelyan. Patrons can expect to hear previews of a new CD, which should be out later this year.
