Marta Gómez

For those of us who like to expand our horizon in music, check out Marta Gómez.


Just like many music fans, I discovered her by listening to her interview with Steve Inskeep on NPR. But many music fans in NY or Boston areas may have already heard of her since she went to Berklee and has played as the opening acts for Bonnie Raitt and John Mayer. She reminds me a little bit of Norah Jones and her “Come Away With Me” album (in a Latin kind of way). Her music is mainly folk with the right amount of Latin jazz and flamenco in the mix.

If you'd like to sample the songs, I'd recommend the first three songs La Finca, Eso Pido Yo, and Seis, then skip to Canta (No. 7), El Pueblo (9), and the last 4 songs of the album.
