She belongs to the younger generation of Cuban musicians who honor their country’s Afro-Latin musical roots while seeking new expressions of the musical traditions that course through the veins of the island nation. Having toured internationally with the legendary Cuban group Anacaona and now based in Toronto, Canada, Marta has been invited to perform with Yani Borrell, Conjunto Lacalu and the Juno-winning Cuban jazz pianist Hilario Duran. She and her 11-piece band have been featured at the Lulaworld, Salsa on St. Clair and Latin Sparks festivals. Why Lula is unique: The only venue of its kind in North America, Lula Lounge features a rotating roster of more than a dozen full salsa orchestras every Friday and Saturday—year-round. Our stage welcomes the best local talent alongside special guests from across Canada and the Americas, offering a one-of-a-kind salsa experience in a warm, colourful, and inclusive space.
