The Caribbean.
Music from the Caribbean never ceases to appeal because it’s so easy to dance to. Marta Gómez knows that more than anybody else by grabbing the South American rhythms at the core: only the most important elements remain in the rhythm in each of her 70 composed cumbias, zambas, rancheras or candomblés. Marta Gómez, a singer from Colombia, currently lives in New York and will be in the Netherlands for a concert on 24 January in the Tropentheater. The Muse takes a closer look at her and a few related artists.
