Bio
MAJAGUA.. - Latin American Folklore -.. ...... It was born out of Matha's joy for playing guitar and singing the most loved songs from the Latin American Folklore. - Their beautifully harmonised vocal arrangements are unique here in London and their power and emotion are very special. The repertoire includes Cumbias, Bambucos and Joropos from Colombia and Venezuela; Corridos and Rancheras form Mexico and Valses, Carnavalitos, Huaynos y Zambas from Peru, Bolivia and Argentina and many more... ..WHAT THEY SAY... .."Dear Martha, The folk trio gig was wonderful - even the jazz aficionados who come regularly were amazed by how much they enjoyed it! We'll have to do another one soon."..Alessandra Satta - Front-of-House Music Manager - Royal National Theatre - ....
