Marta Topferova at Green Note
February 15th, 2010
Marta Topferova is one of my favorite artists. Every one of her albums (sadly bar the latest) are filled with incredible songs and listenable the whole way through (something I find rare!). She sings almost entirely in Spanish, in an earthy sensuous tone, and is accompanied by beautiful acoustic arrangements. Every time I put on one of her albums, I feel immediately transported and uplifted, somewhere in between melancholy and joy.
Have a listen to a live version of Semana Azul with just her and her cuatro (small Venezuelan guitar): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmEmgOGYtJM
Anyone of her albums is perfect for a dinner party. Its very surprising and unfortunate that she hasnt been discovered by a wider audience… but all the better for you to catch her now at Green Note! Which brings me to the point of my blurb – she will be playing in London soon!! And you can see her, but tickets are running out fast. http://www.greennote.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=877&Itemid=6
The best part is that she is playing in a tiny, cozy little venue (reminiscent of college town music venues), big enough to fit a dozen tables, and small enough to feel super up close, called Green Note, in Camden. Ive got my tickets, so maybe see you there!
