Marta Garrett

Marta Garrett presents indie-leaning singer-songwriter songs that blend Portuguese folk, modern rhythms and jazz-inflected and electronic sounds, born out of years of changing country and home.

The songs in this repertoire were written at distant times and in distant places, and they shape the expression of the emotions Garrett experienced as she changed country and home often, and as she grew distant from her family and friends. They are singer-songwriter pieces with an indie character, in which a haze of overlapping themes appears, with layers of voices that intertwine throughout each piece.

Musically, the proposal combines Portuguese folk with modern rhythms, and jazz-inflected sounds with others of a more electronic cut. Alongside passages of ethereal atmospheres appear others of a more groovy tone, all sustained by those vocal layers. The bill features Marta Garrett and Les cançons, and the concert takes place at Centre Cultural Albareda, a concert and performance venue in Barcelona.
