Marta Gomez Cantos De Agua Dulce: One-Step

Marta Gomez Cantos De Agua Dulce: One-Step on 180g LP from Chesky Records

A landmark 2004 album by Marta Gomez that established her as one of Latin America's most poetic voices. The recording unites Colombian folk traditions with Latin American rhythms, Spanish flamenco, and jazz harmony across eleven tracks-nine of them original-that travel from the valleys of Colombia to the coasts of Peru and beyond. Centered on voice and guitar, the arrangements feature subtle touches of bass, percussion, flute, and accordion, revealing Gomez's gift for lyrical storytelling and emotional clarity. Two decades later, Cantos De Agua Dulce remains a timeless expression of Gomez's vision; music that flows with grace, bridges cultures, and honors the poetry of everyday life.
