Marta Topferova is a Czech singer whose heart is in Latin American music. She dips into styles from across the Caribbean and South America, plays the cuatro and sings with an elegant longing in her voice.

"Marta Topferova is a Czech singer whose heart is in Latin American music. She dips into styles from across the Caribbean and South America - Cuban son, Venezuelan joropo, Puerto Rican bomba - plays the cuatro and sings with an elegant longing in her voice.''
- New York Times

Marta Topferova's new album illustrates why The London Times has called her "one of the most graceful interpreters of Latin American folk music". Recorded in Prague after a tour with her New York ensemble, "Trova" (The Troubadour Tradition), is a culmination of Marta's love of styles such as the Cuban son and Puerto Rican bomba. Comprised of eight original and three traditional pieces, and featuring a stunning array of Cuban tres, four-string cuatro, violin, bass, percussion and tight vocal harmonies, Trova is Marta's liveliest release to date.
