Notes / Reviews
Known as one of the premier interpreters of Hungarian folk music, Marta has sung with Muzsikas and Deep Forest, and has been compared to Sandy Denny, Jane Siberry, The McGarrigle Sisters and the Goddess Persephone! This 1996 album is her first of non-Hungarian songs: a rich, contemporary fusion of folk and modern instruments, it honors the rhythmic soul of Russia, Irish, Greek, Indian, and Bulgarian music while taking a fresh approach to a diverse collection of songs from around the world. She blends melodies and verses from different songs from different cultures, and fuses them into amazing, haunting and original arrangements. Notable are the Bosnian song Gold, Silver or Love, and Leaving Derry Quai/Eleni, which combines an Irish emigration song learned from Dolores Keane with a Greek song from Epirius!
