MarZ
Somewhere between folk, pop and jazz is a place called MarZ - the musical universe of a Prague-based singer, guitarist and songwriter Markéta Zdeňková. Her songs orbit themes ranging from confessional to lighthearted, cerebral to shamanic. She writes mostly in Czech and has a real talent for beautiful melodies that remain true to the cadence of her native language. This has enabled her to find a growing audience that crosses styles and generations.
Marta Topferova is one of the most unique singers and songwriters of her generation. She has been heavily influenced by Czech and Slavic musical traditions, as well as Latin American folk music. Her deep voice, lyrical songs and unique accompaniment on the four-string cuatro have enchanted listeners all over the world since she established herself on the New York City music scene in 1996. Marta has released nine albums of primarily original songs and toured the U.S., Europe, Argentina and Thailand and lives in Berlin since 2020.
