THURSDAY LIVE SESSIONS - MARTA REN & THE GROOVELVETS

Thurs. 15th December 2016

If there is a true Soul diva in Portugal, her name is Marta Ren.
 

Marta started very young, at the mid-nineties, lending her deep and powerful voice to cult portuguese ska / reggae inspired band, Sloppy Joe, before being part of the raw, break-beat laden outfit The Bombazines, recording two records and establishing her unique talent at clubs and festivals all around Portugal.

In the beginning of this century, Marta began expressing her passion for the deepest funk and soul of the sixties with a cover act named The Funkalicious, that was playing songs from the Godfather James Brown and his Divas – Marva, Vicki, Lyn and Martha – as well as other rare cuts from the 45 scene, on the best clubs of Porto, her hometown.

Now is the time to go on by herself.

Her first seven inch is a smasher - “Summer's gone” and  “2 kind of men” - are great original songs, that sound like old-school golden-age soul / funk  pearls, showcasing her great talent on the vocals along with a really tight band.
