Marta Duarte d'Almeida's first solo show takes the audience into unexpected waters. As a woman in a patriarcal world, and as the first female Jazz guitarist in Portugal, Marta and The Boat frees herself from all limitations caused by genre, instrument and conventions. Her astonishing instrumentalism, charismatic voice and powerful energy take her audiences into a magical world of jazzy swing, Portuguese folk, and storytelling filled with energy and emotions.
"A very special one-woman tornado of musical and creative energy and musicality, yes really! Marta is really quite remarkable." - Ian Smith, Frusion UK, 2022 "Durch ihren Abschluss in Jazz und Modern Music mit Spezialisierung auf Gitarre wurde sie die erste Jazz-Gitarristin Portugals – und starkes Vorbild vieler Frauen in dieser Szene. Klar ist: Musik ist aus dem Leben der Portugiesin, die mit richtigem Namen Marta Duarte d’Almeida heißt, nicht wegzudenken: „Music is much bigger than us!“" - FAQ Bregenzerwald, 2022 "Marta's latest show creates a sparkling bridge between the known and the new. The curiosity of the ancient Portuguese explorer meets the spirit of the 21st century woman - and what a spirit it is! In her multi-instrumentalist stage boat, she embarks on a journey towards the musical horizons of Jazz, Blues, Folk - and all that lies beyond." - eventbrite.com, 2021
