ARGENTINIAN-BORN singer, composer and keyboard player Muriel Marco is set to dazzle audiences with a much-anticipated musical showcase on Saturday at The Theatre @ The Rockwell.
Known for her jazz playlist and alternative musical styles, Marco is finally ready to impress her Cape Town fans with her latest offering - Muriel Marco – No Direction (ND) Project.
Having performed as part of international world fusion group Tucan Tucan, as well as releasing her own work, the Muriel Marco – ND Project boasts a unique performance style, which sees the keyboardist composing and playing music with no boundaries regarding genre and instrumentation.
Marco, says she is excited to take to the stage to finally bring her vision for the this new and exciting musical showcase in Cape Town. “I’m thrilled to bring this dream to fruition because it is a musical project that I have envisioned for many years. A true reflection of my musical journey,” she admits.
The performance will showcase a number of music genres, such as tango, chararera, bolero and a Toba lullaby, accompanied by skilled musicians such as Ronan Skillen (tablas), Shaun Johannes (bass) and Justin Bellairs (saxophone).
Guest artist Keketso Bolofo will also join in on mbira and African percussion.
At 19 years of age, Marco embarked on a journey from Argentina to South Africa to study English, where she fell in love with Southern African music styles. It’s these genres, together with her love for jazz and world music that inspired her to develop the current project.
Marco, who describes this project as “an inwards discovery and a soul free discovery”, says fans can expect “a vibrant and original performance that will ensure a unique experience. Cape Town music lovers will be transported into my world in which creativity, unheard sounds and feelings collide.”
