Marta Pereira da Costa is the first female guitarist to play the Portuguese guitar professionally in Fado. While Portuguese guitar is very much associated with Fado, Marta braved new sounds to give her instrument a voice in the world of Jazz, and Portuguese music.
In the first half of 2023 Marta produced and recorded her second album, Canções sem Palavras. She decided to gather her two favorite instruments and invited pianistcomposer Alexandre Diniz. An intimate environment was created, stripped of everything, but bringing the essentials: intention, sensitivity and feeling in each note, chord or silence. The repertoire is varied and features well-known themes from major national and international references, compositions by Marta and Alexandre, and themes from a pianistic universe transported into the language of Portuguese guitar.
