Marta Elena - one of the most dynamic performers in Toronto.

I love Marta Elena. I am probably not alone, as she wins many hearts wherever she performs. Born in Havana in a musical family, where she started performig at young age, later with 'Anacaona' and 'Caribbe' bands. She immigrated to Canada in 2011. I seen her first probably around 2015, and was quite impressed. She is now one of the top Latin singers in the city and she makes a wild dance party, anywhere she performs. This year I've seen her not only at Kensington Jazz, but also at Toronto Jazz, Dundas West Festival and on here 'home' turf at Lula Lounge club. At Kensington outdoor stage she was with Danae Olano- keyboard, Jonathan Amador bass, unknown to me trombone player and a drummer. There are few who have stage presence anywhere close to Marta Elena. Probably her 9(?) year old daughter comes closest, but she is not performing yet.
