Marta Elena
Music 

Marta Elena, Juno winner and Excellence Award winner (Celebration of Latin Culture and Community,) was born into a musical family in Havana, Cuba.
She belongs to a younger generation of Cuban musicians who are happy to honor the island nation's Afro-Latin musical roots while looking for new ways to express the music that courses
through the country's veins.
She started to sing at 10, performing in all school events and amateur presentations. At 18, her professional performance was singing as part of the chorus of the Company of Zarzuelas and
Operettas of the Teatro Lirico Nacional, one of the most famous theaters in Havana. After many years of performing with different bands in Cuba and worldwide, Marta Elena immigrated to
Canada to pursue her musical career.
Moving to Toronto in 2011 puts her in demand, performing with the who-is-who in the Canadian scene at various local venues and festivals.
She is a Cuban singer, composer and bandleader representing the Cuban beauty "mulata," performing music influenced by musical genres such as Danzon, Rumba, ChaChaCha, Cuban Salsa, Danzonete and more.
Marta Elena has been performing as special guest of artists such as the Ontario Pops Orchestra, and Hilario Duran Big Band at the Koerner Hall.
Marta Elena is also a former member of the famous Jane Bunnet's female band
Maqueque, with notable performances in Canada, Europe, and the USA.
Marta Elena's personality, powerful voice, and stage presence make her a total entertainer,composer, and gifted artist.
