Martha Mavroidi Trio
The singer, lute player and songwriter Martha Mavroidi established herself as a first-class folk musician and singer of the younger generation already with her debut release, The Garden of Rila. Her extraordinary voice combines Greek and Middle-Eastern ornamentation and microtonal modulation with the resonance of Bulgarian singing. Her dazzling technique on the lafta and the saz is often compared to that of great masters of folk or jazz music. In 2012, she performed on Womex Club Globalkan and has since toured all over Europe with her trio. In March 2013, she made the cover of fRoots magazine as "Balkan music’s rising star". Martha Mavroidi is Artistic Director of Tinos World Music Festival.
