Mara Aranda has toured the stages of more than half the world for 25 years. To celebrate her career, music and the success that has accompanied her, she releases MARE VOSTRUM, an album that combines inspiration, influences and emotions shared in this sea, the Mediterranean.
The album has escaped the easy resource to take songs included in other recordings and make a compilation or live in the same conditions. Mara Aranda again introduce us to a tapestry of a musical geography possessed by the best knowledge from generation to generation through songs in his voice that regain the breath never extinguished of the tradition. Its a sample of a convincing career where quality has been up line with media who do not hesitate to compare Mara Aranda with Cheikha Rimitti , Om Khalsoum or Eleftheria Arvanitaki . Beyond this Mara Aranda is already a reference icon and has a place in history alongside the greatest women of Mare Nostrum (Mediterranean Sea).
In addition to the usual formation that accompanies Mara Aranda: Jota Martínez (citole, hurdy gurdy and bouzuki), Abel García (Lute, Baglama and hurdy gurdy) and Sacha Gotowtschikow (traditional and oriental percussions) have collaborated on Mare Vostrum musicians that unite common memories, stories and shared emotions that are reflected in this album now. Not a product which that chases a maximum performance but the most vital project which continues to grow over the years and where Mara Aranda deeply reflects the tradition that can be benign and restorative as a sea crossing.
