Gop Cast 044 - Marta Supernova by Gop Tun

Anyone can argue with a hefty degree of certainty that, if it weren’t for the richness of the sounds brought over by the diaspora, the musical landscape of our territory would’ve been very different, if not a lot less colourful. It feels almost undeserving that, along with a lot of suffering and death, so many people arrived here with the most bountiful gift humans created to themselves. A tradition that now amounts to centuries of cross pollination, permutations and transmutations that sprawls across many countries and forms the core of the vast terrain of possibilities that we call popular music. One that a valiant adventurer such as Marta Supernova knows to navigate very well in order to unearth its gems and concoct her jams so we can enjoy the power of their aural splendour. So is the contribution of this gifted explorer hailing from Rio, whose itineraries can take us anywhere the groove might point to.
