A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
ABOUT
Latin-American grooves, spiced up with punchy drums, crunchy but not too heavy guitars, complex but not too jazzy harmonies, all topped by a powerful and energetic voice. This is Maraquita, a Hungarian music project founded by singer/vocal coach Maria Szilágyi and pianist/songwriter/producer Adrian Fülöp. They currently have nine released songs, with several of them reaching #1 in the Latin-American Top 40 of the world music platform EthnoCloud. The music video for their song "Me haces llorar," a duet with Dominican singer Ruben La Voz, is due to be released in the next few months. All songs feature Spanish lyrics and are written and produced by Transylvanian-born Adrian, a polyglot fluent in Hungarian, Romanian, English, German, Spanish, and Italian. Maria, who learned from award-winning singers like Eszter Horváth (opera) and Attila Garay (jazz), and who has developed a unique vocal coaching methodology, is the voice and muse of the project. The couple has been living and making music together for almost two decades and is ready to bring the Hungarian Latin Experience to a wide audience.
