Marta Elena’s started performing professionally at the age of 18, singing as part of the famous Cuban chorus Company of Zarzuelas and Operettas. In Canada, highlight performances include her Koerner Hall appearance as a Guest of Hilario Duran and his Latin Jazz Big Band with Horacio El Negro Hernandez.
