Conference "New Ruralism – Reviving the Countryside Organically"
Centro Cultural Raiano , Idanha-a-Nova, Portugal
"Singer and songwriter Mariana Root spreads magic through the medium of her powerful and unique voice as she travels all over the world.
She has shared her Portuguese roots in countries such as Norway, Germany and Austria, as well as South America, where she spent over two years exploring native tribes and their wisdom, specifically in Peru - the place where her first album “Solay” was recorded.
In her second album “Coração emRaiz” the sounds and melodies represent her expression of the Lusitanian traditions, and also her personal experience with the adufe players of Monsanto. She and other similar musicians give new life to the portuguese culture, with words of consciousness and new influences from the world.
Her voice is ancestral and yet new, exploring with deep sensitivity the realm of sound and its healing power. Granddaughter of a guitarist, Mariana accompanies herself with a viola and an adufe, a charango from Bolívia, an ud from the Middle East, as well as other instruments which bring colour to the musical landscapes that she creates.."
