Traditional Flamenco through Song and Guitar   Marta's flamenco singing and Richard's guitar appeal to audiences across different cultures.  They have taken their music from Nova Scotia to places as remote as Sikkim and Fiji, usually performing as a duo and sometimes as accompanists for flamenco dancers.  As singer and guitarist they have performed together for sixteen years.  Among their travels they have traced flamenco's roots from India through the Middle East to eastern Europe and thence to Spain, presenting their shows to audiences in all of these regions as well as across the USA and Canada. They appeared as guests in a series of concerts presented by Broadway Concerts Direct of New York.  

Flamenco is still traditionally performed in an intimate setting, however the couple's venues vary from the giant Saska Arena in Prague to a tavern in Biarritz, from a cruise boat in the Arabian Gulf to the theatre of the prestigious Birla Academy of Arts and Culture in Calcutta, and include concerts in theatres, hotels and clubs around the world.  

In 2008 they recorded at the City Theatre in Ljubljana for Carmela & Paulino based on Ay Carmela! and also recorded at a Ljubljana studio for the flamenco dance group Luna Gitana.  During this year they performed on Slovene Television for the show "Harmonije Evropa".   In 2007  Marta and Richard won first prize in the Solo/Duo category  in Music Fest 2007 presented by AVR at Upper Clements Park, Nova Scotia.
