Let Me Tell You Once More
(Satélite K, 2016) — Musics: Mariona Sagarra, voice Raül Costafreda, guitar amb art co-production Marc Vila, percussion and efects Marina Albero, piano Xavi Lozano, mohoceño (flute) Adele Madau, violin Júlia Pérez, cello Maribel Ribero, bass — When I read Montserrat Abelló’s poetry, it struck me, with its form and essence, as precisely what I wanted to say but, of course, so much better expressed!!! Her concise words are so sincere and full of true feelings, lived emotions and real colours. “How lucky”, I thought, “that I can express myself with absolute freedom and with the voice of a woman, in the broadest and most beautiful sense of the word!”. Thus the ‘Abelló Suite’ was born, a collection of poems I would save like little treasures which have allowed me to talk-sing-feel love, desire, Art and commitment… In a word, life.

Maram trio: SONOS (2a edició)
Maram Trio: SONOS Columna Música (2n edition, november 2017) — Mariona Sagarra, voice Marina Albero, psalteri Marc Egea, viola de roda — In the past few years Maram Trio has mixed together ancient melodies —both traditional and medieval— with some improv work and contemporary rhythms, conferring upon them a particularly creative prominence. Each of the three members, with our respective specialty fields and artistic careers, has contributed to designing a repertoire never heard before for such an ensemble. After intense research and hard work, we are convinced to be offering an original sound. This trio project, humble as it is, has been running for some time now and we believe it is here for the long run. We have grown closer to one another and feel right at home when we perform. After all these years together, it was time for us to launch SONOS, a collection of songs (themes,o tunes o tracks) we have been presenting at our concerts. —
