Martha Demetri Lewis

 

Martha Demetri-Lewis continues on a vast and varied musical journey which marries the urban blues of Athens in the 1920’s ‘rembetika’ with urban London.

Martha D Lewis has recently presented and was a featured singer in a documentary film entitled ‘Canary’, by the award-winning Israeli director Roy Sher.

Her new recording and performing venture, inspired by the making of the film and Martha’s musical background as a composer, provides a stimulating new contribution to the margins and borders of World music. Courageous interpretations and arrangements of music from 20’s to 50’s, the meeting and melting point of Eastern Med music and new jazz infused compositions, Martha D Lewis drives a spirited, high powered ensemble of top class musicians from the Jazz and World music stage to communicate her vision.
