“People are going crazy for it! A thing of beauty! Excellent Debut album.”- Craig Charles

In support, Maru Jota is an Argentinian-Danish singer-songwriter who grew up in Buenos Aires. Bringing a fresh new look at pop, she injects reggae, jazz and an unshakeable positivity into her live set. Maru's second album, 'Nuevos Aires' offers up a new range of outrageously catchy songs.
