Background notes
Archive material and source history
Matota formed in Caracas, Venezuela, led by sisters Mariana and Gabriela Martinez. Their sound draws from Andean folk traditions alongside jazz and contemporary elements, with Mariana playing charango and Gabriela on guitar. The band's lineup has included bassist Juan Ernesto Guevara, drummer Luis Ramirez, and percussionist Pedro Hernandez.
Their 2008 song "Hiva" became their most recognizable work, connecting with listeners through its melodic approach. They followed it with albums like "Camino de Fuego" in 2011 and "Semblanza" in 2014, exploring different aspects of their musical roots. Their 2019 release "Volver a Empezar" continued this pattern of development.
The sisters have occasionally used their platform to address social issues, which has sometimes drawn attention beyond their music. A 2016 performance of "Hiva" at a political rally was one such moment that highlighted this aspect of their work.
