Maritza: Influences
Apple Music
The Dominican-Canadian's transition from folk purist to electric sensualist reflects her indie-rock heritage. Listen for the breathy beats of fellow Canadian Feist ("My Moon My Man") and swampy blues of Timber Timbre ("Demon Host") on her debut album. Keyboards like those of Mozambican-Canadian singer Samito in "Tiku La Hina" give Maritza's music bonus heft.
