Once upon a time, eight friends living in Rotterdam shared a passion for fusion and jazz music. Together, their experience covers all kinds of different areas of music business. National and international artists have already crossed their path. To make music to the best of their abilities, they decided to start their own group. They decided it’s time to take their personal flavours and throw them in a blender. Marutyri was born! Marutyri is a mixture of funk, fusion, jazz and RnB: inspiration guaranteed. Funky grooves, spicy chords and wild compositions will make you dance for sure, and think a little as well!
