(+1 Included) Lulaworld 2026: Marta Elena Album Release

JUNO Award-winning powerhouse Marta Elena kicks off the 20th annual Lulaworld Festival at Lula Lounge on May 11, 2026, for the highly anticipated release of her sophomore album, Por Amor. This opening-night celebration features a special guest appearance by Latin Grammy-winning piano virtuoso Hilario Durán, joining Marta Elena as she bridges the gap between deep Afro-Cuban tradition and contemporary global sounds.

Recorded in Toronto with a premier cast of Cuban-Canadian talent, Por Amor is a bold evolution of her sound—weaving classic salsa and bolero roots with modern funk and regional Latin influences. Known for her commanding stage presence and visceral vocal power, Marta Elena transforms the iconic Dundas West venue into a high-energy sanctuary of rhythmic innovation and cultural storytelling. This performance serves as a definitive milestone for the Canadian Latin scene, celebrating two decades of Lulaworld and the enduring spirit of the Cuban mulata tradition.
