World Musi­ci­an Taryn­ne Swarts aka. „Pacha­ma­ma”, mea­ning mother earth in Spa­nish, is a singer‐songwriter, pia­nist and pro­du­cer from South Afri­ca. Her music has a distinct Afri­can voice, with an eclec­tic array of afro jazz tex­tures and tones pay­ing homage to Afri­ca. It is inspi­red by Neo‐soul, pop, rock, Afro and Latin influen­ces. Swarts grew up in a musi­cal fami­ly and has fond memo­ries of hea­ring her late father and grand­mo­ther play gos­pel music in church. Her music takes you on a jour­ney through a spec­trum of emo­ti­ons and nost­al­gia. Some of her com­po­si­ti­ons include: Love is a ter­ri­to­ry, Edge of Para­di­se, Monkey’s Wed­ding, Pacha­ma­ma and Mbaqanga.
