A Show That Reveals Hidden Connections
The starting point is both simple and brilliant: Elton John is not just the piano man. As the foundational text of the show puts it: he is “the shy blues and country singer, the champion of soul and funk, the glam icon par excellence … and, above all, the little boy who fell in love with rock ’n’ roll after listening to Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis.”
THE ELTON JOHN CONNECTION builds on this premise to show the hidden connections between 20th-century popular music and Elton’s artistic evolution. Each genre, each influence, each style that marked his career is interwoven into a narrative: a musical map of an era in which he was not only a protagonist, but also a trailblazer.
The Voice and Charisma of Marta Coloma
This journey needs a confident and emotive guide—and that’s where Marta Coloma shines. With a warm, expressive, and versatile voice, and a natural charisma that immediately connects with the audience, Marta takes on the role of musical narrator: she contextualizes, presents, explains, sings, and celebrates.
She doesn’t aim to imitate Elton—and she doesn’t have to. Her strength lies in how she re-reads and reinterprets his songs, placing them in their historical and sonic context, revealing their roots, and expanding their meaning.
Accompanied by a high-energy, multi-talented band adept at navigating rock, soul, country, funk, and glam, the result is a show that feels both authentic and creatively free.
The Live Experience: Music, Narrative & Emotion
On stage, THE ELTON JOHN CONNECTION is far more than a simple setlist. Marta and her band craft a story with a beginning, middle, and end. The introductions—always measured, never excessive—situate each song in its universe:
-
short anecdotes about Elton’s influences
-
stories about the musical styles that shaped him
-
reflections on his creative journey
-
and emotional moments of connection with the audience
The concert thus becomes an educational and emotional experience, perfect for die-hard Elton fans but equally compelling for listeners looking at him from a fresh perspective.
High-points arrive when songs resonate directly with Marta’s words: a comment about gospel leads into a passionate performance, or a reflection on Elton’s more intimate side gives way to a delicate, heartfelt rendition.
A Show for Everyone
The ideal audience for this show is surprisingly broad:
-
Elton John fans longing to hear new interpretations of beloved songs
-
Music lovers interested in the historical tapestry of 20th-century popular music
-
Spectators who enjoy narrative-driven concerts, not just performance
-
Curious newcomers who may not yet know Elton deeply, but are eager to understand why his music remains so powerful
Because, at its core, THE ELTON JOHN CONNECTION is a sincere, carefully crafted celebration of a legacy that continues to inspire generation after generation.
A Lasting Experience
“Prepare to relive the emotion of a legacy that still inspires. This is not just a show—it’s an experience.”
This phrase captures the essence of the project. Marta Coloma doesn’t just perform Elton John: she contextualizes him, reclaims him, and makes him speak to our collective musical memory. And she does so with passion, respect, and creativity that transform the show into a unique piece within the world of tributes.
A different kind of tribute. A necessary journey. An experience to remember.
