In 2005 Maria walked into a theater in USA, asked for a guitar and entered the stage to perform Delta Blues on harmonica and a nylon stringed guitar."Who could imagine someone from Scandinavia knowing the real old delta blues like she does"
BLUES AND MORE FROM SWEDEN
For those who love the blues, there is a harmonica and guitarist named Maria Coyote out of Sweden . Very powerful Delta blues style, with a freedom in performance that was present in the 20´s when that genre was at it’s peak, and not so common now. You can find her site at: http://www.mariacoyote.se/blues.htm Her main is also interesting as she is a talented artist particularly in watercolor.

"It made me happy to hear this. The guitar sound authentic and genuin in the blues. It is seldom to hear someone sing the blues in the old Mississippi-Delta way. Mature and fantastic voice without limits."
Olle Berggren, Music critic, Sweden
"She treat the guitar the same the old blues legends did. On harmonica she is a master. Poweful voice,"Poul Christofferson, journalist, Denmark
"She was held back on stage at a festival for 30 minutes extra numbers."
"She is unique"Olof Nordin, journalist Sweden
"Heavy guitar"Jazz legend Red Mitchell
"One big flaw, though, is that the ladies and non-Americans are unconsciously or by choice overlooked. in my opinion, female harpists such as Maria Coyote, Annie Raines, Willie Mae "Big Mama Thornton etc. belong to the masters. For the non-American influenetial harmonicists, the list is so long that I can't make a choice."
