“Victor Martinez is one of the greatest Avant Garde guitarists ever” Victor, Andro and Dauno are father and sons. Victor, an extremely accomplished composer, teacher and leader in his field, leads the Martinez family.
Born in Chile they all play six string acoustic and electric guitar, bass and also use their instruments as percussion and vocal beatbox. One minute they play in unison, the next in harmony, then across and against each other, it is calm then chaotic, beautiful then forceful.
It is difficult to fully describe them until you’ve heard them. The interplay and understanding that flows through them is inspiring, endearing and infectious.
They truly captivate their audience as they stretch each other’s ability with a flourish here and an astonishing variation there.
Anyone! or anyone who plays a guitar, anyone who aspires to playing guitar, anyone who enjoys listening to guitar must see these incredible players.
