MARTINEZ

It is said...
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 beat box. 
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.

Martinez has been performing professionally since 1997 since then they 
have played a large number of venues around the country.
