Argentine’s child prodigy Jorge Martinez is a phenomenon of the guitar.

Jorge’s music is perhaps best described as original international acoustic instrumental improvisational guitar music, world guitar, or ethnojazz. His music is saturated with his cultural roots: Latin American folk, flamenco and Middle Eastern music, and draws heavily from the jazz concept of improvisation.

Although influenced by flamenco, the music is distinct from it. There is a phenomenon in flamenco called "ida y vuelta" ("roundtrip"), which describes the borrowing of Latin American elements into Spanish flamenco and vice versa, a process which began in colonial times and is on going today.

On stage Jorge leaves his audience with that familiar look of desbilief. His technics are unique, nothing short of amazing “a phenomenon”. Jorge has dedicated his life not to playing guitar but in perfecting his skill of communicating through his instrument.

Guitar player, composer, arranger, musical director and producer, Jorge Martinez was born in Argentina. He has played guitar since he was 14 years old. He founded many different projects such as BUFALO (latin-rock), and MASA CRITICA (contemporary music project) Argentine. He co-produce the JOANNA MOON project (flamenco-latin music) Toronto, and collaborated in the recording of DEEP THOUGHT AND TOUCHÉ (hip-hop and r&b) Vancouver as well as CATHERINE POTTER, DUNIYA project, Montreal. Recently he collaborated in the recording of THE BILZ album (Urban music) Montreal.

At 33 years old, having “strolled” on almost all the fronts of the modern guitar, Jorge Martinez, at the top of his art, decides indeed to take up with the music of his heart.
