Jorge Martinez
A former child prodigy and virtuoso guitarist, Jorge Martinez is a major player in stylistic fusion. Inspired as much by ancestral music as modern sounds, he delivers a free-spirited, sincere flamenco-fusion, equal parts technical prowess and Latin pride. It's danceable, festive, moving and free-spirited. It was no surprise that he caused a sensation as the opening act for the great Cesaria Evora at the 2008 Festival International de Jazz de Montréal.
