Event
Los Martinez: a benefit concert for KUPR Placitas Community Radio
The brothers Martinez grew up performing traditional music with their father, Roberto Sr. (Los Reyes de Albuquerque), and on their own. Lorenzo Martinez is a master folk violinist and a NEA National Heritage Fellow for preserving and promoting New Mexico's violin tradition. He has recorded two seminal albums - the first when he was 15! - of this rapidly fading repertoire. Roberto Martinez Jr. accompanies Lorenzo on guitar and vocals, and Laurence Martinez joins in on guitarron. Performing inditas, polkas, redondos, and musical forms from New Mexico and the Western U.S. Creating a unique blend of music which draws from the diverse cultures of New Mexico past and present, Los Martinez are an authentic New Mexican musical experience.
All net proceeds from the concert will benefit Placitas community radio station KUPR 99.9 FM.
The show is presented by Avokado artists and KUPR
