Lucía Martínez Cuarteto

After a musical life of 10 years The Lucía Martínez Quartet releases their second album "De viento y de Sal".

The Lucía Martínez Quartet is a project led by the Galician Lucia Martinez (drums, percussion and composition)and featuring João Pedro Brandão (alto sax and flute), Pedro Neves (piano) and Carl Minnemann (doublebass).

Their first album “Soños e Delirios” was published in 2009 by the label Karonte / Nuba Record, with the participation of the singer Maria João and Spanish saxophonist Perico Sambeat, and was nominated for Best Jazz Record of the Year at the Independent Music Awards in Spain.

The Lucía Martínez Quartet is a project influenced by the folk music of Galicia, classical music, flamenco and music from the Mediterranean, as well as the new European avant- garde music. The group has been active in national and international festivals and has received rave reviews that qualify the project as an interesting and solid proposal, open not only to jazz festivals but also chamber music and new music events.

Her new album “De viento y de sal” is a musical journey that moors off the lush Pacific Coast of Columbia, sails through the Mediterranean Sea and finally docks in Vigo, its destiny, filled with histories and coupled with just the right touch of delicacy, nostalgia and romanticism. The album came out in 2014 edited by Karonte / Nuba Records, with the participation of Cuban singer Pável Urquiza.
