Martin, who is visiting Iran for the first time, is scheduled to visit the historical sites of Persepolis, Pasargad, and Naqsh-e Rostam in Fars province during his stay in the province.
The guitarist will also give three solo performances in Tehran at the Niavaran Palace from September 2 to 4. The ambassadors of Spain, France, and Italy are expected to attend the performances.
Martin, who was voted one of the top three guitarists in the world by the U.S. magazine “Guitar Player”, is a native of Andalucia, Spain, where he still has a home in Malaga.
However, he spends much time on tour and in London, where he has formed an international company, Flamencovision, for the promotion of high quality flamenco which he rehearses and brings direct from Andalucia.
He has recorded 14 albums, mostly as a composer and currently has 4 videos distributed by Warner Brothers which, despite their purity, are always amongst their best sellers.
His method book “El Arte Flamenco de la Guitarra”, which has also been translated into Persian, has opened the complex art of the flamenco guitar to the whole world and is assiduously studied from Moscow to Beijing to San Francisco and back to Spain and has assured his name for posterity.
He has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival and at other international festivals in Edinburgh, Istanbul, and Hong Kong. He has also performed with Herbie Hancock.
