Francisco Martínez
Cafe Coda 1224 Williamson St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
press release: Francisco Savage Martínez came to Madison in 2002, and immediately made his mark at the beginning of his midwestern musical journey with the AfroCuban fusion band El Clan Destino. Throughout his years in Madison, Francisco has played African rhythms with Kikeh Mato, Latin jazz with Tony Castañeda, Latin pop with Son Contrabando, reggae with Natty Nation, and is currently writing and performing with his own AfroCuban salsa ensemble Rebulú.
Francisco & Friends is a performance in which some of these fruitful collaborations between musical brothers and sisters are revisited in an acoustic setting. The first half of the show will feature Francisco playing the music of Natty Nation and Rebulú with the members of each band. The second half of the show will contain the debut of Francisco’s original Spanish-language project, Salvaje Martínez. The music of Salvaje Martínez is influenced by all of the styles that Francisco has enjoyed playing over the years.
