Martín Benavides

Martín Benavides is a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist and composer hailing from Chile, whose musical expertise predominantly lies in the realms of jazz, fusion, and experimental sounds. He has carved a unique niche for himself in the South American music scene and beyond, with an inventive approach that melds traditional musical sensibilities with avant-garde expression. Best known for his mastery of the electric bass and his skill with electronic effects, Benavides infuses his compositions with a profound sense of narrative and emotional depth, establishing a distinctive voice within the contemporary music landscape.

Over the years, Benavides has expanded his discography with albums that showcase his penchant for innovation and his command over his craft. "Mœbius" and "Temporal" are illustrative of his journey into the intricate patterns of sound, often defying genre conventions and listener expectations. His album "Break Fast" further exemplifies this, as Benavides delves into complex rhythms and harmonies. Live recordings such as "En Vivo en el Bar de René" capture the raw energy and improvisational prowess of his performances, while "I've Got the Blues" is a nod to the more traditional roots of his musical influences, filtered through his modernistic lens. "Salvaje Nostalgia" adds to his discography with a more introspective take, allowing emotional landscapes to emerge through his compositions. His album "III" persists in this trajectory, confirming his role as a transformative figure in the tapestry of Latin American music, exploring the intersections of jazz, rock, and electronic music with a refreshing authenticity.
