MARTIN ESPINO’S MISSION:

As a “Soundworker”, Martin began by learning to meditate at age 11. Since the 1980’s he has presented what he calls “Soundwork”. He promotes not only “healing” music, but “proactive” music, using his ancestral microtonal instruments to journey with. These exotic ancestral instruments have wonderous positive effects on people and their well being. Now that he has been studying neuroscience, it explained the reactions he saw over the years in his performances and workshops. He incorporates the science that he’s learned to make his presentations and ceremonies, even more effective!

Como músico y educador cultural, anima a la gente a conocer su "identidad cultural" para apreciar que todos estamos en el mismo barco, que todos somos nativos y que podemos hacer un mundo mejor y más amoroso adquiriendo esta conciencia.
