The Miño project came about through a comission for the Portuguese Guimaraes International Jazz Festival for Baldo Martinez, Galician double bassist noted for his work in the area of modern tendencies of European jazz. Some of the compositions, all originals, are based on traditional lyrics and music from his home-land. They are interpreted by nine excellent musicians, each one well known in the jazz and folk circuits, who achieve a rich and varied timbre, combining traditional instruments like hurdy-gurdy together with electric guitar, tuba, vibes, double bass.......developed within a contemporary jazz idiom, this music is inspired by the traditional music from the river Miño area, on the border between Galicia in the north-west of Spain and the north of Portugal. It offers a personal approach within the latest European jazz fields with very strong autoctonas roots. Recently the Projecto Miño have be presented on TANJAZZ Festival, in Marruecos, Germany -MUSIK TRIENNALE KÖLN-Stadgarten- in Cologne, and EUROPEAN JAZZ MADE IN SPAIN-Unterfaht Jazz Club- in Munich- On November 2007 it`s edited the CD “Projecto MIÑO”, this Cd was selected for JAZZ MAGAZINE “Les 10 CDs DISQUE D’EMOI de Janvier 2008”, France.
