Ramiro Marziani

Marziani is a touring and studio guitarist, composer/arranger, conductor and producer from Argentina. From an early age, every time he saw a guitar, he had a desire to play it. It wasn’t until he found a dusty guitar in his Grandma’s house that the journey began. "My dad began showing me progressive rock records from the 70s that he listened to as a child, and that introduced me to a new world of instruments and innovative music that I hadn’t heard before. The concept of Avant-Garde has been with me ever since."

For Marziani, inspiration comes from many different places. A walk to a remote part of town, sitting by the river or observing people’s faces in a crowded place.

“The Martian’s Playground” is Marziani’s first full album, recorded and produced in 2018. A high-energy, driving and exploratory voyage throughout many cultures and sounds, the record slides through Hard Rock, Jazz, South American Folk and Fingerstyle Acoustic songs.

Marziani calls this: "Martian Music | music from outer space".

One moment he's practically shredding with extra metallic crunch, the next it's Latin-tinged acoustic bliss. The aliens on this playground have obviously grown up enjoying the red planet's equivalents of Ralph Towner and Allan ...
