MARTTEIN, UNA PELICULA ARGENTINA
"MARTTEIN is the artist's self-titled album that describes a tour over one or more nights in the life of the character he embodies: A young man who wanders bouncing between nocturnal adventures through constant risk and adrenaline. The piece is based on three fundamental pillars: The artist's performance and his unique physicality, poetry where he includes relevant characters in the field such as Mariana Enriquez, and a unique musical identity where he adds Dillom in one of the songs. This character is thrown into the night looking for glory to return with failure, he is an Argentine antihero."
