Aurelio Martinez plays Union Chapel Friday 4 December. Win tickets!

Garifuna rising star, Aurelio Martinez from Honduras, makes his UK debut as part of the Rolex Mentors and Protégés Arts Initiative. Following a year of cultural exchange and professional development with mentor Youssou N’dour, Aurelio Martinez presents a night of acoustic Garifuna music – Central American coastal sounds rooted in Africa.

In Honduras, Martinez is celebrated as a champion of the Garifuna people and their unique Arawak/African culture. Through music and politics (he is the first black member of the Honduran National Congress) he is a gifted advocate for the traditions and rights of the community.

To win tickets to this show tell us the name of the group in which Aurelio Martinez played with Andy Palacio. Answers to competition@mondomix.com
