OMN, new musical project 

OMN proposes a sound and visual journey by the pianist from Tenerife Polo Ortí, the Uruguayan violinist, Federico Nathan and the Madrid percussionist, Sergio Martínez.

Three generations of composers and performers with solid training and a recognized artistic career, whose common axis revolves around the Berklee College of Music in Valencia, where these musicians carry out their teaching work.

It is here where the idea of ​​lighting a sound proposal is forged that unites its three musical visions: jazz, flamenco and popular - contemporary music, all of them performed under the same prism. Through research, fusion and exploration of new avenues of artistic expression, Ortí, Martínez and Nathan - OMN - create music without borders, on its most versatile side and free from prejudice. In short, a risky, interesting and deeply imaginative proposal.

To us to make the change to a better world and for that, we must raise our consciousness, covering a large halo of love for our beloved Earth".

Polo Ortí & Javier Vercher

Polo Ortí & Javier Vercher

Café Teatro Rayuela, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands

Polo Ortí is, above all, known for his jazz facet. However, many of the compositions he has created throughout his extensive career could not and should not have been considered jazz. In fact, they could not and should not have been included in any musical style. Because Polo Ortí has created his own music and forged his own stamp, the fruit of a musical legacy acquired in the middle of the 20th century and culminated by the influences of the current century. Javier Vercher, on the other hand, is a pure jazzman at heart, whose approach embraces both the avant-garde and the old school. His soundscapes develop gradually and, at times, a palpable sense of the spiritual. Polo and Javier, piano and sax, will combine their talents to give us music imbued with personality and their own stamp. Through an intimate and evocative concert, the musicians will cover a repertoire of their own compositions and revisions of well-known jazz standards. The connection and affection that both musicians have for each other on stage has been reflected in several concerts they have performed throughout Spain. Now, for the first time in the Canary Islands, we will finally be able to enjoy the magic of these two great musicians.
