At the age of only 31 years, Martin Lubenov belongs already to the greatest contemporary virtuosos, arrangers and composers for Balkan accordion. With breathtaking virtuosity and playful elegance the young Bulgarian virtuoso combines Balkan Roma music with shades of swing, modern jazz, tango nuevo, salsa and musette and, doing so, pays honour to it like Astor Piazzolla did to tango and Richard Galliano did to musette. In a very short time he has become one of the leading figures of the booming accordion and Balkan music scene in Vienna.
During the past two years he has been touring clubs and festivals in many European countries and beyond with Martin Lubenov Orkestar and Jazzta Prasta (Belgium, Germany, Finland, Netherlands, Italy, Norway, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Pakistan, Portugal, Turkey, Hungary, USA). In 2005 he was awarded the Austrian World Music Prize for the successful work with his Balkan jazz quartet Jazzta Prasta, and in 2006 he was awarded the renowned French Prix Gus Viseur, category Jazz/World.
