Martin Iannacone Martin Iannaccone was born in 1965 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He comes from a family of musicians and started learning music at an early age. Drums, percussion, piano and bass were soon followed by violoncello. Due to his father’s strong influence (Roberto Yanés, a major CBS Columbia Latin American singer, who recorded with Astor Piazzola and Osvaldo Fresedo among other great artists) Martin learnt to use his voice as another “musical instrument”. After high school, he moved to the USA where he studied at Miami Dade Community College. Back in Argentina he studied Composition with Daniel Montes. He won the Jazz/Popular Music First Award in the Bienal Arte Joven 1991 Buenos Aires. His contribution with the violoncello to the contemporary jazz field of Buenos Aires’ musically blossoming 90s had a very favorable response. In 2002 Martin Iannaccone moved to Germany and currently lives in Berlin. He has the ability of adapting to projects in different styles of music. Many important artists have trusted his sound, whether it is bass, cello, percussion or vocals. He has performed and composed for many groups and personal projects such as Tango Crash co-founded with Daniel Almada and encouraged by the great Joe Zawinul. This award winning electro-tango band currently performs in Europe and South America.
