Chus Martinez

THE CHUS MARTINEZ PROJECT

Chus Martínez is a relatively obscure Spanish guitarist who in the late-sixties and early-seventies played cheesy easy listening tunes with this band -- often covers of well known hits. Given Martinez's failure to conquer the world musical scene he can be interpreted as a symbol of heroic failure, and his name has been specially selected for a new multiple identity project in the tradition of Monty Cantsin, Karen Eliot and Luther Blissett. The Chus Martínez moniker has the advantage of being one that might belong to either a male of a female since Chus as a first name does not appear to be gender specific. In this way it is superior to any previous multiple identity we are aware of. Chus Martínez is a transsexual collective phantom. Anyone can be Chus Martinez - just start using the name!
