The Mexican-born multi-instrumentalist Luiz Marquez began his career as a musician as early as in the 1960s. In 1971 he commenced studies in Mexican folk and pre-Hispanic music under the tutelage of Zacharias Segura, the incumbent Director of the Mexican National Ballet. 

Marquez's impressive instrument collection comprises more than 200 ethnic instruments, including different sorts of flutes, ocarinas and instruments made of turtle shells, snail shells etc. In his expression, blues meets traditional Central American music and various other genres to astonishing effect. Over his long career, Marquez has performed around the world at different venues and festivals.
