Guillermo de Llera Blanes is a Spanish-born, Portugal-based interdisciplinary artist, ethnomusicologist and composer whose work moves between performance, research, experimental instrument design and audiovisual creation. A founding member of Primitive Reason and a long-standing multi-instrumentalist with more than three decades of artistic practice, he develops projects that connect sonic heritage, digital creativity and live performance. His PhD in ethnomusicology at Universidade Nova de Lisboa focused on the MidiMbira, a hybrid instrument developed through fieldwork and collaboration in Mozambique. His recent work includes installations, documentaries, graphic narrative, and live audiovisual pieces, including the award-winning multi-media installation "Surrounded by the Mbira” currently hosted at the Museu Nacional da Música.
