The Martorell brothers, Pere Joan and Manel have been active in the traditional dance festivals in the villages of Majorca since they were very young. In 1993 they made their first performance as musicians at the La Real festival, and since then they have become an established duo, performing regularly both in Majorca and abroad.

They have been members of a number of groups playing traditional Majorcan music, including Voramar, The Xeremiers (pipers) of Son Roca, and Al-Mayurqa, and they have featured on a number of CDs released by these groups.

They play a variety of different traditional instruments:

Pere Joan: bagpipes, pipe and tabor, ethnic and traditional percussion

Manel: a range of stringed instruments including guitar, guitarró, llaut and arxillaut
