Background & Trajectory

Artistic Biography

Eduardo Bortolotti is a Mexican violinist, composer, and performing artist based in Bielsko-Biała, Poland. His artistic proposal merges contemporary jazz, world music, and modern sound experimentation, integrating acoustic and electric violins with indigenous wind instruments (pre-Hispanic ocarinas and flutes) and real-time audio loop processing (live looping).

A graduate in Jazz Violin from the prestigious Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice (Poland), Bortolotti's work showcases the electric violin as a dynamic, cutting-edge instrument centered around improvisation, modal frameworks, and creative sound design. His discography, highlighted by the album Huapango Nights, reinvents traditional Mexican and Latin American rhythms through sophisticated jazz harmonies.

As a soloist and ensemble leader, he has performed at international festivals and venues across the USA, China, Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Cyprus, Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. Bortolotti brings proven experience in cultural diplomacy, having performed in official showcases organized in collaboration with the Embassy of Mexico in Beijing (China-Mexico Friendship Jazz Concert, 2019) and cultural summits in Baku, Azerbaijan (2018) .
