The Martini are a relatively recent classic musical entree from the French family Massot. I think it exists after no more than 7 years or so. David, the auguste at the left of the picture, is also a nice reprise clown.

Not to be confused with the Martini-Llata, a Spanish musical entree from the late 70s.

  2. The originsl Martini Clowns were created about 1960, in Barcelona :Spain. They were Rino (white face) and Manolo and Juanito (two augusts)After Manolo with another white face (Carlos)and Lorenzo creatde another team of the Martini, who joined the second august of the RudiLlata team:Joselito, and the new team was named:The MartiniLlata.
    About 1975 the team was desapered and Lorenzo with their family created the actual Martini. Sorry with my englis is not very good.
