Editor's note

Caloncho's warm folk-pop from Hermosillo

A Mexican singer-songwriter who blends folk, reggae, and electronic touches into melodic, sun-soaked songs.

For a good sense of his sound, try 'Bésame Morenita' or 'Shulaguapa', they're both laid-back but catchy, with that folk-pop feel he does so well.

His music feels like a gentle, melodic escape, built on a folk foundation but never stuck in one place. Tracks like 'Bésame Morenita' and 'Bebé' have that easy warmth, and his 2018 collaboration with Bomba Estéreo on 'Regalo' showed he could stretch into international sounds without losing his touch.

He started writing songs as a teenager in Hermosillo, influenced by rock, blues, and regional folk. His albums moved from the debut 'Fruta' in 2011 to 'Carmesí' in 2019, which mixed folk with reggae and electronic touches, and he plays with a steady band including Israel Ramírez on drums.
