A solo artist and former Deluxe frontman known for poetic lyrics about love and loss.
For a good sense of his lane, try 'Joana' or 'Yo Vi un Hombre Desaparecer'. They're both gentle, lyric-forward songs that don't try too hard.
His songs like 'Joana' and 'Yo Vi un Hombre Desaparecer' use plainspoken Spanish to sketch out quiet moments of searching. That 2005 cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Suzanne' ruffled some feathers for being too personal an interpretation, which tells you something about how he approaches a lyric. He's built a catalog that feels lived-in, not flashy.
He first got noticed fronting the folk-rock band Deluxe. Since 2008, he's put out solo records like 'Atlántico' and 'Paramales', often working with a steady crew of players like guitarist Marcos Cao and percussionist Guillermo Fernández.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
