EL GUINCHO Returns to New York City This July

It has been almost seven years since El Guincho last performed in New York City. That means the last album New Yorkers experienced live is 2010's Pop Negro, instead of last year's HiperAsia. But thanks to a joint effort between Le Poisson Rouge, CANADA, and promoters Spain Fresh, who celebrate Iberian culture in the city, the curse has been broken: El Guincho is set to perform two nights in a row as part of the Spain-Brooklyn Music Series, a celebration of some of the best independent music from each country.

On July 13, El Guincho is taking over Queens' Nowadays venue alongside DJ Turnbull Green and Catalan band Extraperlo. Members Borja Rosal, Pau Riutort, and Aleix Clavera are part of Guincho's live band, and he produced their 2012 album Delirio Específico. Synth pop newcomer NOIA, who's having a moment after the release of her debut EP Habits, joins the lineup on the 13th. The two producers will also play Le Poisson Rouge the following night, July 14. We can't wait for it either, so Pablo Díaz-Rexia himself curated an exclusive Apple Music playlist for us in preparation for his big return. Purchase tickets below.

El Guincho plays Nowadays on July 13 with Extraperlo, NOIA, and Turnbull Green (DJ set). Purchase tickets here. El Guincho also plays Le Poisson Rouge on July 14 with NOIA and Vortex (dj set). Both performances are on sale via Eventbrite.com and LPR.com now.

ABOUT EL GUINCHO:
Pablo Di?az-Reixa, aka El Guincho, was born in Canary Islands, Spain. After his career as a professional futbol player failed he moved to Barcelona in pursuit of cinema and music. To his sruprise he would succeed shortly after when he released his debut Alegranza! in 2007, which almost instantly catapulted him into indie fame worldwide.

Top indie label Young Turks (UK) signed him for the release of his sophomore album Pop Negro (2010) which he recorded with Jon Gass (Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Babyface, Anita Baker) at famous Berlin studios Planet Rock. The album met immense success, its single 'Bombay' lifted his career even further, accompanied by an equally fantastic music video directed by (then emerging) Barcelona-based collective CANADA that spread like wildfire.

He toured for more than two consecutive years in every possible continent repeatedly. Twice through the US and twice more in Latin America, playing for over a thousand people in New York, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, Chile, Colombia, Brasil, Argentina and Mexico. Australia has seen some of his biggest concerts worldwide in Melbourne, Sidney, Brisbane and Perth. His tour of over 120 concerts took him as far as Ghana, Bangkok, Vietnam and Russia beyond his regular European stops in UK, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Germany, Norway and Finland.
