El Guincho Australian tour!

POSTER

El Guincho is coming to Australia! He will join Architecture in Helsinki on their Like It Or Not tour and play two headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney.

Taking cues from afrobeat, calypso, tropicalia, trance and doo wop El Guincho creates an undefinable mélange of joyous, danceable pop. His live shows have been called “amazonic rave” and are a one man mishmash of percussion, vocals, a floor tom and a whole bunch of samples.

El Guincho’s mind expanding debut album Alegranza has just been released locally on Mistletone and is soon to be released on XL in the UK and USA.
