Mistletone proudly presents El Guincho, direct from Barcelona and touring Australia for the third time: this time around, as a three piece led by one-man, space-age exotica party machine, Pablo Diaz-Reixa.

El Guincho’s infectious, ecstatic tribal beats and Spanish language chants make it literally impossible to feel sad! The syncopated beats and eternal pop sunshine hits are the aural equivalent of warm beach breezes from Pablo’s native Canary Islands.

Having charmed the socks off Australian audiences on previous touring jaunts here (with Laneway Festival and Architecture in Helsinki), El Guincho returns hot on the heels of Pop Negro, the new album out now on Remote Control.

Packed with upbeat, nostalgic pop jams for the beach, summer drives with friends and twilight BBQs, Pop Negro is another blissful world-beat pop excursion by El Guincho, joyously blending Afrobeat percussion and psych tropicalia.

To quote Prefix magazine: “Steel drums, soaring Spanish vocals, guitars that clang like bells: the whole thing reads like a manual on how to make music to shake your arse to”. So rejoice, sun-seekers: here comes El Guincho and here comes summer, just when we need them the most!
