El Barrio, aka José Luis Figuereo Franco, has spent his life exploring the sounds of Andalusian rock, progressive rock and flamenco. The poet and singer blends flamenco guitar with hard-hitting, raw lyrics delivered in his recognisably powerful voice. Clean, modern production on tracks like the smash hit "Pa' Madrid" shows off the artist's ability to adapt traditional style for new audiences, as do his experiments with chugging metal guitars and vibrant salsa. No matter what genre informs his music, his distinctive, passion-driven style has filled venues with die-hard fans for decades.
