Alegranza By El Guincho Due In Stores In October 14 Aug 2008

"Like M.I.A.'s hippie boyfriend, collagist du jour Pablo Diaz-Reixa airlifts you into a block-party DMZ where voices exult, steel drums ping, rhythms rumble, and synths ricochet."    Spin

We are excited to announce  that El Guincho's album, Alegranza, will be released by the Young Turks label on Tuesday, October 7.

Dee-Lite may have sung about the global village and the age of communication back in 1990, but it's taken until the 21st century for that dream to become a reality in music. Now the new world music has arrived and nobody presents it better than 24 year old Pablo Diaz-Reixa – aka El Guincho – a musician based in Barcelona and raised in the Canary Islands, who feeds traditional island song, African rhythms and sampled psychedelics through an MPC to create something entirely new.

“Palmitos Park,” the first single from the album, gets the party started with an infectious Spanish chorus, male harmonies and the sounds of a village cheering and celebrating. Then there's the rustic rave of “Cuando Maavilla Fui,” with its pulsating peasant chanting, as if to raise the dead. “Buenos Matrimonios Ahi Fuera” breezes the sounds of offshore winds and tinkling percussion through childlike playground choruses. And when “Fata Morgana” begins, it's as if somebody is opening the curtains onto the glorious technicolor of 1970s sunshine, with wonky old analogue synths that warp in the heat.

Customs officers round the world have been baffled by the man who travels with computers and broken bits of planks to play live shows where he controls the pile of equipment with his elbows. When you hear the record, you might be baffled too. But then you'll want to play it again and again.

US tour dates are in the works!!

Barcelona’s El Guincho is the kind of guy who could never be in a band – his ideas are so meticulous and rich they’d be impossible to explain to a cloth-eared drummer.     NME
