El Guincho is the recording alias of Spanish musician Pablo Díaz-Reixa. Also a member of Coconot, Díaz-Reixa rose to prominence with his 2008 album, Alegranza!. His musical style, influenced by a broad range of artists like Animal Collective and Os Mutantes,[1] relies heavily on the use of sampling and incorporates elements of Afrobeat, dub, Tropicália and rock and roll[2] as Díaz-Reixa achieves what he’s described as a kind of “space-age exotica”.[3] He utilizes a Roland SP-404. He is also known as El Guincho de Tortilla.[4] He is touring Australia in February as part of the St Jerome’s Laneway Festival.
