In his two songs he shows his talent -following in some way the free spirit of \u003cb\u003eJohn Fahey\u003c\/b\u003e and sounding like \u003cb\u003eRy Cooder, Jack Rose, Sir Richard Bishop\u003c\/b\u003e and even Gastr del Sol- to deconstruct folk, pass it through his very personal blender of experiences and influences, and assemble it again with outstanding results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter some years of fallow playing in other projects and as backup musician, \u003cb\u003eXisco Rojo\u003c\/b\u003e began in 2013 a solo project based on primitivism, chamber folk and psychedelia, with a strong experimental approach inherited from his past trajectory in the noise, jazz and improvisatory scenes of Berlin, Philadelphia and Madrid. Combining elements of Western and Eastern traditions, he succeeds at creating a unique personal style, rich in counterpoints, mysticism and lyric depth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFollowing the releases of the EP 'Moonlight in the fountain' (Self-released, 2013) and 'Ruina Montium' (Holy Hoof Records \/ Envelope Collective, 2014), an impromptu electric guitar session entirely written, recorded, mixed and mastered in one day, he released in 2015 his second album, focused on acoustic guitar, \u003cb\u003e'You Got To Walk That Lonesome Valley'\u003c\/b\u003e (Holy Hoof Records, 2015). 2016 saw the release of 'Live in Seoul \u0026amp; Kyoto' (Pequeña Criatura, 2016), a cassette with material from his concerts on the Asian leg of the 'Lonesome Tour' and, two years later, ‘Encomienda’ (Holy Hoof Records, 2018), an improv session together with the guitarist Carnisaur.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eXisco Rojo\u003c\/b\u003e has toured Spain, Germany, Switzerland, France, The Netherlands, Portugal, UK, South Korea and Japan, sharing the stage with artists like Esmerine, \u003cb\u003eMatt Elliott\u003c\/b\u003e, Ryley Walker, Steve Gunn, Víctor Herrero, \u003cb\u003eRhys Chatham\u003c\/b\u003e, Exquirla (Niño de Elche + Toundra), DBH, \u003cb\u003eMute Swimmer\u003c\/b\u003e, Taku Hayashi, Noveller, Raisa, Elle Belga, Esperit!, Pablo Und Destruktion, Fee Reega, Alberto Acinas, Negro, Alberto Montero or Carnisaur.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Resistance Ragas' (Acuarela, 2018),\u003c\/b\u003e is now a 7” single with two evocative pagan invocations performed with a Weissenborn, an acoustic lap steel that establishes Hindu invocations through the microtonal possibilities of the instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1.
