Gabriel Rios and Augusto Bracho

Born in a place inspired by Cormac McCarthy's landscapes, Adrian Ríos crafts confessional indie rock blended with tropical melodies. His album "Playa Negra," co-produced with Ruben Samama, features unique "Postapocalyptic Latin music" and mythic characters from literature. Known for turning love's dark moments into musical narratives, Ríos transforms Cuban son and Puerto Rican salsa into innovative rhythms and spaces.

Venezuelan-born Augusto Bracho blends bolero, ranchera, and cuplé in his unique style. Based in Mexico, he's known as "the welder of rhythms" and acclaimed for albums like Mercado de los Corotos.
