Óscar Alfonso Castro aka Caloncho never rushes a vibe. He crafts chilled and blissed-out cuts that wind around reggae-inflected songs inspired by his personal experiences and Mexican folk culture. This unhurried approach evokes daydreamy images of nature, beaches and love for his community—as on the breezy strut of “Palmar” and “Brillo Mio”, where Caloncho combines soothing vocals with clipped strums of guitar. It’s easy to hear how he’s earned several accolades, including a Latin Grammy® nomination for Best Alternative Album in 2014.
