The Tijuana-via-Mexicali musician—who's been hiding his identity behind the grinning devil emoji—caused hype in the música fronteriza scene for his raw storytelling and one-man-band show involving a fierce 12-string guitar. The anonymous rising star built a strong following busking before he released a trilogy of LPs in 2018. Channeling the narcocorridos of yesteryear with contemporary awareness, the enigmatic guitarist sings of a border-life existence that has made him a modern-day folk hero. On his third LP, Con Los Pies en la Tierra y la Mirada en el Cielo, he expands his sound by adding an invigorating brass section.
