PACO PERERA is a bassist and singer who builds his music from the identity and tradition of Canarian folk music, moving towards innovation with a strong mestizo influence. He establishes a dialogue between the old and the new, the local and the universal, the acoustic and the electric.
He uses the popular folk tradition of the Canary Islands as a guiding thread, incorporating many of its characteristic elements—such as instrumentation (laúd, bandurria, timple, Herreño and Gomero drums, chácaras, etc.), folk genres, and traditional Canarian lyrical texts—fusing them with contemporary elements.
After being nominated in three categories at the 2022 Canarian Music Awards (Best Song of the Year – Tanganillo, Best Roots Music Album, and Best Emerging Artist) for his debut album TÁJARA, he now presents a new collection of songs and arrangements based on traditional Canarian music. With a carefully crafted staging, his live performance is dynamic, engaging, and overflowing with Canarian identity.
