Francisco, El Hombre

Future Yard

Known for their genre-blending style that mixes Brazilian traditions, Afro-Latin rhythms, psychedelic punk-rock, and electro-punk, Francisco, el Hombre’s performances are an explosive spectacle.

Taking their name from a character in Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, Francisco, el Hombre is celebrated for their dynamic fusion of Mexican and Brazilian influences. The band, featuring Mexicans Mateo and Sebastián Piracés-Ugarte and Brazilians Juliana Strassacapa, Andrei Kozyreff, and Helena Papini, delivers socially charged music, addressing issues like gender violence in their Grammy-nominated anthem, “Triste, louca ou má.”
