Francisco, El Hombre

Francisco, el Hombre is a fast-rising Mexican-Brazilian band that mixes folkloric Latin rhythms with a gypsy spirit.

Taking its name from a wandering minstrel of Colombian folklore, Francisco, el Hombre, is far more than the personification of an old legend. This Mexican-Brazilian band began with Mexican brothers Sebastián and Mateo Piracés-Ugarte who settled in Brazil after traveling the world with their instruments. Now a quintet, the brothers are joined by Lazúli, Andrei Kozyreff and Helena Papini and have created a project that perfectly mixes their Mexican and Brazilian roots. Driven by their cosmopolitan spirit, they sing in Portuguese and Spanish and have become a fundamental piece for the cultural connection in Latin America. Whether playing on the street, in the middle of the jungle or on stages around the world, Francisco, El Hombre’s contagious energy is unquestionable, regardless of the language they choose to sing in.
