VÍVA EL GUINCHO!

Hola, no se Espanol mucho. So I'll just tell you about Barcelona artist El Guincho in English. Now my high school Spanish only goes as far as ordering tacos and a cerveza followed by asking where the bathroom is (thanks public school system), so I'm not quite sure what Guincho means in Spanish; thankfully my tenure in high school Spanish did teach me that "El" translates to "The." Here is my guess at what Guincho means:

Guincho - Spanish (noun): A one-man band consisting of Pablo Diaz-Reixa using a SP-404, a drum machine and several effects pedals while screaming into microphones. Known for his sanguine melodies and flamenco-inspired loops, he is rumored to have audiences in fiesta-like frenzies. Album Alegranza! just released.

Synonyms: Spanish Dan Deacon.

Bailar aqui!
