Francisco, el hombre (name taken from a character in the book One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez) cries out with his music for the unity and hope of society, critical of the oppression of economic and political powers in Brazil, a country where the band resides.
Their debut album in 2016 contained what is considered a hymn against gender violence Triste, louca ou má, it was nominated for a Grammy and has accumulated 30 million listeners on Spotify and 31 million on YouTube.
The band is made up of Mexicans Mateo and Sebastián Piracés-Ugarte and Brazilians Juliana Strassacapa, Andrei Martinez Kozyreff and Helena Papini. Their message appealing to a Latin American identity has captured the attention of promoters and the public from all over the continent. They have performed at the main festivals in Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, Ecuador and Portugal. Their music, a mixture of traditional Brazilian music, Afro-Latin with psychedelic punk-rock and electro-punk, is an explosive cocktail on stage. The naturalness with which they defend the individual's right to happiness and freedom to self-define their identity, makes the group a benchmark for the young generations. After their European tour with Casa Francisco, in 2022 they presented the first preview of their next album: Arranca a Cabeça do Rei.
