Mariano Castro

**Mariano Castro** is an Argentine singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose music weaves together the soulful textures of South American folk with modern experimental flair. Based in Buenos Aires, Castro has carved out a niche blending traditional Andean instruments like the charango and quena with electronic beats, creating a sound that feels both rooted and refreshingly innovative. His recent releases, like *Luna Tango* and *Viento del Sur*, showcase his knack for merging haunting melodies with rhythmic complexity, while live tracks such as *Anarcolonga (En Vivo)* highlight his dynamic stage presence.

A key figure in Argentina’s neo-folk scene, Castro often collaborates with fellow artists pushing boundaries in Latin alternative music (like Sofia Campos). Tracks such as *The Experiments* and *ABRIL* reveal his playful curiosity, bouncing between introspective acoustic moments and genre-blurring production. Whether he’s crafting intimate ballads (*Cuenco*) or danceable grooves (*Limanueva*), Castro’s work feels like a love letter to his cultural roots—reimagined for late-night urban vibes and open-road adventures alike.
