Lechuga Zafiro

Lechuga Zafiro is the creative force behind a wild new approach to electronic music, blending traditional South American rhythms with cutting-edge club sounds. Born in Uruguay and now based in Barcelona, he’s made a name for himself as a producer and DJ who’s never afraid to break the rules—whether that means drumming on jungle logs, recording frogs and birds for his tracks, or pushing beat structures far beyond the conventional grid. His debut album, *Desde los oídos de un sapo*, is a perfect example of his adventurous spirit, packed with quirky field recordings, slippery rhythms, and an energy that’s equally at home in a deep-thinking listening session or a sweaty club.

Zafiro (real name Pablo de Vargas) is also the co-founder of the Salviatek label and collective, reflecting his passion for building musical communities and sharing new sounds. His sets and productions, including recent tracks like “Sofoca” and “Oração (Pense & Dance),” blur lines between techno, cumbia, and dub—always with a focus on rhythm and a deep sense of place. Whether performing at major festivals like Sonar or Primavera Sound or experimenting with live remixing on the fly, Lechuga Zafiro stands out for his unique voice and infectious energy.
