Javier Bátiz, known as "El Brujo," is a significant figure in the history of Mexican rock music. Born in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, Bátiz developed an early interest in music and by the 1960s had become an influential guitarist, helping to shape the rock and blues scene in his home country. His distinctive style and pioneering influence have been recognized as instrumental in the development of Mexican rock.

Over the years, Bátiz has demonstrated his versatility and passion through various albums, with recent releases such as "Abrazado de un Poste," "Ojos Color Café," and "Carlitos Way" showcasing his mastery in blending traditional blues, rock, and soul into a unique sound. He's also known for his contributions to nurturing new talents, including his tutelage of a young Carlos Santana, which has earned him the affectionate moniker of "El Padrino del Rock Mexicano" (The Godfather of Mexican Rock). Through albums like "Rockopolis Presenta a Javier Bátiz" and "El Baúl del Brujo, Vol. 6," Bátiz has continued to release music that captivates audiences with its depth and genuine expression of emotion, securing his place as an enduring icon in the pantheon of Latin American musicians.
