El Fantasma

El Fantasma has been praised as one of the most important independent acts in the Latin genre and has continually defied expectations to create one of the most unique musical voices to come out of the United States in the 21st century. In 2008 they received their first Grammy Nomination for their album Sonidos Gold. In 2011, they garnered further acclaim by winning the Grammy for their self–produced release El Existential on Nat Geo Music, which the Wall Street Journal called “Latin music both new and traditional…vibrant fusions that transcend easy classification.”

The band stands out as a pioneer and an institution in their hometown Austin Musical Community with over a decade of consecutive Austin Music Award wins, resulting in 13 awards and induction into the Austin, Texas Music Hall of Fame.
