Not your typical corn-fed, Alternative Nation raised indie kid, Ramón the furious half-blood wrote his first songs when he was 9 and formed his first professional band (the name was Denver in Dallas and it was "energetic Indie-Rock ») at 18. But Ramón Alarcón found his voice and way and became Ramona Córdova (his grandmother's name) following a more solitary path, exploring back the different branches of his amazing family tree (the ramifications of which lead to the Canaries, Puerto Rico, Haiti & the Philippines).
Quite amazingly, he became great in an instant, writing almost immediately the collection of alchemical folk songs that would end up on his first album. A collection of songs that scatters between children music (Snow White or Peter Pan), musical tell-tale story and Gipsy music (Ramón quotes the Gipsy Kings as an influence, and he's not joking) and which set him as an essential character of our musical time, ever craving for hearty gestures, magic, and melodies that are made to stay. He's been living ever since wherever his musical adventures have lead him, in France, Australia, or in some wooden shed in the middle of a cotton field, where he's most certainly writing the songs of his second magnum opus.
