Paco Pecado

Paco Pecado presents his new album, Palantino, at Razzmatazz 2, a concept record about what it means to be a contemporary troubadour, with a band formed for the occasion.

With Palantino, Paco Pecado presents a concept album built around a question: what does it mean to be a troubadour today, when screens, algorithms and influencers shape much of our collective storytelling? To answer it, the record revives figures from tradition such as the juglar, the cantautor, the Spanish picaro and the knight-errant, and transports them into the digital present.

Palantino does not name a place, but a poetic way of being in the world: moving forward despite precariousness and uncertainty, wandering and vulnerable, yet with some sense of direction. The record blends references to the popular fair, to wineries and to the digital universe.

On stage, Paco Pecado presents this material alongside a band formed for the occasion, with a show centred on his roguish universe and on the nomadic, contradictory life that the record champions.
