Twanguero: Six Strings, One Legend

Described as a “fire-breathing guitar hero” and dubbed “Spain’s King of Twang” by Guitar Player magazine, Latin Grammy winner Diego García, known as Twanguero will bring passion, poetry, and jaw-dropping skill to Bellingham. 

Famed for his fingerpicking finesse, signature twang, and genre-defying sound, Twanguero blends classical Spanish guitar with Latin rhythms, country, rockabilly, jazz, and even surf music. García prefers a more romantic description of himself: a 3-in-1 guitarist deeply in love with his instruments.

For longtime fans, Twanguero’s music is a gift. For those yet to discover him, it’s an experience waiting to unfold with an invitation to feel first, then find the words.

Twanguero has performed and recorded with a dazzling roster of international artists, including Andrés Calamaro, Mercedes Sosa, Diego El Cigala, Wyclef Jean, Fito Paez, Juanes, and more. His work spans stage, studio, and screen, with soundtrack contributions for film, radio, and television across Spain and the Americas.

His latest endeavor, Los Silverbacks, is a world music collective formed with Argentinian and Congolese musicians — just one more way he’s expanding the sonic frontier.
