Del Castillo has become a symbol of the cross-cultural power of music with their phenomenal live shows and an eclectic blend of Flamenco, Rock, Latin, Blues, and World music.

It all began in late 2000 when brothers Rick and Mark del Castillo decided to put together an album of Latin/Flamenco-style songs for their parents and friends in their hometown of Brownsville, Texas. By 2003, Del Castillo had become one of Austin’s most popular bands and they swept the Austin Music Awards that year, winning seven awards including “Band of the Year” and “Album of the Year”.

Their work has been featured extensively in films by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarrantino, opening the door for extensive touring with such artists as Ozomatli, Los Lonely Boys, Los Lobos, Kinky, deSol, and others. The group has performed at three of Willie Nelson’s 4th Of July Picnics and at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival.

Billboard Magazine said, “…Whether Del Castillo works in Spanish or English, it rocks righteously…They pull together Latin music’s romance and rock’s grit.”
