La Sonora Volcánica

La Sonora Volcánica is the brainchild of Frédéric Guigand. His first experience as a musician was in 1987, playing guitar in a blues band. After moving to UK and getting more interested in jazz, he studied music theory to better understand song composition and improve his musical skills. For a short while, he joined a rock band, then a reggae group. After meeting a talented violinist, they started together a jazz formation, performing at many events. Due to the mandatory French national service, he had to go back to France for a couple of years. There he played music in a circus orchestra. More recently he discovered his love for latin music. In 2020, he started working as a music curator for the latin section of one of the largest DJ pools, distributing latin hits to DJs worldwide. Using his musical expertise and extensive professional knowledge of what makes a good song, in 2024 he decided to launch his first latin cumbia album: "Surf Fuerteventura".
