Del Castillo is the kind of band that feels like a family reunion and a rock show all at once. Their music weaves together flamenco-inspired guitar, blues, Latin rhythms, and rock into something rich and soulful, the kind of sound that draws people in and keeps them there. Billboard describes it as a powerful blend driven by Alex Ruiz’s impassioned vocals and the brothers’ deeply expressive nylon-string guitars.

And the story behind the music is just as warm as the music itself. Brothers Mark and Rick del Castillo started out simply wanting to create something special for their family, an acoustic album rooted in the Spanish music they grew up with. They called on some friends to join in, and before long the music had taken on a life of its own. That heartfelt little album, Brothers Of The Castle, turned out to be just the beginning.

What grew from a labor of love shared among family and friends has since blossomed into a full-fledged band with a devoted fanbase, proof that the best music often starts right at home.
