How do you catalogue an artist as Real El Canario? Don’t waste your time, that's impossible! A DJ who is able to spin any style of music, a producer who can innovate with an original sound in a saturated music market or an MC who is able to lift the feeling of his people ... how do you classify someone like this?
I think I better start from the beginning:
Many have tried to steal the credit, but everybody knows who is the godfather, and the absolute driving force of the Eclectic Sound. REAL EL CANARIO, a kid from the Tenerife,( Canary Islands ) has become the most influential Dj in the European Club scene, his Eclectic style have inspired a whole new generation of DJ's thru the continent and quickly spreading all over the world. REAL's journey to success started in the streets of Tenerife in 84, B.boying as a lil kid, and that B.boy state of mind has become one of the main clues to REAL's Style.
Known from his beginings for his frenetic and unpredictable sets, REAL conquered the heart of his island in the 90's bringing the Hip Hop / R&B sound to the highest point till this day, reaching the highest peak in ticket sales on events of this type in Spain.
In 2000 REAL moves to Amsterdam searching for new achievements, not even 6 months later el Canario was already resident in the best spots in the city, sharing stages with stars of the size of Jay Z or Busta Rhymes to name a few. The style and Technic of "The Tenerife Tornado" made serious impact within the public, promoters and DJ's and his charismatic selections quickly started to be imitated thru the country. That’s when the media gave birth to what they called THE ECLECTIC SOUND and REAL EL CANARIO as the absolute Godfather of it. REAL calls Afrika Bambbatta and Grandmaster Flash as his mentors and recalls that his style it’s simply HIP HOP.
After Rocking Europe's biggest Festivals, Stadium sized events and the most exclusive Clubs, REAL begins his new journey, bringing it back to his people by recording his debut album as an MC / producer. REAL & his studio partner EDDY MENDEZ surprised everyone with their original sound in tracks like EL BOOGALOO or U ROCK. After 5 years of studio work here is "LLEGARON LOS OLVIDADOS" the album drops on REAL's own label GOFIO LTD with collaborations of the size of The Beatnuts, Lords of the Underground, or the legendary Keith Sweat. REAL EL CANARIO has been opening doors since day one, and on this new journey he will continue to do so.
