A Majorero singer-songwriter based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, active since 2009 between singer-songwriter music and alternative folk.
José Antonio Fajardo Rodríguez is a Majorero musician and singer-songwriter known professionally as Fajardo.
Open biographyArchivo Canarias places him in Puerto Cabras, now Puerto del Rosario, and notes that he began his first peninsula tour in 2009. Since then he has built an independent career of singles, splits, an EP and several albums, moving between Fuerteventura and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Bandcamp and related promotional pages show a sustained trajectory from his 2010 first records to Trecho, published in 2024 and recorded live in 2023.
His interest for contemporary Canarian music lies in a writing style centred on voice and guitar, with expressive diction and an intimate treatment of language that Archivo Canarias highlights explicitly.
Bandcamp tags his work with folk, experimental folklore, indie folk, roots, singer-songwriter and traditional. That mix matches an acoustic singer-songwriter proposal open to collaborations, studio textures and a strongly narrative use of the voice.
The documented discography here focuses on fajardo (2010), Split Fajardo/Malcortado (2010), Muñecos (2011), Arrullo Magnético (2015), En casa (2020), Intuición (2021) and Trecho (2024). The same Bandcamp page also adds collaborations and releases such as El Baile, Qué quiere el hombre, A6A and Trabajadoras, useful for tracking the evolution of his repertory.
His legacy is that of an independent trajectory that has kept the link between Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria alive, making voice, guitar and language his most recognisable signature.
The Canarian connection lies in his birth in Fuerteventura, his residence in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and a body of work that repeatedly returns to island memory.
