Music career

The official website places the recording start in 2013 with the self-produced EP Corazones y Ceniceros and the first full-length album, De Tripas Rock ’N’ Roll, in 2016, produced by Alejo Stivel and Fernando Montesinos. Ruta 66 documents the project being articulated with musicians such as Marcial Bonilla, Juanma Barroso and Yeray Rodríguez. The Canary Islands Government later records Habitación 828, Criminales del sueño and concerts with the full band.

Contribution

Its importance in the catalogue is not that of a conventional band, but of a Canarian authorial project with national presence and institutional recognition. The sources place it in tours and shared circuits with Elton John, Bonnie Tyler, Fito & Fitipaldis, Dani Martín and Vetusta Morla, as well as Canarian awards linked to Milenario Olivo and later works.

Style

The project combines rock, blues, pop rock and Spanish-language songwriting. Ruta 66 stresses classic-rock coordinates and references such as The Beatles, Dylan, Led Zeppelin or The Rolling Stones; the Canary Islands Government describes the coexistence of rock intensity, lyrical depth and strong arrangements.

Repertoire

The verified repertory focuses on Corazones y Ceniceros, De Tripas Rock ’N’ Roll, Viajando a Marte, Habitación 828, Milenario Olivo and Criminales del sueño. The profile keeps a verifiable selection and does not aim to close the project’s full output.

Legacy

His legacy rests on a popular memory closely linked to Gran Canaria and on a career that connected melodic song, songwriter rock and the outward projection of the island’s name.

Canary Islands connection

The Canarian connection is documented by his birth in Gran Canaria, his base of work in Las Palmas and the use of repertory and collaborations associated with the island context.
