Miguel Moreno discovered rock at 15 with an electric guitar in his hands, and something clicked that didn't click with anything else. For years that energy went into his band El Rojo Gana, whose song "Mañana Dónde Estaré" ("Tomorrow Where Will I Be") captures the restless, searching quality that runs through everything Miguel writes.
Now he's moving into a solo phase, and the approach is changing. Smaller rooms. Voice and guitar. Circles of friends rather than stages with distance built in. "I want to tell the people who I am with my music," he told us — and the closer the setting, the more that telling becomes possible.
He's building a musical autobiography from his existing catalog of songs, finding that the work he did with El Rojo Gana speaks more honestly in stripped-back form. The band was one way of communicating; the solo project is another. What remains constant is the desire to be genuinely understood — not just heard.
