Daniel Higiénico
Barcelona, Spanienpop · rock · comedy
Daniel Higiénico – born Daniel Soler Boquera in Barcelona in 1960 – is one of the most distinctive voices in the Spanish independent music scene. Since the 1990s he has merged songwriting, comedy, and theatrical performance into a stage style that deliberately defies genre. His debut album *Flipando En Colores* (1996, AZ Records), recorded with the Quartet de Baño Band – featuring Toni Pastor (guitar, lute, mandolin), Pep Estrada (bass), Toby Taylor (drums), and Hugo Socrate (percussion) – established his reputation. Songs such as "Vendedor de Sombras", "Ay, Que Pena", and "El Bar de Moda" remain fixtures in his live sets. With the Daniel Higiénico Band he developed a more rock-oriented sound, evidenced by tracks like "Puto Corazón" and "Hace un minuto que dejé de fumar". Documented live appearances include the Mundo Idiota 2012 festival and the Centro Torrente Ballester in Ferrol. His show *Cancionólogos* has toured Spain, with a stop at La Polivalente in Málaga. His Instagram bio captures his wit perfectly: "Too old for reggaeton, too young to die."
