Francisco Xifra

Songs in Spanish, English and Italian give Francisco Xifra's sets an easy, travelling feel. He's an Argentine singer-songwriter who splits his time between Sydney and the Blue Mountains, playing acoustic with indie, folk, Latin and blues in the mix. Covers run from Manu Chao and Bob Marley to Elvis Presley and The Beatles, and his own songs sit among them. Six-plus years of busking and gigs in pubs, at weddings and at private events have taken him through Europe, South America, New Zealand and Australia. That warmth suits a long lunch, a garden wedding or a dinner with guests from more than one background.
