An "always work in progress" collection of the band Del Castillo.
I am proud and honored to be on this journey with them, there isn't a better bunch of people I could pop in, photograph, laugh with, take it all with a grain of salt, travel with, and support then these five men that have become brothers to me.

Together, we create a view into the world of Del Castillo, the band, individual members, on the road, private shots and more. All shot in personal moments, group sessions, in laughter and the beauty of natural light (whenever possible!). The hope is to bring their fans, old, new, just discovered together in unity with the band. We welcome you to this documentary journey with the amazing band Del Castillo!

If you are new to the world of Del Castillo please take a moment to check out their music via their web site.

"Del Castillo are a high-energy Chicano band from Austin that sings in Spanish, combining old-school Gitano with flailing nuevo flamenco florishes and churning polyrhythmic percussion. Their secret weapons are brothers Rick and Mark Del Castillo, whose tumbling brilliance on nylon-string classical guitars features jaw-dropping dual leads. These eruptions of technique and taste conjure images of Eddie Van Halen fronting early Santana (with an assist from the Gypsy Kings)."

- Rolling Stone

This Austin-based sextet has become one of the happening bands in a town where catching ears is no small feat. The del Castillo brothers, Rick and Mark, play Spanish guitars, which gives the group a distinctive string sound, underwritten by a heavyweight rhythm section. "Brotherhood" features songs in English and Spanish, and includes Willie Nelson on a tune he wrote, "I Never Cared for You." Whether Del Castillo works in Spanish or English, it rocks righteously. The Spanish guitars' flamenco vibe gives a dramatic flair, abetted by Alex Ruiz's passionate vocals. They pull together Latin music's romance and rock's grit. The result is such blistering tracks as "Vida Latina" and "Arena Al Viento."
