Ronny deCarlo
Ronny deCarlo is the moniker of the Dutch/Colombian guitarist and producer Roenik Roa Espinosa.
His project Fonque Nouveau is about finding a fresh and soulful sound, combining the adventure of jazz with the bombastic beats of hip hop, brought to life by a dynamic band that combines raw live energy with a modern, electronic and cinematic sound.
Ronny’s soundscape also weaves in contemporary influences, drawing from Afrobeats and Trap Soul to create a lush musical tapestry.
A winner of 2023's 'The Records', a competition by the Keep an Eye Foundation, Ronny utilized his prize to record his debut album Fonque Nouveau, which received accolades in the Dutch jazz scene as well as an Edison Jazz 2024 (Dutch grammy's) nomination in the category 'Newcomer'.
