As a child, Caloncho lived in Guadalajara where his favorite activity was playing the drums, until he later decided to experiment with melody. At the same time, he started playing the guitar that his grandfather had left for him years before, and soon learned to play songs from artists such as Bob Marley and Sublime.
Based on his own confession, Caloncho was the name his grandfather and step-sister, Angélica, used to call him when he was very little and since the name never annoyed him, he decided to use it as his musical stage name.
His first EP "Homeotermo" was recorded in 2011, and soon after, he started working with músician Siddhartha (a former-teacher and friend). He asked him to be his producer and Siddhartha agreed, saying about him: "Caloncho is a newly born musician, he is being newly discovered, both by himself and by those around him. He sent me a sample of his music and I immediately felt it was a musical obligation to help extract the sweet juice from his fruitful melodies." (Caloncho's website).
Caloncho then released his second EP, titled "Fruta" (Fruit), in September 2013. This production mixes his unique musical style with rhythms and stories of Mexican national folk, beaches, and forest rhythms, as well as urban sounds. All these sounds are used to retell different situations from his own life.
"We experimented a lot during the creation of the EP. We used organic sounds and objects that are not considered musical instruments, such as water, fruit, seeds, lighters, etc. I love it and I want to hear it", he said.
Calancho has admitted that thanks to music, he has been able to live his life through all his senses. Music has also allowed him to feel completely connected with his family. "My dad would write and play songs for us, and he would invite us to build on them, as a way to be in communion with each other," he's said.
In 2015 he published the LP, "Fruta Vol. II" (Fruit Vol. II), a production worked with certain arrangements.
He was nominated for the Latin Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.

Caloncho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y no te entiendo nada
Yo hablar español
Vengo en son de paz
Hoy caballero soy
Con escudo anti-llamas
Todo va a estar bien, amor
Se destendió la calma
La ira es ilusión
No es la realidad
La lluvia se hizo emulsor
Te traje tu paraguas
Mírame aquí estoy, amor
Cerca, te quiero cerca de mí
Concédeme tu compañía
El resto de mi vida
Quédate cerca de mí
El día del drama llegó
Y no te entiendo nada
Te hablo del corazón
Es la realidad
Hoy caballero soy
Te traje tu paraguas
Please, ponte feliz, amor
Cerca, te quiero cerca de mí
Concédeme tu compañía
El resto de mi vida
Quédate cerca de mí
Soy tu amigo, mujer
Reflejémonos bien
Para siempre, si quieres
Cerca, te quiero cerca de mí
Concédeme tu compañía
El resto de mi vida
(Concédeme tu compañía)
Cerca, te quiero cerca de mí
Concédeme tu compañía
El resto de mi vida
Quédate cerca de mí
Quédate cerca de mí
Quédate cerca de mí
The song "Amigo Mujer" by Caloncho is a beautiful expression of love and friendship. The lyrics describe a situation where the singer's friend (who is a woman) is going through a challenging time, and he wants to be there for her. He doesn't speak her language well, but he still tries to convey his support through his words. He reminds her that everything will be okay and that he's there to shield her from any harm that may come her way. The singer tells her that her anger is just an illusion and asks her to hold onto her umbrella, as if to say, "I've got you covered."
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's desire to be close to his friend. He asks her to stay by his side for the rest of his life and to grant him her company. He tells her that he is her friend and that they can reflect on each other's goodness forever. The singer's message is clear: he loves his friend deeply and wants to be there for her no matter what. The song is a beautiful tribute to friendship and love that transcends language and cultural barriers.

Cada que escucho esta canción me dan ganas de llorar, pero no de tristeza, mas bien de lo bella que es hasta se me estremece el corazón. Me emociona mucho. Tanto que hasta estoy pensando en usar esta canción para pedirle matrimonio a mi novia. Simplemente es demasiado hermosa la canción.
