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.
Pasa el Tiempo
Caloncho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y no regresa
No me quiero ir
Pero regresa
Así que disfruto de lo que me pasa hoy
Espero saber si me quedo o me voy
Con el mundo de antes
Cientos de horizontes vimos cambiar
De color al regresar el sol al mar
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Pasó el tiempo así
Y no recuerdas
Que era tan feliz, uh uh
Vamos, regresa
O por ti o por mí
In Caloncho's song "Pasa el Tiempo," the singer reflects on the passage of time and the fleeting nature of life. The lyrics speak of the desire to hold onto moments that have passed, and the realization that time cannot be stopped or reclaimed. The line "Pasa el tiempo aquí y no regresa" (Time passes here and does not return) highlights this theme of transience and impermanence.
The singer grapples with conflicting emotions about staying or leaving, asking whether he will know when it is time to do either. He finds solace in enjoying the present moment, despite the uncertainty of the future. The lyrics "Así que disfruto de lo que me pasa hoy/ Espero saber si me quedo o me voy/ Con el mundo de antes/ He venido a buscarte" (So I enjoy what happens to me today/ I hope to know if I stay or go/ With the world of before/ I have come to find you) convey this search for clarity and direction.

Pasa el tiempo aquí y no regresa,
No me quiero ir, pero regresa.
Así que disfruto de lo que me pasa hoy,
Espero saber si me quedo o me voy,
Con el mundo de antes he venido a buscarte.
Cientos de horizontes vimos cambiar,
De color al regresar el sol al mar.
Oooooh (2x)
Pasó el tiempo así, y no recuerdas que era tan feliz,
Vamos regresa, o por ti o por mi.

Hace una semana mi mejor amigo falleció, él y yo solíamos compartir música, entre algunas canciones me recomendó dos de Caloncho, Palmar y Chupetazos. Durante esta semana escuche esas dos canciones porque me recordaban a él, y seguí escuchando más canciones de Caloncho y me gustaron demasiado, me hacen sentir muy tranquila, además me hacen recordar a mi amigo, entre todas está en especial, porque quisiera estar con él, yo no me quiero ir aún, así que quisiera que él regresara y estuviera conmigo. Gracias por tu música Caloncho!
