About Carlos Falanga

Falanga’s artist Bandcamp identifies him as a Barcelona-based jazz drummer and experimental electronic musician. Jazz Terrassa traces his move from Buenos Aires to Barcelona at age twenty-two, followed by studies at Taller de Músics and ESMUC and work in the Catalan scene from 2002.[1][2]

Es Claustre documents Falanga’s trio activity and a weekly 23 Robadors jam shared with Miguel Villar and Juan Pablo Balcázar since 2010. The same profile separates this acoustic small-group work from his electronic project IHHH rather than treating both as one ensemble.[3]

Falanga’s leader catalog includes Gran Coral, released by UnderPool in 2015, and Quasar, released by Fresh Sound Records in 2023. The label pages provide complete audio, composition credits, personnel, and recording details; Quasar credits all twelve compositions to Falanga.[4][5]

Gran Coral

Falanga’s 2015 leader debut features Jordi Matas, Marco Mezquida, and Jaume Llombart on ten compositions and arrangements.[4]

Quasar

The 2023 Fresh Sound release expands his leader work to a sextet with twelve Falanga compositions.[5]

23 Robadors

Es Claustre documents Falanga’s long-running weekly Barcelona jam with Miguel Villar and Juan Pablo Balcázar.[3]
