Picadillo is a latin alternative music group that fuses vintage cuban music, guaracha and son with rock, blues and New Orleans elements. The band was formed in Madrid by Cuban musicians Hector Aguero Lauten, Rey Rodriguez, Jose Gonzalez and Sol Ruiz. Their first album "Las Cosas de la Vida" led them to sign with Warner Chappell Publishing and performing internationally in Cuba, USA, Canada and Europe. 

The bands two lead singers Sol and Rey mention Dr. John, Benny Moré and Billie Holiday as their influences. Rey was born in Cuba, while Sol, born in Miami to Cuban parents lived in New Orleans for several years. 

The name pronounced "peeka-deeyo" was inspired by a Latin American dish that mixes many flavourful ingredients, which represents the way they blend different styles of music. 

Currently, Picadillo is recording their sophomore album, to be released summer of 2016 entitled, "El Manicomio", featuring rare traditional intruments such as, tres, marimbula and organo oriental.
