Behind the character of Espantajos is the Swiss-Costa Rican musician Humberto Rojas.
He has created a rock sound with a style all his own, incorporating elements of modern Western music, making the songs seem to tell a story and conjure up images of places that come to life every time the musical notes flow.
These are lyrics that can be pondered, analyzed, and reinterpreted from many different perspectives.
The idea of breaking away from the mold of classic—and sometimes overused—rock to present something new with Western elements is what defines Espantajos’s artistic vision.
