Francisco, el Hombre is a Brazilian rock, Mexican, Brazilian and Latin American music band formed in 2013 by Mexican-born Brazilian[1] brothers Sebastián and Mateo Piracés-Ugarte in the city of Campinas, São Paulo.[2][3][4]

With three other Brazilian-born members,[5] the group mixes musical elements from both countries and others from Latin America, based on continental trips by the brothers, resulting in music sung in Spanish, Portuguese and English. They are self-defined as a "pachanga folk" band.[2][4][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Rolling Stone Brasil [pt] described them as a mixture of Manu Chao and Nação Zumbi.[3]

Their initial Latin American tours were self-financed, improvised and ofter started with very few shows previously scheduled. They would always find opportunities to play in streets, squares, hostels, bars and birthday parties.[1][13]

Their 2017 song "Triste, Louca ou Má" (Sad, Crazy or Bad) was nominated for the 2017 Latin Grammy award for Best Portuguese Language Song.[13]
