Yann Ryo, aka Nixtamal is a French producer born in St Nazaire.
The sound of Nixtamal weaves a connection between Tropical music, Dub and Electro.
After traveling through Mexico and South America, he caught the cumbia virus and started the Nixtamal project in 2008. He releases his first EP on the Argentine label CABEZA! in 2010.
After working on numerous original productions, he began his musical career with the Barcelona label Folcore Records.
This association gave birth to three other releases: Perezoso (2015) still in its most tropical expression, Lucía (2016) much more focused on dub and bass music and Orishas (2018) this time experimenting with more African flavors to spice up their melodies. without neglecting the French dub and the Latin American influence.

Live, Nixtamal is accompanied by the frenetic percussion of Nicolas Foucher and the hypnotic images of Emmanuel Stang (VJ Octopus)
