Straddling the line between the exploratory nature of club culture and the poetics of sound design, Uruguayan artist and DJ Lechuga Zafiro, seeks to express the nuances of Latin American experience through his music.

His two EPs, 2015’s Aequs Nyama (Salviatek) and 2018’s Testigo (NAAFI), garnered support from Pitchfork, The Guardian, Resident Advisor, FACT Magazine , Björk, Kode 9 and more. Since then, Zafiro has collaborated with Matmos and Linn da Quebrada, and has remixed for artists on SVBKVLT and TraTraTrax. He has extensively worked in the area of field recording and sound design, working for Splice, Mubert and artist Catarina Miranda to create sample packs and soundtracks based on his own recordings of objects, animals and natural soundscapes.

Zafiro is a skillful DJ with a playful disregard for genre consistency. He’s made mixes for platforms like NTS, Mutek, i-D and Noisey, has toured as a DJ throughout Asia, Europe, South and North America and has played in festivals like Sonar, Unsound, Primavera Sound.

Lechuga is currently hosting a radio show in NTS 1 focused on Latin American dance music and field recording experiments.
