ABOUT Ronny decarlo & FONQue Nouveau

Ronny deCarlo is the moniker of Colombian/Dutch guitarist and producer Roenik Roa Espinosa, a forward-thinking artist moving freely through a lush musical patchwork of fusion, funk, hip-hop and electronica

With his brainchild Fonque Nouveau, Ronny fuses soulful and adventurous instrumental guitar with bombastic beats and retro-futurism: a fresh yet nostalgic sound, with echoes of cinema blockbusters and videogames

In 2023, Ronny won The Records, a competition by the Keep an Eye Foundation. The prize of E10.000,-, came with a challenge: a physical album release in 12 months. The result is FONQUE NOUVEAU (2024), a self-titled debut, mixed by Wiboud Burkens, mastered by Alex Geurink and released in TivoliVredenburg under ZenneZ Records

FONQUE NOUVEAU received raving reviews in among others Jazzism magazine, and earned a nomination for an Edison Award in ‘Newcomer Jazz’ category

Ronny’s upcoming opus “FONQUE NOUVEAU II” is in the works and set to be released in late 2026
