Diego R. Cruz, half-indigenous Colombian guitarist and musician, residing in Europe. Started his musical career with the AnimA in Bogot\u00e1, a band that had the honor to open the second underground metal concert in Colombia with Moonspell. In 1999 he founded Misticia, his current band, a pioneer in the fusion of folklore and indigenous metal, combining native, Spanish and English lyrics. He had the opportunity to work with metal producers such as Daniel Bergstrand, Jaime G\u00f3mez Arellano, Andy Classen, etc. Misticia was the first Colombian metal band recorded in Germany, and for the first time played in remote countries, such as Morocco in Africa. Diego has worked on more than 20 albums as a guitarist, composer, singer and producer. On the XVA album tour in 2019 he visited three different continents: in his native Colombia they played with Venom Inc, in Europe he accompanied the Argentine band A.N.I.M.A.L on their way through Spain and was for the first time to play in Africa.
