About
Paco Versailles is a duo consisting of songwriter/producer Ryan Merchant and Vahagni Aryan who is a world-class Spanish-trained flamenco guitarist and producer. Their sound is a mix of flamenco guitar rhythms with disco-leaning electronic production and captivating vocals, a style they call Dancemenco. The name 'Paco Versailles' was conceived while imagining a collaboration between their biggest influences, the legendary Spanish guitarist Paco De Lucia and French electronic artists Daft Punk and Air, both products of the Parisian suburb of Versailles. The duo has been enjoying recent success with sold out headline shows in cities such as Los Angeles, Mexico City, London, San Francisco, New York City, as well as becoming festival favorites at Austin City Limits, Outside Lands, Pal Norte, and more. Paco Versailles released their 3rd studio album, Olé Maca, on September 13, 2024 and is currently working on new music and tour dates.
