  • Bio

    Paul Baker Hernandez: Made guitar he still plays from monastic garbage (table leg, toilet seat (retired!)) while hermit/silent Trappist monk. Set out to be Bob Dylan II (but quieter). Tours UK/Europe/the Americas regularly. Lives in shanty town of Managua, Nicaragua. Coordinates Echoes of Silence, artists/activists, 'with broken fingernails' as workers not stars. Working with programs to slow global warming, make fresh water available to all, reforest the deserts of northern Nicaragua. He also works the Victor Jara Cultural Movement, and writes rude songs about dictators, Starbucks and cellphones.. 'Hernandez' honours Fatima, Paul's compañera, and all women - most of the world's people yet deliberately under-represented where political/economic change could and should happen.
