Spanish Leather CD edition

CD Edition.

The dialogue between the avant-garde and tradition, the push and pull between the familiar and the unknown… All the elements that make Guitarricadelafuente one of the most captivating voices of his generation are present in Spanish Leather, his second album, which consolidates the style that has propelled him and drives him into the future.

In Spanish Leather, Álvaro delves into the raw and earthy textures of Spanish and Latin American folk, now with a more pronounced focus, with a deliberate tension that unfolds musically, poetically, and stylistically. It is a personal journey of reinvention, in which he explores the interaction of the central elements of Spanish musical heritage and blends them with essences of contemporary pop and the raw, lived experiences of an ordinary young man. The result is a new narrative of modern folklore.

The album brings together a diverse group of producers, from Carter Lang (SZA and Doja Cat) to pablopablo (C Tangana) or Raül Refree (Rosalía). The project also features Jasper Harris (Jack Harlow, Lil Nas X, Camila Cabello); Brad Oberhofer (Netflix's The Andy Warhol Diaries) and Rodaidh McDonald (The xx, Adele, and Sampha). Emerging voices such as the Barcelona duo Ciutat, Tristán, and Teo Planell complete a team that reflects the spirit of the album: with deep roots and a creative vision projected towards what's next.
