Guitarricadelafuente

Guitarricadelafuente – his stage name— is a playful fusion of his surname, Lafuente, and the Aragonese diminutive for guitar, guitarrica—first gained attention with “El Conticinio,” a song recorded in 2018 using only a PlayStation microphone in his bedroom.

His songs—modern postcards from a dreamy past—reinterpret Spanish folk traditions into textured indie-pop landscapes, carried by lo-fi tones and flamenco whispers. In 2019, early hits like “Guantanamera” and “Nana Triste” (with Natalia Lacunza) drew 59 and 70 million streams respectively, laying the foundation for his acclaimed 2022 debut album, La Cantera. His second album, Spanish Leather (2025)—with a cover shot by Wolfgang Tillmans—remains rooted in the same DNA but marks a bold evolution in both sound and visual language, confirming the growth of an artist unafraid to explore himself.
