It’s been a swift rise for Spanish guitarist and singer-songwriter Guitarricadelafuente. The artist, real name Álvaro Lafuente Calvo, started posting cover songs on social media in 2017. A year later, he released “El Conticinio”, a subdued track that he recorded at home on a gaming console microphone. His subsequent, guitar-led duet “nana triste” with Natalia Lacunza laid the foundation for critical success. Since then, atmospheric belters like 2022’s slow-building “Mil y una noches” highlight how his delicate voice, seductive lyrics and soulful style have matured.
