The dialogue between the avant-garde and tradition, the tension between the familiar and the unknown… Everything that makes Guitarricadelafuente one of the most fascinating voices of his generation is present in Spanish Leather, his second album. A work that consolidates the style that brought him recognition and propels him toward the future.
In Spanish Leather, Álvaro explores the raw and earthy textures of Spanish and Latin American folk with a renewed approach and a deliberate tension that unfolds musically, poetically, and stylistically. It is a personal journey of reinvention, where the essential elements of the Iberian musical heritage intertwine with the essence of contemporary popular music and the experiences of a young person of his time. The result is a narrative of modern folklore.
The record brings together a diverse team of producers: from Carter Lang (SZA, Doja Cat) to pablopablo (C. Tangana) and Raül Refree (Rosalía). Also involved are Jasper Harris (Jack Harlow, Lil Nas X, Camila Cabello), Brad Oberhofer(The Andy Warhol Diaries, Netflix) and Rodaidh McDonald (The xx, Adele, Sampha). Emerging voices such as the Barcelona duo Ciutat, Tristán and Teo Planell complete a project with rooted spirit and forward-looking vision.
