Guitarricadelafuente is a musician suspended between worlds. Raised in the early 2000s between the quiet coastal town of Benicàssim and his grandmother’s village, Las Cuevas de Cañart, he grew up surrounded by the fading echoes of rural folk and flamenco—traditions he absorbed while gradually discovering life beyond the margins of Spain. From this upbringing, he shaped a voice that resonates with the emotional limbo of a generation caught between genuine longing and digital overload.

His stage name - 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. Lo-fi and unfiltered, it carried a rawness that resonated deeply, setting the tone for his rise in Spain’s music scene. Fast forward to2025 -many singles and two albums later - that same humble recording was chosen for an Apple commercial directed by Spike Jonze and starring Pedro Pascal, further cementing his global exposure. More than a full-circle moment, it captured the essence of his story: how a rare blend of vulnerability and authenticity can carry a singular vision from the most intimate spaces to the world stage.

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.
