An expansive debut that imagines the future based on folklore.

Guitarricadelafuente…Many elements of Álvaro Lafuente's work hark back to his roots, beginning with the diminutive of his stage name, which comes from his grandparents' Aragonese village. Or that inseparable acoustic guitar that also gave him his name. That's why the sophistication he embraces acquires in his music a special dimension: fascinating and seductive. The Guitarrica of today is honed through extreme originality, the same that makes him one of the most promising artists of the new decade.

It premieres in 2022 The quarry, his debut album. With songs that no longer come directly from the six strings, but undergo a careful creative process and are reinvented in the studio. It's a new GuitarricadelafuenteBut it's the same. The one with that very personal style that made him explode from the very humble beginnings of home. The conticinium (2018), now without hesitation to flirt with electronic and urban sounds.

The album starts with One Thousand and One NightsA statement of intent where its roots intersect with a pop-urban aesthetic and subtle electronica. It is followed by the atmospheric Amanitawhich confirms the new sonic direction. The album progresses, revealing its two sides: exploration, with the heartbeat of Little horse and the dance impulse of Who turned on the light?; and the root one, where they shine My mom used to say and the delicate Candy flowerTowards the end, Sea life paves the way for closure with To the letter, an intimate and confessional epilogue.
