“It's getting out of hand.

I have to cut off the collaborations now because I'm never going to finish the album, "C. Tangana commented to this newspaper a few weeks ago when he lent himself to speak in a report about his producer, Alizzz.

Today all the guests have made themselves known to the album

El madrileño,

his new work, which is released on February 26.

And it's a long and eclectic list.

• C. Tangana launches 'Eat you whole', the confirmation that nothing will be the same again

Some of the participants: Andrés Calamaro, Kiko Veneno, Jorge Drexler, José Feliciano, the Gipsy Kings, Eliades Ochoa ... And those who have already collaborated on the songs that he has been advancing and that will be included in the album: La Húngara and El Niño de Elche

(You stopped loving me)

and Toquinho

(Eat you whole)

.

Also on the album are two other songs that already saw the light during 2020:

I'm never

and

Too many women.

This means that of the 14 songs of

El madrileño,

four have already been published.

With this alignment C. Tangana draws up a plan in which he plays many suits.

It recruits, for example, unquestionable legends of Spanish music such as Kiko Veneno and respected seasoned musicians such as Andrés Calamaro or Jorge Drexler.

The quota of new talents is covered by the Mexican Ed Maverick (20 years old) or the American (of Mexican parents) Omar Apollo (22 years old).

Rescue veterans of Latin American music such as the Cuban Eliades Ochoa (74 years old), the Puerto Rican José Feliciano (75 years old) and the one already confirmed a week ago Toquinho (Brazil, 74 years old).

The racial touch is provided by the Gipsy Kings, surely the group that has done the most to universalize flamenco rumba.

Another attraction, in case one is missing, is listening to José Feliciano with El Niño de Elche (who makes a double) in the song

Un veneno.

The Madrilenian

is

perhaps the most anticipated album of Spanish pop in 2021. Both the repercussion of the songs already published (especially

You stopped loving me,

the most listened to in Spain in the last weeks of 2020) and the media exposure of C. Tangana, with Covers in magazines like ICON, have created a great expectation around his figure.
