Álvaro Lafuente Calvo (born 27 August 1997), better known by his stage name Guitarricadelafuente, is a Spanish singer-songwriter, guitarist and musician based in Barcelona. Lafuente started posting covers on different social media platforms like Instagram in 2017 while being unsigned. Those covers attracted a modest number of people at first thanks to their mix of indie folk, rumba, and flamenco music. In April 2018 he released his first original song titled "El Conticinio" which he recorded at home with a PlayStation microphone. Lafuente continued posting original songs and started a little tour through selected cities in Spain. In June 2019 he collaborated with Operación Triunfo contestant and friend Natalia Lacunza on her debut single "Nana Triste" which peaked at number 4 on the PROMUSICAE chart. After the single's critical and commercial success, Lafuente continued releasing singles independently.
