El madrileño

El madrileño is a 2021 album by C. Tangana that blends pop, alternative folk, art pop and alternative R&B through a Spanish-language lens. The record moves away from his earlier urban trap sound toward acoustic and folkloric textures, pairing guitar-based arrangements and flamenco or rumba-inflected rhythms with brass, organic percussion and contemporary production touches. Vocally it alternates intimate singer-songwriter lines and more rhythmic deliveries, and the songwriting engages with Spanish and Latin American musical traditions while pushing at genre boundaries. The album represents a stylistic reinvention that foregrounds roots-influenced instrumentation and cross-genre collaboration.
