Guitarricadelafuente Puts the Oscar Buzz Aside to Remind Us He’s One Hell of a Pop Star at His Tour Finale: Review

Guitarricadelafuente closed his Spanish Leather World Tour with a sold-out show in Madrid, demonstrating that the rising attention around his film role has not eclipsed his music. The review presents him as a compelling pop star who brought together spectacle, intimate songwriting and political engagement.

The Movistar Arena stage evoked the album’s desert and Western imagery, with sand across the floor, golden cowboy boots and frequent costume changes. The set ranged from the crowd-pleasing “Full time papi” and playful “Poses” to acoustic favourites “Guantanamera” and “Mil y una noches”; he also dedicated “La Puerta del Sol” to people protesting Madrid’s housing crisis and performed “La Nieve”, which he co-wrote for the film La Bola Negra.
