El de La Guitarra
Lo Prometido Es Deuda, Vol. 3
Album · Regional Mexican · 2020
The mask is officially off for El de La Guitarra. Notorious for hiding his face online behind a purple devil emoji and offline with a Zorro-reminiscent disguise, the Regional Mexican talent revealed himself at last on social media just ahead of this third volume in his essential Lo Prometido Es Deuda series. He brings a rockero flair to the standout “Que Me Va Mal” and tempers the thematic high-speed intensity of “Botas Ariat” with balladic subtlety. His natural songcraft and dextrous flourishes make the riveting narratives of tracks like “Mil 996” and “La Noche Anterior” all the more gripping to listen to.
