Guitarricadelafuente Makes U.S. Television Debut on *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*

Spanish singer-songwriter Guitarricadelafuente appeared as a musical guest on the American late-night program, performing a dreamy rendition of “BABIECA!” from his 2025 album *Spanish Leather*. The set began with the artist playing a hurdy-gurdy (zanfona) before additional band members joined, shifting the arrangement from a hypnotic intro to an upbeat, club-inspired conclusion. Guest host Colman Domingo introduced the performance.

In discussing *Spanish Leather*, Guitarricadelafuente explained that he aimed to make the songs feel contemporary and rooted in everyday observations, while preserving a distinctly Spanish character. He spent several weeks in New York and Los Angeles working with producer Carter Lang, blending traditional folk elements with modern production. The track “BABIECA!” draws lyrical inspiration from the nightclub where his parents first met, framing the song around themes of desire and intense love.

Earlier in the year, the artist expanded his profile by acting in *La Bola Negra*, a war epic directed by the Spanish duo Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi (Los Javis). The film, which interweaves stories from 1932, 1937, and 2017, earned the Best Director prize at the Cannes Film Festival and is slated for a theatrical release later this year.
