LISTENING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES 🇺🇸

A rapper's latest gig: Spanish

pop star

London

His winding path to fame leads to a musical style more rumba than rap

by Alex Marshall

C. Tangana, one of Spain's biggest rap stars, two years ago hit "a little bit of a crisis".
He was riding a wave of fame known for provocative songs and equally provocative interviews. But he was fast approaching his 30s, he said in a recent Zoom interview, and risked becoming one of those "cringe-y embarrassing" rappers who act a decade younger than they are.

So C. Tangana - real name Antón Álvarez Alfaro - did a U-turn and decided to try his hand at other styles of music that he had loved since childhood like flamenco and rumba.

    @silvia Oh I see 🙂... I try to target each individual's needs. Most of my exercises require that you listen, repeat, record yourself, get my feedback, try again until you make progress in the sounds you need to master. I use different techniques for speakers of dfferent languages🙂.
