El Madrileño

El Madrileño (English: The Madrilenian) is the second studio album by Spanish rapper and singer-songwriter C. Tangana. Written by Tangana and co-produced with Alizzz, the album was released through Sony Music on February 26, 2021. With this record, Tangana ventured into a more organic and guitar oriented sound to his previous hip hop and urban releases, focusing in a collaboration album as a tribute to his wide roots. Twelve out of fourteen tracks are in collaboration with other renowned Latin folk, rock or flamenco artists from many countries and ages. The result is a colored mosaic of Tangana's teenage influences and the adoption of a new alter ego named after the album.

The record became a commercial success, debuting atop the Spanish Charts and peaking at eight on the US Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. It was the best selling album in Spain of 2021. Promotion prior to its release encompassed the release of three singles: "Demasiadas Mujeres", "Tú Me Dejaste de Querer"—both accompanied by music videos produced by Little Spain—and "Comerte Entera". The lead single topped the charts in Spain as the third one reached the top ten. "Tú Me Dejaste de Querer" quickly managed to become Tangana's best performing single, debuting at number one in Spain and entering the charts in Argentina and the Billboard Global 200. Despite not receiving radio promotion, "Ingobernable", featuring the Gipsy Kings, debuted at number one on the PROMUSICAE weekly list. A reissue, La Sobremesa, featuring late singles like "Ateo" as well as the recording of Tangana's NPR Tiny Desk concert, was released on February 18, 2022.

With El Madrileño, C. Tangana scored his first Latin Grammy nominations as a performer. He had previously received four awards for his contributions as a co-writer on El Mal Querer, the sophomore album by Rosalía, and for her song "Malamente", which he also co-wrote. El Madrileño was nominated for Album of the Year and won Best Engineered Album while the Omar Apollo duet "Te Olvidaste" was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Alternative Song. "Nominao", featuring Jorge Drexler, won the latter category while "Hong Kong", featuring Andrés Calamaro, was awarded Best Pop/Rock Song. Longtime friend and musical collaborator of Tangana, Alizzz, scored a Producer of the Year nomination.
