Don’t say success, say C. Tangana. The artist has found the exact formula to turn everything he touches into gold and this is demonstrated by the reception his latest album has had. ‘El Madrileño’ has managed to place itself in the top 1 of Spotify Spain, being the album and song (‘Ingobernable’) most listened to in the first week since its launch on February 26. As the country gets caught up in those flamenco guitars, the duende of their songs, the quality of their collaborations and those catchy rhythms, their popularity is skyrocketing. And he savors it.
We are not exaggerating if we say that currently the Spanish benchmark in the urban genre. Something that he has achieved with work and making music that the more than nine million monthly listeners that he has (only) on Spotify like. The explicitness of his lyrics has always been one of his hallmarks. Parallel to her career, C. Tangana has been developing her own style when it comes to dressing that has given her a recognizable aesthetic. Gold chains and pendants, classic shoes or cotton shirts are a staple in your wardrobe. Behind each look there is a meaning that we seek to know from the hand of Jesus Reyes, fashion journalist and CEO of CoolHunting Madrid Communication; press agency specialized in design and beauty.
Reyes makes a good summary of the master lines that mark the Madrid artist’s wardrobe: «The style of C. Tangana is marked by an aesthetic with a lot of tints and nods to Spain Caní: the aesthetics of a patriarchal man, hair on chest and, apparently, traditional ». Something that perhaps many did not know is that this responds to a widespread trend: «This aesthetic is actually current and very much in trend in certain nuclei of insiders in the Madrid capital since 2017. It began to become fashionable from that time on in venues like Sala Cocó or other ‘trash’ venues where reggaeton and trap are the common thread of that society ”, he says.

To create an ‘outfit’, C. Tangana uses the inspiration of some of the most prestigious designers, mixed with the occasional nod to Spanish fashion: «This style that the artist defends has come to stay and is endorsed by firms luxury brands such as Gucci, Fendi, D&G and some nations such as Palomo Spain, María Escoté and Ana Locking, among others ». It is a style where straight cut and pleated trousers to match blazers and cotton tank tops are a ‘must have’. Also the jackets with sports pants or tracksuit. XXL jewels in solid gold and Castilian shoes with string socks usually complete the look, ”says Jesús Reyes.
The interpreter of ‘You stopped loving me’ does not leave anyone indifferent with a style that, like it or not, is well valued and this is made clear by the CEO of CoolHuntingMadrid: «An aesthetic that C. Tangana not only shines in everyone of his video clips, also in his public outings and that, personally, seem like a success to me. His image and his art represent 100% the culture and lifestyle of the generation Z, who idolize the retro fashion of the 80s, 90s and 2000s ».
