Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso, the band formed by two Argentine musicians whose success has skyrocketed in the last year and a half, have decided to stop. The same day the release of his new album was scheduled Top of The Hillsthis December 19, the duo announced on their social networks that they needed to “rest and heal” and were postponing the release of the album and a future tour: “To our fans, we write with our hearts in our hands, to ask for forgiveness. We let ourselves be carried away by a level of exposure, pressure and success that we did not know how to handle, and we made wrong and hasty decisions. It took us a while to recognize it, but we need to rest and heal. Top of The Hills was born in a time of too much speed. Today we decided to stop, postpone the album and the tour until further notice. Thank you for being there even when we are lost. We hope to return when we are ready. Thank you”.
Catriel Guerreiro (Ca7riel, 30 years old) and Ulises Guerriero (Paco Amoroso, 31 years old) met when they were six years old at school and to this day they have not separated. Their musical careers were always connected, but it was not until 2024 when they released their first studio album together, Bain Marie. The presentation of that album in a jacuzzi on the stage of the Lollapalooza festival in his country became the beginning of a career that in less than two years has won five Latin Grammy Awards (in such relevant categories as Best Alternative Music Album and Best Pop Song). That night, they faced Bad Bunny, whom they tied in number of awards.
While the Argentines were collecting recognition, they were immersed in a tour of more than 60 concerts on four continents in stages that tripled the capacity of the small and medium-sized venues in which they began. On his first visit to Spain, the concert tickets flew. The Anthill y The Revoltthe two main programs and competitors on television’s nighttime slot, fought relentlessly to such an extent that Pablo Motos paid them for a round trip flight from Madrid to Buenos Aires to ensure their participation.
Nobody wanted to be left without the band that had given the viral surprise of 2024 with a performance of about 20 minutes in the Washington newsroom of the American public radio, NPR. Their presentation at Tiny Desk Concerts, which already has more than 46 million views, changed the careers of these two Argentine boys.
In that corner of the American public radio newsroom they presented their EP PATTERN which led to an international tour of the same name. His tour has included Coachella, Glastonbury, Roskilde, Fuji Rock, Outside Lands, Montreux and six editions of Lollapalooza. Performances with Kendrick Lamar on his Grand National Tour through Latin America and a Grammy nomination for Best Latin or Alternative Rock Album that they will know if they win in February 2026, in Los Angeles.
They define their style as “degenerate music”, a fusion of pop, Latin rhythms and avant-garde funk tinged with humor and daring. With lyrics loaded with humorous double plays, between impudence and the purely hedonistic with the power of a catchy piece of chewing gum.
The speed of the rocket of fame on which they climbed had led them to record their new album in just “two electrifying weeks,” as their record label Sony defined. Top of The Hills.
“We open with a song (PAPOTA) dedicated to the imposter syndrome, which haunts everyone a little bit. But us more, because everything has accelerated in our career. Suddenly everyone tells you that you are great, but we don’t lose sight of an idea: that at any moment everything can go to shit,” they explained in an interview, now it seems almost premonitory, in EL PAÍS.
