For Spouthanging the 'sold out' sign in a large venue in our country is now a custom. And if he achieved it at the Palacio Vistalegre at the beginning of this year, he will welcome 2025 knowing that he has fulfilled the dream of also selling out in the WiZink Center in Madrid. It will be in May when he steps on the stage of the old Palacio de los Deportes and on a tour whose latest album gives him his name.
Triana is the title of the Madrid native's most recent studio album, which he dedicates entirely to his future daughter. Facing this new personal and professional stage, Cano has chatted with WECB Urban about this new milestone in his career, his future role as a father and his new challenges.
Question: Cano, first of all I want to congratulate you on that sold out at the WiZink Center, which must have been crazy for you. How did you receive the news?

A: I received the news here in my managers' office. We were all waiting for the tickets and we saw that, as it opened for sale at 9:00 p.m., there were 20,000 people in line. At that moment we said, 'it's practically sold now.' There weren't that many tickets for the people who were waiting. So we found out that quickly, at 3 minutes past 9 we already knew more or less that we were going to sell them.
Q: This is not the first time that you have posted a 'sold out' sign at an important venue here in Madrid because it already happened at the Palacio Vistalegre. What is going to be next? A Metropolitan?
A: Well hopefully, God willing. Let's see, for now… we will go with the WiZink and next year or the next… we will have to think a little too. I wish it were the Metropolitan. It would be much more exciting for me to sing there than at the Bernabéu, since the Metropolitano is my team and I would be very excited.
Q: What can you tell us about what we are going to expect from you on stage on this tour?
A: We are going to put on a very cool show. We are finalizing the details and from now on, we will close the entire show, the performance as we want to do it. And let's start rehearsing until the date arrives.
Q: Will there be any surprises?
A: Man, let's hope so. As for artists and all that, well, I always try to bring as much as possible, right? But at the end of the day each artist has their calendar, they have their things and sometimes they don't fit with our concerts, but hey, we'll do what we can.
Q: Trianayour new album, is the star of the tour. You dedicate it to your future daughter. What was the process of creating this album like for you?
A: It was an easy and difficult process at the same time, because I wanted to make an album dedicated to my future daughter, but I also didn't want it to be a boring album, because at the end of the day an entire album would have been very boring. So I tried to mix a little the message I wanted to give and with the music I usually make, more mainstream and such. And it has turned out very well, honestly. I can't complain at all about the album. There are songs that have made three songs in the Top 50 in Spain, so everything is, honestly, very good.
Q: Professionally, how do you face the arrival of your daughter?
A: Professionally, for now, in general I haven't noticed anything yet. I am a person who is very much in the present. I also worry about the future a little, but until I have her in my arms I wouldn't know how to explain it to you yet, but I think I'll handle it very well. After all, everyone has had children, so I can too.
Q: From that special album, which song are you going to play first for your daughter?
A: The one of My Trianathe intro, I would put.
Q: If you have shown something in your career and in your releases, it is that you have a lot of neighborhood feeling. You want to make it clear that you are proud of where you come from, but there is a trend among some artists to join this trend and make it mainstream. What do you think about this?
A: Well, at the end of the day you are almost answering the question. For me it has become a bit mainstream. Really yes, I mean, they are also, let's say, idealizing the neighborhood, poverty, being a bad guy, so to speak. Now everything has become a bit like fashion now. I have already separated myself a little from that bond, not as much as before. Now I kind of have another type of path, you know? But like you said, I'm proud of where I come from.
Q: Do you have any thoughts on what's coming next?
A: I'm making music, not so much that I don't get overwhelmed. I have things done, even some topics prepared. But I still don't know when I'll come back. Probably next year, but I couldn't tell you if in January, March or April. For now, I'm going to give oxygen to this album, which is coming out very well, and I'll see when I appear.
Q: What message do you think the future Cano would like to hear when he has his daughter in his arms?
A: A message of support, that I continue doing the same thing, that I be the same person that I am, that I continue working as a job, but with a person who depends on me and that whatever I achieve will be for her.
