One of the most interesting candidatures of this edition of the Benidorm Fest is that of Almacor.

This 2023, in addition, Your project has gained a greater dimension with the launch of an EP, Melancholiaa work where he collects themes that one hundred percent represent his style.
Almacor, however, is the type of artist who doesn’t like to pigeonhole himself and tries to get out of his comfort zone whenever he can to bring other sounds to his project. The proof of this is found in Pop Tech, his most recent single. On this occasion, the composer has also opted for electronic pop, also maintaining his distinctive urban style.

As artists gain ground in the music scene, their circle of influences grows. Almacor, without going any further, has very important collaborations on its resume, but it has a pending relationship with an urban star with whom it maintains a beautiful friendship: Trueno himself. “I respect him and value him a lot. God will tell if there is a collaboration. You don’t have to force things,” he said in an interview with WECB Urban. “I have gotten along very well with him for many years. I met him at a free style event that he did. He had a song with a friend of mine called Neelo and that’s where we met. “Afterwards we became colleagues.”
