El Kanka is back: this is what his new single 'La Calma' sounds like

In a fast-paced world, with the rush imposed by modern society, Kanka appeals to 'La Calma' (The Calm). The singer-songwriter from Malaga releases the first single from his upcoming album, a track filled with emotion that anticipates a mature album, sung and told from the experience of the craft and life. The complete new work, his seventh career album, will hit the streets in early 2026.

'La Calma' is the title of the song that premieres today and will also be the title of the album. In the words of the artist himself, it is a claim in the form of a wish: "hopefully a different world." The chorus longs over and over for something that, according to the artist, we are underestimating these days, that feeling of tranquility. A song that moves and excites from the first listen.

It has been more than 15 years since El Kanka has been on stage. A career of slow but steady steps that has elevated him as one of the most outstanding singer-songwriters of his generation. An artist with his own signature, completely distant from purely commercial music, yet touches the mainstream with his approachable nature, the wit of his lyrics, always ironic and optimistic, and melodies that connect instantly.

Since he burst onto the scene with that now emblematic slogan, 'Lo mal que estoy y lo poco que me quejo' (How bad I am and how little I complain), El Kanka has been conquering increasingly larger stages and new countries across the ocean. A professional and emotional journey that is reflected in his songs, which combine Latin American folklore with pop, rumba, or the chirigotas of Cadiz.

'La Calma', now available on all digital platforms, is accompanied by a music video produced by TFP Studios with direction and stop motion by Tomas Widmann, characters and settings by María Diaz, and editing by Tomas Widmann and Radon MG. To hear it live before the end of the year, there will be four opportunities: November 26 and 27 at The Music Station in Madrid; December 19 at Santana 27 in Bilbao; and December 20 at Sala Tótem in Villaba (Navarra).
