El de La Guitarra is a singer/songwriter from Mexicali, known for his masked performances. Born in 1997, he gained recognition in 2016 when a friend uploaded one of his songs to YouTube, giving him the name "El de La Guitarra" (translated as "the one with the guitar"). A prominent figure in the corridos verdes movement, he embraces themes of a 420 lifestyle and cartel culture in his music, as seen in tracks like "El Monstro 7" from his album <I>Lo Prometido Es Deuda, Vol. 2</I> (2018). Despite his focus on narcos, his songs often highlight the more enjoyable aspects of the lifestyle, such as in the upbeat track "A Lo Lejos Me Veran" released in 2018.
