Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso are an Argentine experimental trap, hip-hop, electronic dance music, and pop duo formed in Buenos Aires, consisting of Catriel Guerreiro and Ulises Guerriero, who are known individually as Ca7riel [es] and Paco Amoroso [es].
The duo is known for their distinctive and eccentric style in both their music and lyrics. Their live performances often feature live instruments and a mix of genres, including Latin pop, fusion jazz, house rock, and various types of electronic music like electronic dance music. They have been awarded with a Grammy Award and five Latin Grammy Awards.
History Catriel Guerreiro and Ulises Guerriero are both originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Catriel Guerreiro studied at the Juan Pedro Esnaola School of Music. Ulises Guerriero studied violin beginning at age six. The two artists met when they were just 6 years old, and first began collaborating musically in 2010.
As their sound began to evolve, they blended experimental and alternative sounds with Latin trap, and they are considered part of the first wave of urban music that emerged in Argentina. Both artists have individually recorded music sessions with the renowned Argentine producer Bizarrap, and both have collaborated with many other artists of their generation, such as Lali, Tini, and Duki, among others. In October 2024, the duo performed at the Tiny Desk Concerts, which went viral and helped them gain global recognition.
The runaway success of their Tiny Desk Concert formed the thematic material of their subsequent EP, Papota, which was released in March 2025 along with an accompanying short film featuring all four of the new songs on the EP. All of the recordings from Tiny Desk are also included. At the 26th Annual Latin Grammys later in the year, the duo was nominated for 10 awards, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. They left with 5 award wins, for Best Pop Song, Best Alternative Music Album, Best Alternative Song, Best Short Form Music Video, and Best Long Form Music Video. Additionally, their producers, Rafa Arcaute and Federico Vindver, were awarded Producer of the Year for their work on Papotas four new songs.
In support of Papota, the duo embarked on an ambitious 60-date world tour, with stops in not only Latin America, but also Europe, Asia, and North America. They also performed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, becoming only the second Argentine musical act to ever do so, and appeared at the popular and prestigious annual music festival Coachella. Additionally, in 2025, they were announced as the opening act for the five Latin American concerts in American rapper Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour.
Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso played at the Baloise Session in 2025.
In 2025, Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso announced a new LP, titled Top of the Hills. However, only a few weeks later in late December 2025, they shared on social media that they had made the decision to postpone their new album due to exhaustion from constant touring. The album will now be released sometime in early 2026.
In February 2026, a video appeared in their social media profiles featuring Sting, where he talks about how he took them under his wing and how Top of the Hills was cancelled because they suffered a "swift and sudden breakdown." This video is a presentation for their new studio album, Free Spirits, named after Sting's fictional wellness center in the video. With the release of this video, the release date of the album was revealed, and it will be released on March 19, 2026. Six days later, a collaborative song between Ca7riel y Paco Amoroso and Sting was released, named HASTA JESÚS TUVO UN MAL DÍA.
