Tonino Carotone is a Spanish singer and songwriter known for his playful, genre-blending sound that pulls from Italian canzone, Latin music, punk, and ska. Born Antonio de la Cuesta in Burgos, Spain, he adopted his stage name as a tribute to the classic era of Italian music and crooners like Renato Carosone. With his instantly recognizable gravelly voice and flamboyant style, Tonino became a cult favorite across Europe, especially after the release of his hit single "Me cago en el amor" in the early 2000s.
Carotone’s music is infused with humor, romance, and a passionate bohemian spirit, often sung in a mix of Spanish and Italian. Over the years, he has built a solid reputation as a dynamic live performer and has collaborated with artists across various musical backgrounds. His discography—including albums like Mondo DiVino and tribute projects such as Whisky Facile—celebrates both nostalgia and rebellion, making him a unique figure in the international music scene.
