Guille Toledano conoce bien los bares. De pequeño, su padre lo llevaba a La Perla, el restaurante de su familia en Guadalajara. Años después, trabajó ahí durante seis años y asumió responsabilidades dentro del lugar. Por eso, cuando llegó el momento de imaginar un universo para su álbum debut, la idea de una taberna apareció de forma natural.
EL TOLEDANO es ese bar ficticio. Un espacio donde se encuentran el pasado de Guille en la hostelería, su presente como artista y el futuro que espera construir con la música. En lugar de un menú, ofrece canciones: historias personales que pueden escucharse como quien se sienta a la mesa y deja que la conversación avance.
La imagen reúne etapas que, durante un tiempo, parecían ir en direcciones distintas. Guille quería dedicarse a la música desde niño, pero también era consciente de lo difícil que podía ser. La cocina se convirtió en su primer camino profesional; la música, en el sueño que no desapareció. “El Guille pequeño quería dedicarse a la música, pero no se atrevía”, cuenta. “Ahora estoy consiguiéndolo y estoy súper feliz”.
El paso de una vocación a otra también dejó algo en su forma de trabajar: la autoexigencia. Guille reconoce que sigue presente en la música esa manera de tomarse en serio aquello que le importa, una actitud que ya tenía en la cocina. Y aunque el concepto del álbum conecta ambas etapas, las canciones no fueron escritas siguiendo una cronología. Cada sesión funcionaba como una terapia: algunos días hablaba de lo que sentía en ese momento; otros, de una historia pasada.
“Son historias que no tienen un orden cronológico en mi vida”, explica. “Un día me apetecía hablar de cómo estaba y otro día hablábamos del pasado”. Al reunirlas, apareció un hilo común: su propia experiencia, con sus afectos, recuerdos y vínculos familiares.
Entre esas canciones está ‘Mil Mariposas’, una composición que nace de una experiencia difícil que atravesó su madre. Con ella, Guille reflexiona sobre la importancia de acompañar a quienes atraviesan momentos de vulnerabilidad y sobre cómo, incluso en las circunstancias más complejas, hay algo de la esencia y la belleza de las personas que permanece intacto. El resultado fue una canción que, dice, le ha permitido conectar con muchas personas.
En ‘Ya no me avisas’, uno de los adelantos del disco, la emoción toma otra forma. La canción puede parecer luminosa en una primera escucha, aunque su historia habla de dos personas que ya no están en el mismo punto: una sigue detenida en el pasado mientras la otra ha conseguido avanzar. Para Guille, el reto estaba en encontrar la manera de llevar esa contradicción al papel y a la música.
No todas sus canciones se detienen en ese tipo de melancolía. ‘Ven y báilame’ es su tema más desenfadado y el que más ganas tiene de cantar durante la gira. Esa convivencia de emociones también forma parte de EL TOLEDANO: un espacio donde caben distintos momentos de una vida, sin necesidad de acomodarlos en una sola historia.
Tras participar en Operación Triunfo, Guille empezó a vivir la posibilidad de dedicarse a la música como algo concreto. Supo que quería intentarlo cuando recibió la noticia de que entraría al programa. Lo sintió como una oportunidad que debía aprovechar y a la que quería aferrarse. Ahora, con un álbum debut en camino, hay algo más que desea demostrar: que puede componer sus propias canciones desde cero.
“Quiero que la gente pueda darse cuenta de que sé componer”, dice. Es una certeza que también fue cambiando para él. Al escribir el álbum descubrió que era más fuerte de lo que pensaba. Y el sueño de hacer un disco, que durante un tiempo le había parecido una utopía, hoy ya tiene forma, portada y canciones.
Cuando le preguntan qué imagen resume este momento, Guille piensa en la portada del álbum. La sesión se hizo en un bar de Madrid, una escena que enlaza con el lugar imaginario que creó y con los recuerdos que lo llevaron hasta ahí. En ese espacio, el pasado no queda atrás: se sienta a la mesa con el presente.
Lo que espera de quienes escuchen EL TOLEDANO es sencillo: que alguna canción les guste, que encuentren algo propio en ella y quieran seguir escuchando. Para Guille, la música sirve para conectar con otras personas y seguir contando su historia. Por ahora, su sueño de niño ya no parece una utopía. Está ocurriendo, canción a canción.
El álbum ya lo puedes encontrar en todas las plataformas digitales:

En el marco de la “semana Charly García“, y en el día en que el músico celebra sus 75 años, Netflix anunció la producción de un documental sobre una de las figuras más emblemáticas e influyentes de la historia del rock argentino. Compositor, músico y referente indiscutido de la cultura nacional, Charly marcó un antes y un después en la música argentina con una trayectoria que atraviesa generaciones y una obra que trascendió los escenarios hasta convertirse en parte de la identidad del país. El proyecto repasará su historia y explorará el impacto de un artista que, a lo largo de las décadas, dejó una huella imborrable.
El documental está dirigido por Alejandro Hartmann y producido por Haddock Films. En palabras de Vanessa Ragone, productora y directora de Haddock Films: “Este documental es un orgullo, una responsabilidad inmensa, y ante todo mucha felicidad. Producir un documental sobre la figura que considero más icónica de la música nacional, cuya obra ha sido y es la banda sonora de mi vida, es una oportunidad extraordinaria que nos ofrece la confianza que Charly y Netflix han depositado en nosotros”.
Por su parte, Alejandro Hartmann, agrega: “Desde chico Charly y su música son parte de mi vida. Retratarlo es el desafío más alucinante que puedo imaginar. La música de Charly se oye una y otra vez; incluso suena sola en la cabeza, sin necesidad de oírla. Solo los verdaderos clásicos pueden lograr eso. El desafío de contarlo a él y a su obra es un sueño hecho realidad”.
The post Charly García cumple 75 años y anuncia un documental autobiográfico appeared first on Rolling Stone en Español.
El relato de Jonás, tragado por un gran pez y encerrado durante tres días en su vientre, es uno de los pasajes más enigmáticos de la Biblia. La imagen reaparece, siglos después, en Monstruo, la ballena de Pinocho, que se traga a Geppetto y a su hijo, padre y niño reunidos en el interior de una criatura inmensa. Moby Dick convierte la persecución de una ballena en una obsesión que conduce a los hombres hacia el abismo. En todas estas historias, el animal parece abrir una puerta hacia la muerte; estar tan cerca de ella también puede devolvernos, con una fuerza inesperada, el deseo de vivir. Esa es la médula de Whalefall.
Jay Gardiner (Austin Abrams), un joven buzo, desciende al océano frente a la costa de California en busca de los restos de su padre, Mitt (Josh Brolin), quien murió allí un año antes. Un cachalote lo engulle y, con el oxígeno de su tanque a punto de agotarse, Jay debe encontrar la manera de escapar de ese laberinto de carne, ácidos gástricos y oscuridad. La premisa podría agotarse rápido, pero Brian Duffield (No One Will Save You) la convierte en una odisea de supervivencia con obstáculos que renuevan el suspenso y hacen del cuerpo de la ballena un territorio tan vasto como hostil.
Crítica: Resident Evil: Noche cero – Rolling Stone en Español
La película llega en un momento especialmente fértil para Abrams, que ha encadenado papeles memorables en Euphoria, Weapons y Resident Evil. Aquí sostiene casi toda la acción con el rostro, la respiración entrecortada, los murmullos casi inentendibles y los movimientos de un cuerpo sometido a condiciones extremas. Jay habla poco y a menudo queda reducido a un grito amortiguado por la máscara de buceo; Abrams consigue que cada dificultad se sienta como una nueva batalla por permanecer vivo.
Las escenas con Brolin, que aparecen en los recuerdos de Jay, le dan a la aventura su núcleo emocional. Mitt fue un padre severo que enseñó a su hijo a bucear mediante pruebas que lo hacían sentir pequeño. Su muerte dejó esa relación llena de asuntos pendientes, y las lecciones que antes parecían castigos se convierten ahora en herramientas para la supervivencia. Brolin compone a un hombre duro, contradictorio y vulnerable, mientras Abrams transmite la mezcla de dolor, resentimiento y necesidad de aprobación que mantiene unido a ese vínculo. La historia encuentra emoción en la posibilidad de que un hijo todavía pueda comprender a su padre cuando ya no tiene cómo hablar con él.
Crítica: Pacífico – Rolling Stone en Español
Duffield dirige con un sentido claro y sabe alternar la claustrofobia de Jay con la inmensidad del océano. La fotografía de Aaron Morton aprovecha esa oposición. El agua abierta ofrece una belleza que contrasta con el encierro viscoso del vientre de la ballena. Los efectos prácticos y digitales hacen que el viaje resulte palpable, desde el ácido digestivo hasta la lucha con un calamar gigante, y refuerzan el suspenso sin borrar la dimensión física del peligro.
Whalefall es una película original, distinta y emocionante que recupera el sentido del cine de aventuras que consiste en llevar a un personaje hasta un límite que parece imposible y convertir cada decisión en una cuestión de vida o muerte. Sus recuerdos familiares rozan por momentos el melodrama, pero el relato los integra en una travesía donde sobrevivir también significa revisar la historia que Jay lleva consigo. El vientre de la ballena se vuelve así una frontera entre la muerte y la vida, y una cámara de ecos en la que todavía puede escucharse la voz de un padre.

Hailee Steinfeld is bringing a little extra magic to her role in Disney’s new animated feature Hexed, contributing an enchanting cover of a hit by The Cars in addition to leading the voice cast.
Released Friday (Oct. 23) ahead of the movie’s theatrical premiere Nov. 25, the singer/actress’ version of “Magic” keeps all of the 1980s flair of The Cars’ original recording, while Steinfeld’s bright vocals give it a new pop sheen. “Just a little bit of magic pulls me through,” she sings. “I’ve got a hold on you.”

It pairs perfectly with the whimsical story told in Hexed, which follows a girl named Billie Doe — voiced by Steinfeld — as the discovery of her previously untapped magical abilities launches her “out of suburbia and into a spectacle-filled journey through a vast witch realm called Hexe,” according to a description. Rashida Jones, Jodie Foster, Walton Goggins, Tracey Ullman and Stephen Fry are also in the voice cast.
“Magic” reached No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984, but it’s far from The Cars’ only hit. The Boston rock band also scored top 10 entries with “Drive” (No. 3), “Shake It Up” (No. 4), “You Might Think” (No. 7) and “Tonight She Comes” (No. 7).
Steinfeld has also earned her share of chart hits with five entries on the Hot 100 to date, led by 2016’s “Starving” with Grey and Zedd, which peaked at No. 12. She’s now becoming known for recording music in collaboration with the films she stars in, dropping “Dangerous” for Sinners in April of last year. “Blending music and acting like this feels like the fullest expression of who I am,” she told Billboard at the time.

With all the new plaques on the way, Drizzy’s going to need another trophy room. The 6 God has plenty to celebrate this weekend, as Drake will be turning 40 on Saturday (Oct. 24).
He started the festivities earlier this week with a dinner above the CN Tower and a courtside outing at the Toronto Raptors home opener. Drake made his way to NYC and was spotted moving around the Big Apple on Thursday night (Oct. 22) with a dinner stop at Mamo.

Noel Gallagher, as is his nature, had some blunt words for non-meat-eaters while guesting on the Chicken Shop Date episode posted Friday (Oct. 23).
When asked at the start by host Amelia Dimoldenberg whether he liked chicken nuggets, the Oasis legend replied, “Who doesn’t?”

After she pointed out that vegetarians, by definition, aren’t fans of the delicacy, Gallagher said gravely: “F— those guys.”
“Worse,” he added when Dimoldenberg then brought up vegans. “No stamina.”
That said, the rocker did reconsider his hard-and-fast stance on the matter when Sir Paul McCartney came up. “He’s one of those rare people that when you meet them and walk away, you feel more good about yourself,” Gallagher gushed.
Dimoldenberg then noted that the former Beatle also looks and acts much younger than you’d expect from a person in their 80s. “Well, he’s vegetarian, eh?” the Manchester native conceded. “Must be something in it.”
Another person that Gallagher was thrilled to meet was Matthew McConaughey, according to the musician. Elsewhere in the Chicken Shop Date appearance, he revealed how he loved interacting with the actor so much, it inspired him to make a very specific purchase and switch up the decor at the entrance of his home.
“I’d met him at a friend’s wedding,” Gallagher shared. “I’d never met anyone like him, and I bought a life-sized cardboard cut-out and put it in the front window for a month.”
Those are just two of the many fun facts the sardonic rock star shared in his chat with Dimoldenberg, which also spanned Oasis’ massive stadium tour in 2025 and the band’s plans to embark on another trek next year. Last year’s excursion was the first time Noel and his brother Liam Gallagher reunited as Oasis after feuding since 2009, making the shows — which were documented in the September film Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger — extra meaningful.

Yung Miami had dreams of having Drake hop on the remix of her platinum-certified “Spend Dat” summer anthem, but the 6 God didn’t even reply when the City Girls rapper reached out.

Miami stopped by Hot 97 to promote her Watch Dis solo debut album, which also arrived on Friday (Oct. 23). The rapper revealed that when she messaged Drake about getting a verse, he ended up leaving her on read.
“Drake left me on read, I don’t know. I’m like, ‘Drake, what did I do?’ I love Drake. I f–king love Drake,” she repeated. “Just tell me no. I’m good with a no, but leaving me on read?”
The 32-year-old continued to shower Drizzy with praise and show love to the OVO rapper. “I just respect Drake. Drake is Drake, period,” she said. “I’ve always been a Drake fan, always gave him his flowers, personally love Drake, never rode the hate train. I personally love him, but I get it. When you go through things in the industry, that sh-t’ll make you look at everybody differently.”
This wasn’t the first time she tried to notch a Drake collaboration. She told Cam Newton’s Funky Friday podcast in June that she messaged the 6 God about hopping on a track titled “Take Me to Chanel,” which landed on her debut with features from Quavo and G Herbo.
“I was trying to get him on the song,” she said. “Like, I remember DMing him, but that’s at the time when he was going through all his sh-t. And when people are going through their sh-t, like, I get it. I understand. It’s just like, ‘I gotta focus on me right now,’ because these people trying to take me out. I can understand that, so I didn’t take it personally.”
Miami recalled: “I was like, Drake, I think you would sound good on ‘Take Me to Chanel.’ He just liked the thing. He just liked the message. I’m like, come on now, don’t do that, Drake. Don’t do that now. Because, when you called me, I was there. But nah, I f–k with Drake. I understand.”
