After a period of pause and reflection, Guatemalan singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona returned to the scene earlier this year with 'Seco,' an album that synthesizes a stage of personal and artistic transformation. 'I started it in a wheelchair... and I finished it walking, almost running,' he said about this project. In this way, 'Seco' not only functions as another album in his discography but as a testimony: of his body recovering, of his mind starting to compose again, and of his desire to tell without filters. In May 2026, Ricardo Arjona will perform at the Movistar Arena with 12 shows, as part of his 'Lo que el Seco no dijo' tour. 'Seco' is composed of 12 songs: Barcelona, Despacio que hay prisa (with reggae touches), 70%, Luna, Poquita fe, Motel revolución, Nirvana, Gritas, Mentira, Mujer (a tribute to the female genre, visually starring his daughter Adria Arjona), Un gran gusto conocerte, and Todo termina. This work delves into a more intimate, honest, and stripped-down territory. The title of the album, 'Seco,' alludes to a childhood nickname of the artist: 'For those who know me, I was always Ricardo, I was Arjona or Ricardo Arjona. For those who love me, I was always Seco'. In recent years, Arjona went through a complicated health period that kept him away from the stages and forced him to stop.
