wicho is gearing up to release his third single, “el error,” from his eagerly awaited debut album, escalas en la distancia, this January. If you were captivated by his previous track, “cuando te acercás,” you probably found yourself swept up in its tale of raw, immediate desire and the fleeting magic of shared intimacy. That song, which has already amassed thousands of streams, shows two people completely in sync with the moment, where the world—and reality—fades away, leaving only their closeness and the sensual thrill of the dance floor. It’s a track that really conveys the rush of letting go and living a thousand lives in a single night.
Now, wicho has just announced that his new single, “el error,” is on the horizon, and it promises to take us on a more introspective, yet equally compelling, journey.
The best way to describe wicho’s style is as a blend of Indie Pop and Alternative Rock. His sound carries a distinctly nostalgic ring, which he himself says is part of his songwriting ethos. The gentle, echoing guitar lines and the steady, driving rhythm on “el error” give the track a reflective, almost dreamy quality that feels intimate and expansive.
wicho’s musical influences are a fascinating mix that explains the unique textures in his music. Starting with The Beatles and a teenage immersion in Blues legends like B.B. King, he developed a deep appreciation for complex guitar work. But it’s The Police, who really hold a huge obsession for him. You can hear a bit of that stripped-back, elegant complexity in his arrangements. Plus, as a Nicaraguan artist based in Austin, Texas, his dedication to Latin music adds an undeniable warmth and passion to his Indie-Alternative foundation.
If “cuando te acercás” was about the heat of the moment, “el error” is about the cold reality of the morning after—and all the uncertainty that comes with trying to hold onto something.
We all know what it’s like to stand at a crossroads, wondering, Será algo bueno o será un error? Will this path bring something good, or is it a mistake? wicho pours his heart out about grappling with a relationship that seems to be slipping away, questioning his own authenticity in the process. He asks if he’s being “valiente o un estafador” (brave or a fraud).
It’s an honest look at the emotional distance that keeps growing—that feeling that the space between your hands is stretching from winter to summer. The song acknowledges the regret of missed opportunities, recognizing that sometimes you’ve lost the train because you chose to wait for someone else. That kind of honest self-reflection, especially when faced with the fact that “lo nuestro en el pasado” (what was ours is in the past), hits right where it matters.
wicho’s message is clear – whatever tough path you’re enduring, it’s completely okay to move on and keep pressing forward. Getting stuck is exhausting and lonely, and true courage comes from pushing yourself onto that scary new journey, being true to who you are, and having the coraje de demostrar lo que soy (courage to show what I am).
