Who is El Momo, the great star of Cincomarzada 2025 in Zaragoza
The Zaragozan artist El Momo is the great honoree in his hometown at Cincomarzada 2025, under the heading 'Neighborhood Pride'. This MC from Las Delicias has seen his solid rap career rise in level in terms of popularity after the release of 'Artesanía', an album published in the spring of 2024, which features the song 'De barrio' with Estopa . The Catalan brothers, emblem of the Barcelona town of Cornellá, declared themselves faithful followers of the Zaragozan, and gladly accepted the invitation to participate in this song that also unites them in feeling.
Momo (aka Mario Maher) is not a newcomer to the business; in fact, he can already claim to be a veteran, because he started very young, something common in the world of rap. After the release of the album 'El circorculo' (2016), by Kase.O, Javier Ibarra took Mario as a second bus on the extensive world tour that followed the release , which was an incredible boost for the author of 'Artesanía', and an accelerated learning of what it means to play in the big leagues of music.
His recording careerEl Momo has released four full-length albums: 'El don de escucha' (2015), 'Tetsuo' (2017), 'Sueños reales' (2019) and the aforementioned 'Artesanía', which includes a collaboration with Kase.O: 'La última ronda'. His latest release, at the end of last summer, was especially emotional for the artist and his entourage: 'Orgullo Delicias' , a tribute of affection and rhythm to the streets that saw him grow up, produced by Bombony Montana.
Momo is also a brilliant audiovisual director and editor; he was part of the 'Aragoneses por el mundo' team from Aragón TV, he works on his own videos and is (among other works for various artists) the person responsible for 'Te pone bien', a song by Violadores del Verso included on Sho-Hai's album 'Polvo' (2022).
The official presentation concert of 'Artesanía' at Oasis Café Teatro was a real show of power, with top guests such as Kase.O and Sho-Hai, as well as the brilliance of the urban dance group Resisdance and the impressive vocalist Celia Carballo. El DobleZero was in the second microphone, and Fleki Flex was in charge of the turntables: both are also part of the noble lineage of rap in Zaragoza.
There was another recital to present the songs from the new album in a small group: it was in May of last year, in the now closed Las Armas venue, and the concert went down in history because during the course of it, Mario got down on one knee on stage and proposed to his girlfriend, fashion designer Irene Marqueta. She said yes.
