El Marido Ideal

Unbearable singer-songwriter is how Carlos Marrero, a.k.a. El Marido Ideal, describes himself. He likes to sing about heartbreak, cyber scams, insomnia, peculiar fetishes, and the Internet. Although he can sometimes be a bit much, like when he gives his songs endless titles or makes incessant references to pop culture, there is something endearing about what he says and how he says it. A mixture of contagious energy, wit, and fragility; a star who is too self-aware to succeed; a guy who plays the guitar and sings but doesn't want to be the guy who plays the guitar and sings. But, of course, a character far from being an ideal husband.
