Musical artist

**Elian Ángel Valenzuela** (born 5 April 2000), better known as **L-Gante**, is an Argentine rapper, singer, and songwriter.

He rose to fame in 2021 following the release of his collaboration with Papu DJ, "L-Gante Rkt", and later gained mainstream popularity with the release of "[Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 38](/source/L-Gante%3A_Bzrp_Music_Sessions%2C_Vol._38)", in collaboration with producer [Bizarrap](/source/Bizarrap), which topped the Argentine [*Billboard* Hot 100](/source/Argentina_Hot_100) chart.

## Background

Valenzuela was born on 5 April 2000 in [General Rodríguez](/source/General_Rodr%C3%ADguez), in the [Greater Buenos Aires](/source/Greater_Buenos_Aires) metropolitan area.[1] He was raised by a single mother; he doesn't have any relationship with his father.[3] He began to produce music at 15. His first songs were co-produced with close collaborator DT. Bilardo.[4]

Before reaching success, Valenzuela worked at a plastic factory.[3][5]

## Musical career

### Beginnings

Valenzuela's first release was uploaded to [YouTube](/source/YouTube) in 2017, but he wouldn't find much success until the following year, when his single "Uno más uno" attained over 2 million streams on [Spotify](/source/Spotify).[6] In December 2020, his collaboration with producer Papu DJ, "L-Gante RKT", debuted at 52 in the Argentine *Billboard* Hot 100, and peaked at second place in January 2021.[7][8] The song is a mix of [Argentine cumbia](/source/Argentine_cumbia) and [reggaeton](/source/Reggaeton), and its lyrics detail clandestine parties in working-class *barrios* in times of [COVID-19 restrictions](/source/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Argentina).[2][3]

In November 2020, he released "Pistola" alongside El Más Ladrón, produced by DT. Bilardo.

### *BZRP Music Session* and widespread success

In early March 2021, producer [Bizarrap](/source/Bizarrap) announced L-Gante would be the next featured artist in his *Music Sessions* series. The release of the session was scheduled for 9 March, but in the early hours of that day, Valenzuela was detained in [Rawson](/source/Rawson_Department%2C_San_Juan), [San Juan Province](/source/San_Juan_Province%2C_Argentina) under charges of causing public disturbances, and the release was delayed until Valenzuela could be cleared and released from custody.[9][10] "[L-Gante: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 38](/source/L-Gante%3A_Bzrp_Music_Sessions%2C_Vol._38)" was released on Bizarrap's YouTube channel the following day, garnering over 3 million views in under 24 hours and trending at number 2.[11] The collaboration topped the *Billboard* Hot 100, and remained at number 1 for seven consecutive weeks.[12] On 30 March, L-Gante and La Joaqui released the single "Lassie".[13]

In April 2021, Valenzuela released a remix of "Pistola" featuring cumbia band [Damas Gratis](/source/Damas_Gratis).[14] In May, he released two further singles: "Visionario" and "Internacional Love 420", featuring reggae singer [Fidel Nadal](/source/Fidel_Nadal).[15][16] The same month, L-Gante was named "Artist of the Month" by *Billboard Argentina*, starring in the cover of the magazine's digital and physical editions.[5]

In 2021, he collaborated with [Dillom](/source/Dillom) in his single "Tinty Nasty", and later featured in Dillom's debut album, *[Post Mortem](/source/Post_Mortem_(Dillom_album))*.[17]

## Style and influences

Valenzuela has stated that he considers himself primarily a [cumbia](/source/Argentine_cumbia) artist, with his particular style and brand being "Cumbia 420"; a mixture of cumbia and [reggaeton](/source/Reggaeton), with [marihuana](/source/Marihuana) playing a prominent role in the music's lyrics and themes.[14][18] According to Valenzuela himself, his early incursions in music were motivated by his desire to make music in a style that was "more [Argentine]" and less influenced by foreign genres and trends.[3] His music is also influenced by [Latin trap](/source/Latin_trap).[19]

## Personal life

In 2022, Valenzuela became engaged to his girlfriend, Tamara Báez. In 2021, Valenzuela and Báez had a daughter, whom they named Jamaica.[20][21]

From 2024 to 2025, Valenzuela was in a relationship with [Wanda Nara](/source/Wanda_Nara).[22][23]
