Juan Manuel Montilla Macarrón, better known as El Langui, is a Spanish rapper and actor. He was a member of musical trio La Excepción.
Juan Manuel Montilla Macarrón was born in Madrid on 1 November 1979 and was raised in Pan Bendito, a southern area of Madrid. Due to lack of oxygen during childbirth, he suffers from cerebral palsy, which caused him a motor disorder of spasticity.
Together with Gitano Antón and Ladako Style, El Langui founded the hip-hop trio La Excepción. La Excepción won Best Spanish Act at the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards.
He made his feature film acting debut in The One-Handed Trick (2008) portraying Cuajo, a young man with palsy who fights for his dream of setting up a film studio. He won a Goya Award for Best New Actor and a Goya Award for Best Original Song for his work in the film. He has since featured in films such as Que baje Dios y lo vea, La cripta, el último secreto, or La familia Benetón and series such as Cuerpo de élite and 30 Coins.
His solo musical career beyond La Excepción includes the release of two albums: Hola (2015) and Espasticidad (2022).
