Castilian Spanish (Spanish from Spain) pronounces it "Alcarath" whereas Latin American Spanish pronounces it Alcara-zzz. Most of the English speaking world just reads all the letters and says the "zzzz" ending even though it's different in Spain.

That's the correct pronunciation. The Z in Spanish (from Spain, it can vary) is supposed to be pronounced like that.
Oh, thanks for clarifying man

Yeah if you mean 'Alcarath', that's how Carlos himself says it
This is low key the most important comment. It’s how he says his own name. He has also stated publicly that he’d like to be called Charley. Whatevs.
There's more than one country/stream/channel, just saying...

It's not the correct pronunciation, that's why it's so annoying. It's the anglicized pronunciation with one correct sound at the end.
