Interview by Gigi Rivera.

The Colombian artist Manuel Turizo was sharing with Contrast Magazine several details about his success “La Bachata,” his musical career and several details about his new album. He also shared his experience creating music since he likes to propose different styles because each transmits and communicates different sensations. “People connect with this song “Bachata” because the lyrics are about moments we have all been through.”

Manuel is an international star as he has more than 31 million monthly listeners on Spotify and has been the protagonist of great songs such as “Una lady Como Tu,” “Culpables,” “Una Vaina Loca,” “Los Cachos.” “People sing Culpables as if they had a broken heart or had damaged the relationship.” He has also had great collaborations with different artists such as Maluma, Piso 21, Camillo, Mau and Ricky, this is to mention a few. “We took mariachis to the studio, we had them to record and we took all the elements of mariachi music to be able to make a different proposal.”

LA BACHATA is a worldwide anthem since, after 20 weeks, it is still within the first five positions in the Top Global and has more than 181M views on YouTube; in addition to the surprising numbers that this hit counts, this song It has managed to connect with its audience because its lyrics and its rhythm make people feel identified, making this song becomes an anthem. They shout it every time they listen to it. That is the magic that this artist has because he never fits into a single genre or rhythm. In reality, he likes to move through various genres, experimenting with melodies, sounds, and ideas as they further nourish his songs.

His new album will be titled “2000” because he was born in the same year. This makes it unique because he is inspired by everything that has influenced him to create his own identity as an artist and has given him the power to have that versatility. To move through various genres this time, on this album, we will have different sounds such as Bachata, EDM, Afrobeat, R&B, and Reggaeton, among others. “I like to change orbit too much in music,” said Manuel. The goal of why he likes to experiment with various genres is because it gives his fans the opportunity to have music for different moments of their lives combined with different emotions. “I like to change orbit too much in music.”

Since this album is so unique because it carries all its identity, essence and magic, we will only have the participation of 2 artists since these collaborations occurred spontaneously. “You never finish creating a song even after it is released,” said the Colombian artist.” They are Maria Becerra with the song Éxtasis; a song produced one year ago. She has a very sensual and spicy voice; it is one of those songs that one wants to dance. The next collaboration is with one of Manuel’s close friends Beele since with him they have had several moments to create music.

His process to create music happens spontaneously, in reality, it does not have a format that he follows step by step, he likes to have fun and be able to have pleasant moments while they start looking for the right sounds for their next song; Manuel says, “You have to be open to making mistakes and trying to find other facets that I can personify in music.” We know that his lyrics are profound and it is because Manuel likes to convey emotions through his voice, he likes to tell those stories that we have all been through. He has a strong belief that each genre transmits something totally different to you and that is why he likes to experiment with various sounds because he can get to know his audience even more, but the most important thing is that it does not limit the ability to create music.

Manuel confesses that every time a show ends he leaves recharged with energy and happiness and that is what motivates him the most to continue creating music since he feels very grateful to all of us who have listened to him since his song “Una Lady Como Tu” went viral and we have been able to continue seeing the evolution of her career. To end this great interview, he leaves us a message so that we continue to pursue our dreams and live a life with purpose, loving what we do.

We are anxious to see what is new from this artist and we feel very grateful that he has shared a little of his time with us and has given us a little of his new album.

As we closed the interview, Manuel Turizo gives one final word of advice: “Thank you for connecting me for feeling my music and listening to it, I wish you all to be very successful and achieve success in whatever you dedicate yourself to.”
