9 Apr
Summary
- Manuel Turizo's fifth album, 'Apambichao,' features 13 diverse tracks.
- The album name 'Apambichao' derives from a Dominican merengue style.
- Turizo experimented with bachata, merengue, reggae, and more on the album.
Manuel Turizo's fifth studio album, "Apambichao," arrived on Thursday, April 9, 2026, offering listeners a rich musical journey. The album, which began with the heartfelt bachata track "Te Creo" over a year ago, was conceived as "vacation music." Inspired by summers in Coveñas, Colombia, "Apambichao" features 13 songs that move away from Turizo's signature urban pop.
The Colombian singer, aged 25, seamlessly blends genres such as bachata, merengue, reggae, afrohouse, corridos, música popular, and boleros. Turizo emphasizes the organic nature of these influences, stating they stem from his cultural upbringing and early listening habits, which included artists like Diomedes Díaz and Juan Luis Guerra.
The album's title, "Apambichao," is derived from "pambiche," a slower-tempo Dominican merengue style. This choice reflects the relaxed, enjoy-life mood Turizo aimed to capture, creating a feeling of an "eternal summer." The album also includes collaborations with artists like Maluma and Xavi.
