On June 20, 2025, Colombian superstar Karol G released her fifth studio album, “Tropicoqueta”, a 20-track production that covers a range of Latin roots rhythms: merengue, bachata, cumbia, vallenato, ranchera and mariachi, over a base of reggaeton and Latin pop.
“Tropicoqueta” is a celebration of musical identity, with impressive collaborations such as: Marco Antonio Solis, in a nod to the romantic ballad, Greeicy and Feid, representing urban trends, Manu Chao, bringing a bohemian and international touch.
Visuals and telenovela-style storytelling for Karol G
In addition, the piece “Latina Foreva” was released in May, fusing 2000’s reggaeton with a Don Omar sample, exalting Latin pride.
The launch campaign incorporates an aesthetic inspired by Havana’s Tropicana cabaret, 90’s Mexican soap operas and vintage glamour.
The single “Papasito”, starring Danny Ramirez (from Marvel), recreates Mexican gold cinema in black and white.
In addition, Karol G included figures from mythical telenovelas such as Anahi, Gaby Spanic and Ninel Conde in her promotional video, underlining her homage to Latin culture.
