Manuel Turizo - 201 (2024)

“At the beginning of my career, I was focused on absorbing everything as quickly as possible,” Manuel Turizo tells Apple Music. “However, after seven or eight years of making music, now I’m focused on enjoying it and living it.” Only a year and a few months after 2000, one of his most diverse albums, Turizo presents 201, which goes even further. The Colombian star draws from rock, vallenato, country and other genres, and connects with his musical roots while maintaining his mischievous vibe. “I like different types of music, because I have listened to them all my life,” he says. “Where I’m from, we do not listen to just one genre.” Below, Turizo tells the stories behind a few highlights from his fourth studio album.
