Karol G brought a tropical and flirty vibe to her album release celebration for “Tropicoqueta” in New York City. Hosted in collaboration with Spotify at the Paradise Club in the Times Square EDITION, the event marked the debut of her vibrant fifth studio album.
The Colombian star dazzled in a strapless ivory maxi dress adorned with ruffles, complemented by striking diamond jewelry and sparkly silver eyeshadow. Her glamorous look was rounded out with a glossy red manicure and her blonde hair styled in straight, flowing locks, giving off a youthful, playful energy reminiscent of a quinceañera.
During the immersive experience, guests learned dance moves tailored to accompany her new songs, and Karol G joined the festivities, heightening the excitement of the evening. She also performed live for the first time since her recent tour, charming the audience with acoustic versions of hits like “Dile Luna,” “Se Puso Linda,” and “Amiga Mía,” inviting fans to join her on stage for a memorable duet.
With “Tropicoqueta,” which translates to “coquettish,” Karol G expands her artistic horizons beyond reggaeton, delving into various Latin genres such as Colombian vallenato, Cuban mambo, Dominican dembow, regional Mexican music, Brazilian funk, and Argentinian cumbia villera.
“This album is an homage to all those Latin music genres I grew up listening to,” she shared with Billboard Español, indicating a heartfelt connection to her musical roots.
Karol G’s celebration not only showcased her new work but also highlighted the rich diversity of Latin music, bringing a sense of cultural pride and joy to her fans. These elements contribute to a hopeful narrative around the evolution of Latin music and its growing influence in the global music scene.
