BOGOTÁ – Manuel Turizo rescues a Shakira turned into a mermaid with pink hair for the new collaboration between the two Colombians, “Copa Vacía”, released on Thursday.
The theme is accompanied by a music video with fantastic components in which Shakira turns into a sea creature with a mermaid’s tail.
The Colombian started 2023 in the middle of a scandal in her personal life that she knew how to transfer to her music to position herself as one of the most listened to artists.
His first single of the year, together with the Argentine producer Bizarrap, made history by debuting at number 1 worldwide and breaking 14 Guinness world records. It is now the song in Spanish with the most streams in a single day in history, and the fifth highest debut in Spotify history.
Turizo was referring a few months ago in an interview to this new single with Shakira, which he was sure would become a “hit”.
“It was brutal,” Turizo said of the experience of collaborating with the “queen of Latin music,” as he referred to the owner of global hits “Waka Waka” and “Hips Dont’ Lie.”
“All Latin artists would like to have the opportunity to do this. For me, she is the queen of Latin music, she is one of the greatest references that we have. It was incredible. It was how I dreamed it,” the Colombian said at the time. .
