GRAMMY®-winning recording artist KAROL G unveils her most intimate, theatrical, and daring project to date, “Tropicoqueta.” A sweeping homage to Latin culture in all its rhythm, resilience, and radiance. Her fifth studio album is not merely one that plays— it performs, it tells stories, it dances, and it dresses itself in the symbols, scars, and splendor of a shared Latin heritage. A place where vallenato leans into reggaetón, bachata finds its voice alongside pop, and cumbia swaps stories with mariachi behind the curtain. Every note is wrapped in a vivid visual world that fuses the tropical with the ancestral, the flamboyant with the divine, the staged with the soul deep. “Tropicoqueta” is available now on all streaming platforms.
After nearly two years of personal and artistic evolution, KAROL G plunges into a world where sensuality is power, nostalgia takes center stage, and the stage itself becomes an altar for all that’s been denied, overlooked, or judged. The album draws inspiration from Latin American vedettes, women who were both beacon and controversy, object and subject, and who, through Karol’s lens, are reborn as icons of freedom, boldness, and unfiltered art.
“This album is a love letter to who we are. To everything we feel, and the infinite universe of things that define us as Latinos. It’s what, to me, would be the perfect playlist. A project where I couldn’t pick a favorite track even if I tried. I love them all, because each one takes you to a completely different world of sensations,” said KAROL G.
In “Tropicoqueta,” KAROL G takes full ownership of the creative journey, from the earliest songwriting sessions to production and final execution. Every song, visual, and performance is crafted to speak of transformation and how a woman can build her own stage, even in the dark. The album features an extraordinary group of collaborators, including Eddy Lover, Feid, Greeicy, Manu Chao, Mariah Angeliq, and Marco Antonio Solís, who help deepen its connection to the roots, essence, and origins of each genre represented. It begins with a cameo by one of her biggest inspirations, Latin pop icon Thalia. From there, it moves through a track produced by the legendary Pharrell Williamsthat fuses American and Latin culture, an authentic dembow crafted with Dominican producer Leo RD, and contributions from creative partners like Edgar Barrera, Ovy on the Drums, and Tainy. The result is a whimsical tribute that blends just the right touch of nostalgia with KAROL G’s signature sound.
“Tropicoqueta” follows a historic run of global milestones that have solidified KAROL G as a once-in-a-generation force in music and culture. With every release and accolade, KAROL G continues to redefine what it means to be a global superstar, proudly carrying her culture to the world stage and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for Latin representation in entertainment.
