Colombian singer Ryan Castro gets in his feels with his new joint single, “ Apodo ,” alongside Tejano band Grupo Frontera.
Released on Thursday, the collaboration yearns for unrequited love. The song boasts Grupo Frontera’s traditional norteño sound, with the addition of their signature bongo of course. But it also includes hints of Caribbean reggae — like double chop beats — an element from Castro’s musical background that he is all too familiar with, having spent his formative years in Curaçao, a Dutch Caribbean island, where part of his family still resides.
The new song release comes on the heels of another important announcement: Castro has announced dates for his upcoming Sendé World Tour, with stops in five major U.S. cities: Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Miami and New York
