After weeks at the top of the global ranking of the most viewed videos on YouTube, becoming the #1 song on the music charts, and climbing positions daily on Spotify’s global charts, Manuel Turizo’s “La Bachata” reaches the top of Billboard magazine’s prestigious Latin Airplay list.
“La Bachata,” with more than 200 million views on YouTube, has become not only the most successful song of the Colombian idol to date, but for many, it is a new global anthem to battle heartbreak. The theme has crossed language barriers, as evidenced by Turizo’s invitation from Coldplay to perform “La Bachata” at the band’s massive concert in Colombia.
This song, from Manuel Turizo’s upcoming studio album 2000, demonstrates the artist’s musical and interpretive versatility, as he has always expressed being a music lover and fan of all musical genres. The song, written by Manuel Turizo in collaboration with Edgar Barrera, Andrés Jael Correa, Juan Diego Medina, and Miguel Andrés Martinez, has become the singer’s state song.
