Lido Pimienta Shares New Single Marea Ahead Of 'Caribenya' Release

Written by Jon Stickler
Lido Pimienta has shared a new single ahead of the release of her fourth album.
The cumbia-infused Marea explores love, desire and more through the story of a young woman who does whatever she can to support her family.
It follows the Grammy-nominated Colombian-Canadian artist's earlier singles Talento and Tóxica in previewing 'Caribenya’, which combines the orchestral sound of last year's 'La Belleza' with the electro-cumbia style of her 2020 breakout record 'Miss Colombia', created alongside collaborators including Mexican cumbia collective Turbo Sonidero and Arrabalero of Grupo Jejeje. Pimienta explained:
“Someone told me that making a classical album was gonna be impossible for me and I did it, an “impossible-only-Europeans-could-ever-do-this album”; ‘Caribenya’ is the counterpart where I got to be less cerebral and have more fun.
"With my friends, I'm more collaborative, because I usually work alone; it has a sense of joy and collaboration that is very Caribbean. It’s like ‘come over and hang. You don’t need to set up an appointment; you can just knock on the door.’"
Following the release of 'Caribenya' through ANTI- this Friday (July 17), Pimienta will tour the US West Coast from September 15, including a date in Mexico City on September 25, before heading to Europe in October and November for a run of shows that includes an appearance at Pitchfork Music Festival London.
'Caribenya' tracklist:
1. Arrúllame
2. Tóxica
3. Libélula
4. Talento
5. Así Nací
6. Hoy Por Tí
7. Marea
8. No Me Quiero Ir
