Caribenya is scheduled for release on July 17 via ANTI-. The album is described as a spiritual successor to Lido Pimienta’s 2020 cumbia-infused art pop album Miss Colombia, following the orchestral album La Belleza from the previous year. Pimienta frames the project as a counterpart to her earlier classical work, emphasizing less cerebral energy and more fun. She highlights collaboration with friends and a Caribbean sense of joy, likening the experience to dropping by without needing an appointment. The first single is the cumbia-infused track “Tóxica,” with a video directed by JC Molina. North American tour dates are set for July and September.
"Lido Pimienta has announced a new album, Caribenya, due out July 17 via ANTI-. It follows last year's orchestral La Belleza, but a press release describes it as "a spiritual successor" to her 2020 cumbia-infused art pop album Miss Colombia."
""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," she says."
""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.'""
"The first single is the cumbia-infused "Tóxica," and you can watch the video, directed by JC Molina, below. LIDO PIMIENTA - CARIBENYA TRACKLIST 1. Arrúllame 2. Tóxica 3. Libélula 4. Talento 5. Así Nací 6. Hoy Por Tí 7. Marea 8. No Me Quiero Ir"
