What Manuel Turizo and Kapo have been teasing for days has finally come to fruition. Two of the most influential artists in today’s urban genre teamed up in the studio to create ‘Qué Pecao,’ a track that promises to be a hit.

This surprising collaboration, released on October 4th, comes at a significant moment in both artists’ careers. In ‘Qué Pecao,’ the best of their styles come together to create a song that will capture the hearts of everyone who listens.

The chemistry between these two Latin performers is undeniable. Along with the release of the song, a music video highlighting the energy and connection between the two will also debut. With this, they offer an unforgettable experience with a track that’s unlike anything we’ve heard before.

No one represents bachata through music better than Manuel Turizo. The addition of Kapo brings a unique blend of melodies that few artists can achieve.

A Unique Detail

In the preview video both artists shared on social media, one detail stands out that some may have overlooked. In the background, on a red door, the number 201 is visible. This number references the Colombian singer’s fourth studio album.

«When I create, I like to try different things. Each song gives you something unique. Numbers are nice, of course, and it’s amazing, but there are songs that might not give you as much in terms of numbers but offer other things: you reach a new market, new people discover you. I realized people enjoyed and connected with that. I realized that was my identity, that’s who I am, and these are my true tastes,» the artist hinted months ago.

This small gesture suggests that this upcoming release with his friend Kapo may be an introductory single and part of Turizo’s next album.

Kapo, the Artist of the Moment

Kapo’s success began with Ohnana,’ which was so viral and widely listened to throughout the summer that a remix featuring Maluma, Ryan Castro, Farruko, and Nicky Jam was released just days ago. But the good news doesn’t stop there. The Colombian artist is also confirmed to perform at the LOS40 Music Awards Santander 2024.

On November 8, we’ll get to enjoy his music and presence on stage at Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona. Until then, ‘Qué Pecao’ is set to become the new anthem of Latin music, solidifying both Kapo and Manuel Turizo as innovative and multifaceted artists. What did you think of this exciting new musical collaboration? Are you excited to hear it?

‘Que Pecao’ Meaning

In Caribbean and some Latin American dialects, «Qué Pecao» is derived from «Qué pecado» (which means «What a sin» in standard Spanish), but the phrase is often pronounced as «pecao» in casual speech. It doesn’t literally refer to sin in a religious sense here. Instead, it’s commonly used to express sympathy or regret about a situation, much like saying «What a shame» or «That’s too bad» in English.

In the context of the song «Qué Pecao» by Manuel Turizo and Kapo, the title likely uses this expression to reflect the emotional regret or pain associated with love, possibly lamenting a failed or complicated romantic relationship.

‘Que Pecao’ by Manuel Turizo and Kapo: Lyrics in English

Lyrics of «Qué Pecao»

Intro: Kapo

Oh-oh

Verse 1: Kapo

Ay, you know, eh
That I’m dying to taste what you’re like, eh
But you ignore me, you show no signs of life
Because of one guy, you think we’re all the same
And that’s not fair

Pre-Chorus: Manuel Turizo

Give me a night, even if it’s just to talk
Or a little kiss, we have to start somewhere
After the bad, the good comes
And you haven’t seen how good you look

Chorus: Manuel Turizo & Kapo

What a shame
That you sleep another night alone, it’s a shame
Knowing that I could be there by your side
Erasing your past
Not everyone is bad, he was just the wrong one
Oh, what a shame
That you sleep another night alone, it’s a shame
If it still hurts, it’s because you haven’t been taken care of properly
You live in the past, you say you’re better off alone
Only because you haven’t been with me

Verse 2: Manuel Turizo

Baby, tell me when you’ll dare
To give me some kisses to dedicate Diomedes to you
Because those who can, do, and you’re just the way you should be
And wherever you go, I want you to take me
Ma, where are you? Are you going?
Don’t say you’re busy, don’t make it hard
Just, baby

Pre-Chorus: Kapo & Manuel Turizo

Give me a night, even if it’s just to talk
Or a little kiss, we have to start somewhere
After the bad, the good comes
And you haven’t seen how good you look

Chorus: Manuel Turizo

What a shame
That you sleep another night alone, it’s a shame
Knowing that I could be there by your side
Erasing your past, you say you’re better off alone
Only because you haven’t been with me

Verse 3: Kapo & Manuel Turizo

Oh, let’s lose count of the kisses
And let’s pretend nothing happened
And enjoy you fully, just like the first time
If life granted me one wish
I’d ask for you to love me
And if you saw yourself the way I see you
You’d understand that this man desires you
