El Turista

A sun-drenched blend of American folk and Spanish bossa nova. Intimate nylon strings and soft percussion create a gentle, bilingual travelogue.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into Spanish vocals on 'Duerme' that feels like a natural extension of the melody.
The surprising, slowed-down reimagining of 'Cotton Eye Joe' into a mournful, atmospheric folk ballad.
The bright, percussive shuffle of 'Bienvenido' that sets the album's breezy, travelogue tone.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
