\u201cIt\u2019s something that is inside you already when you\u2019re alive,\u201d Manuel Turizo tells Apple Music about the innate inspiration behind his single \u201cEl Merengue.\u201d A clever counterpart to last year\u2019s runaway hit \u201cLa Bachata\u201d and a standout moment on his new album 2000, the Marshmello collaboration captures the Colombian singer\u2019s musical roots, paying due homage to the merengue-meets-electronica hybrids of the past while giving the tropical sound a modern update. \u201cIf you have Marshmello on the song, it\u2019s not going to be a classic merengue\u2014not traditional,\u201d he says. \u201cI was trying to make something different, to put another sauce in it.\u201d This playlist is updated often, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.<\/p>\n
