"Ando manejando por las calles que me besaste..." becomes: "Ando manejando por las calles de Dietikon!" Colombian singer Manuel Turizo will be making his Swiss fans dance again this year: On 07.11.2025, the 25-year-old will make a stop at the Stadthalle Dietikon as part of his international "201 World Tour". It will be his first concert in Switzerland since his appearance at the Hallenstadion in 2023, where he shared the stage with Nicky Jam - an old hand in the reggaeton scene.
Manuel Turizo celebrated his breakthrough in 2016 with the hit "Una Lady como tú", which he co-wrote with his brother Julián Turizo. Since then, the singer-songwriter from Colombia has become an integral part of the Latin music scene. With 'La Bachata' in particular, his global megahit from 2022, he proved that he can also reach a global audience far away from typical club beats. Almost two billion streams on Spotify speak for themselves and make it one of the most successful Latin songs of recent years.
Turizo is known for his strong collaborations and his instinct for who he harmonizes with musically. For example, he worked with the Colombian band Piso 21 on "Déjala que vuelva" and sang alongside his Colombian colleague Shakira on "Copa Vacía" - an emotional ballad about emptiness and disappointment in love. But his repertoire goes far beyond romance. With "El Merengue", his surprising collaboration with US DJ Marshmello, he ventured into electronic realms in 2023 - and the combination of classic merengue and electronic music once again hit the mark.
He celebrated further successes with the club hit "Vaina Loca" alongside Ozuna and the song "La Nota" with Rauw Alejandro. These tracks also underline his versatility and his ability to recognize trends.
The current tour is all about his latest album "201" - named after his apartment in tranquil Montería, where he grew up. For Manuel Turizo, "201" is more than just a title: it is a tribute to his roots, his childhood and the dreams that began there. In an interview with Billboard, he said: "201 represents all the dreams I've had since childhood - all those youthful aspirations."
The stage concept also reflects these personal memories. The singer wants to invite his audience into his "living room" - a stage that should feel emotionally approachable. Instead of exaggerated effects, he focuses on authenticity and direct contact with the fans. "In Apartment 201 there was heartache, love, partying all night with friends, experiences with the family - all these stories come from there. All my songs were written there, all my ideas were born there. I wanted to tell them in the same way and take them to the 70 cities that my tour will take me to."
His tour will take him to the USA, Latin America and finally to Europe in the fall.
