On this edition of Midweek Cafecito, we talk to Juanes<\/a>, the Colombian pop star who recently released JuanesTeban<\/a>, the twelfth album of his career.<\/p>\n

In this conversation over Zoom, the Grammy-winning<\/a> musician, known for hits like \u201cLa Camisa Negra,\u201d spoke with New Times music editor Flor Franceschetti<\/a> about exploring personal duality on this new record, the influence Miami has had on his music after 22 years in the Magic City, his upcoming tour, and more.<\/p>\n

Co-produced by Nico Cotton and Juanes, JuanesTeban is a concept album built around duality. Across its 16 tracks, Juanes moves between darkness and light, cumbia and rock, spirituality and carnal romance \u2014 balancing moments of joy and optimism with emotional vulnerability.<\/p>\n

When talking about the range of genres on the album, the singer pointed back to his upbringing: \u201cI grew up listening to all folk music from Colombia and all across the Americas, from mariachi to tango to cumbia, everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

That mix of influences connects directly to Miami, a city he says reflects his own identity. After more than two decades living here, Juanes sees the city\u2019s cultural diversity as part of the album\u2019s DNA.<\/p>\n

JuanesTeban, released March 6, also features a range of collaborations, including Rawayana, Bomba Est\u00e9reo, Conociendo Rusia, Mon Laferte, and Vivir Quintana. \u201cThe first thing I need to feel is admiration,\u201d he says. \u201cIf an artist inspires me and is doing something fresh or different, that\u2019s what draws me in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to his upcoming show at Kaseya Center on Friday, September 4, Juanes says this moment in his career feels especially meaningful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the best moment of my life to be on stage,\u201d he says. \u201cWe\u2019re learning how to give people energy and happiness, and the show is going to be very powerful and entertaining.\u201d<\/p>\n
