Ryan Castro & Grupo Frontera Deliver Norteño-Reggae Fusion with New Single “Apodo”
Global urban sensation Ryan Castro, one of the most in-demand names in Latin music, keeps his unstoppable rise going with the release of “Apodo”, a bold and refreshing norteño reggae collaboration with Latin GRAMMY®-winning música Mexicana trailblazers Grupo Frontera.
The track blends Caribbean rhythms inspired by Castro’s formative years living in Curaçao with the warmth of traditional norteño instrumentation, creating a genre-defying sound that bridges cultures while staying rooted in Latin music’s rich diversity.
Shot in McAllen, Texas, the official “Apodo” music video mirrors the track’s unique sonic blend. Against a coastal backdrop, viewers are transported into an intimate, organic setting where norteño meets reggae, a fusion that feels as natural as it is innovative. The visual captures the laid-back groove, authentic connection, and celebratory spirit at the heart of this collaboration.
The single arrives as Castro launches the U.S. pre-sale for his SENDÉ World Tour, which officially kicked off on August 7th. The U.S. leg will hit major cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Miami, and New York.
Internationally, the tour features a highly anticipated Bogotá date at the Coliseo Medplus, which sold out 19,000 tickets in under eight hours—his only show in Colombia this year.
Ryan Castro’s latest album, SENDÉ, continues to dominate the conversation. Named one of Billboard’s 25 Best Latin Albums of 2025 and featured in Rolling Stone’s Best Albums of the Year (Mid-Year) list, the project showcases Castro’s boundary-pushing sound and artistic vision.
Currently, Castro has five tracks charting on Spotify Colombia:
- Ba Ba Bad Remix
- Sanka
- Dónde
- Bombastik
- Ojalá
With “Apodo,” Ryan Castro cements his reputation as a fearless innovator, one who blends genres, cultures, and audiences while keeping his finger firmly on the pulse of global Latin music.
