Goyo Says Her Ultra-Passionate Debut Album ‘Pantera’ Is ‘a Safe Place for Me’
Goyo released her debut studio album Pantera,' and tells Billboard why it's a "safe place" for her.
Released Thursday (July 10) via Sony Music Latin, the 14-track set — home to previously released singles “Tumbado,” “Salta Por Mi” featuring Luister La Voz, and “Volver a Verte” featuring Zaider — is named after the large, wild cat because “it’s a very instinctive and elegant animal, and all of that resonates with me,” the Colombian artist tells Billboard. “I learned about the movement through Tupac, because I was a huge fan of his when I was younger and while researching his life, I realized that his mother, Afeni Shakur, was part of Black Panther,” she elaborates. On the album, Goyo — who gained fame as part of the Latin Grammy-nominated group ChocQuibTown — explores the sounds of Afrobeats, delivers empowering lyricism and collaborates with key artists such as Pras, Afro B, Greeicy and J Noa, resulting in a very sensual, personal and passionate project.
