Karol G is serving full ‘90s Latin soap opera vibes in the latest promo for her upcoming album Tropicoqueta. And yes, it’s as wild, dramatic, and hilarious as it sounds.
In a two-minute video that’s straight out of classic telenovela land, Karol stars alongside some of the genre’s biggest legends — Anahí, Itatí Cantoral, Gaby Spanic, Ninel Conde, and Azela Robinson. This isn’t just a cameo party. It’s a full-blown, drama-filled showdown. Karol and Anahí go head-to-head over a mystery man. And who is this mystery heartthrob? A long-haired, vintage photo of Ricky Martin from the 1990s.
Legendary Telenovela Lines and Iconic Energy
The chaos ramps up when Itatí Cantoral storms in and drops her famous “Maldita lisiada!” line from María la del Barrio. That moment alone is enough to send fans into a nostalgia spiral. Ninel Conde jumps in to cool things down with a sassy, “Mamacita, you’re still doing this? It’s been so many years, please get over it!”
Then Gaby Spanic and Azela Robinson pull up in a red van blasting one of the unreleased tracks from Tropicoqueta. The lyrics go, “The woman is iconic, she has dreams, she has goals” — a clear nod to Karol’s own journey and the strong women who’ve inspired her.
Karol G’s Tribute to the Women Who Came Before
On Instagram, Karol shared behind-the-scenes photos and called the shoot one of the best experiences of her life. She said Anahí was the first person she called, and once she said yes, everything else just fell into place.
This isn’t just a promo. It’s Karol G showing love to the Latin women who paved the way — and doing it with flair. Tropicoqueta drops Friday, June 20. Fans can expect a project filled with nostalgia, roots, and that signature Karol fire.
