Ryan Castro takes us to Curaçao, where he shows us where he worked and lived and explains why the island is so special for him. He talks about his career trajectory, explains why his new album, “Sendé”, is sentimental to his roots, defines what “Awoo” means, and more!
Ryan Castro:
Hello, what’s new? It’s a great day. I am Ryan Castro and we are here with Billboard to spend 24 hours together. Let’s go! We are here Ein Curaçao, an island that is really special for my life. I really like to be here. I like to come here to create music, to come on vacation, to visit my family because I also have family here. I have my mother and my brothers here. We are on the way to lunch because we are a little hungry. We are on the way to a restaurant called Perla del Mar. Almost every time I am in Curaçao, I come here. I really like to come to this restaurant because it was a restaurant I worked in. I feel really happy because I have the impression that the fans failed not to know this side of me. They know a lot about me, I told them a lot about my story in Medellin, in the ghetto, on the buses I sang on the way I exploded. It was on this island that I was stuck on Colombia. So I think that it was the right time for me to tell them and let them know what I was going through here because of my cultural influences, why I like dancehall because I also create this album. The words that I normally use as “awoo” and all that so that they know where everything that comes and where it is like all these things that Ryan Castro does.
