The new set includes collaborations with Juanes and Kany García and arrives just before his highly anticipated residency in Seville, Spain.

Manuel Carrasco

Jesús Isnard

With his new album Pueblo Salvaje I, Manuel Carrasco completes the universe he opened a year ago with Pueblo Salvaje II, an album that marked a period of exploration and depth for the Andalusian artist. “I showed the trunk and the crown first, and now I’m showing the roots,” Carrasco says. “This way, we close the circle.”

Released under Universal Music Spain on Thursday (May 28) at 6 p.m. ET — midnight in the European country — the 11-track album moves between pop and flamenco roots, featuring lyrics about identity, memory and personal reconstruction. The set opens with “Polaroids,” a statement of principles where flamenco once again takes center stage in Carrasco’s sonic realm.
