Colombian Singer Hamilton Shares Path to Opening Slot on Ryan Castro's North American Trek
Hamilton, a rising Colombian artist, explained that his friendship and prior collaborations with Ryan Castro led to his selection as the opening act for Castro's 17-date U.S. tour. He said his goal is to bring high energy and connect with new audiences, while also learning from Castro's discipline and humility. Hamilton is currently promoting his single "Quien Me Mandó?" during the tour.
Born in Cartagena de Indias in 1999, the performer known as the Afro Rockstar blends a smooth vocal delivery with tropical rhythms. He has earned recognition from several established Latin urban acts, including Farruko and De La Ghetto, alongside his existing tracks with Castro.
As part of the 17-date Sendé: The Last Dance Tour, he is showcasing his latest single with Zaider. He is also developing a new musical project titled "El Pelaito de CTG," which references his hometown origins.
This mentorship dynamic could reshape how emerging Colombian artists gain international exposure, as established stars like Castro provide direct platforms for newcomers. Audiences on the tour may discover a fresh Afro-tropical sound, potentially broadening the genre's appeal. Hamilton's visibility could also inspire other regional artists to pursue cross-collaborations, fostering a more interconnected Latin music ecosystem.
