Manuel Turizo’s 201 world tour made its way to Miami on Friday (Aug. 29) after making pit stops in Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica and Argentina first.
The Colombian artist opened his one-hour and 30-minute show with three of his popular collaborations: “Mala Costumbre,” “Los Cachos” and “Te Quemastes,” before greeting his fans at the Kaseya Center.

He shined wearing an edgy suit with mixed metals, an open blazer that showed off his perfectly toned and tanned body, and a baseball cap with the number 201, honoring the trek’s name. He was also joined by a group of eight female and male dancers, and a group of musicians including his brother Julian Turizo.
Notably, the stage reflected what was his childhood apartment in Montería, Colombia, divided into three sections: the bedroom, the living room, and the balcony.
“I was thinking about how to connect Manuel Turizo as a performer with where he comes from and where all these inspirations or all these stories a person lives originate,” he previously said to Billboard of his tour’s concept. “All of that happens in my house. In [apartment] 201 there were heartbreaks, there were loves, drunken parties with friends, with family — all the stories are there. All the songs are born there, all the ideas are born there.”
Evidently, that’s what he portrayed at the show — a fun get together with friends.
He continued with the dance-ready bangers and the romantic ballads, including some of his No. 1 Billboard hits such as “La Nota,” “Vaina Loca,” “Copa Vacia,” “Vagabundo,” “La Bachata” and “En Privado.”
At one point, he performed his norteño-tinged tunes “Una Cerveza” and “Lunes a Lunes,” dedicating the small set to his Mexican fans. “I come from Colombia,” he said at the show. “The first country that played my music, internationally, was Mexico. This is my little piece of Mexico.”
After a few more shirtless moments and making a toast with the audience, Turizo wrapped up his show with his tropical hit “El Merengue.” The CMN and La Industria Inc-produced stint in support of his latest studio album 201 continues Aug. 31 in North Carolina and wraps in September in California.
