The Announcement:
November 18, 2024 (Miami, FL) – Farruko accompanies his latest album release, CVRBON VRMOR, with a new video for the baile-funk track “Trote.” Set in a remote favela nestled in the mountains of Brazil, the video features kids playing fútbol, tough teens watching their backs, and cut scenes of the Puerto Rican singer himself as he reflects on his youth, growing up in the hood, how he survived, and expressing gratefulness for how far he’s come. In one scene, the singer and a mob of kids are all popping wheelies toward the camera as bullets zip past them in slow motion, a la Neo in The Matrix. These cinematic effects reinforce the canonical elements Farruko chronicles in his music creatively.
In the “Trote” single and video, Darell joins Farruko, whose smoky voice rolls through verses recounting a similar childhood as he stands on an elevated front deck surrounded by what would be shooters holding trumpets instead of weapons. Symbolically, the extras represent how their upbringing inspired their music and how grateful they are to have created a completely different life for themselves, one filled with safety and security.
Multi-platinum superstar Farruko pushes the boundaries of urban music with the release of CVRBON VRMOR, the culmination of a powerful saga that marks a milestone in his artistic and spiritual journey. This 26-track album is available now on all digital platforms. CVRBON VRMOR is a musical production and the pinnacle of a deeply personal and spiritual journey Farruko embarked upon following his transformative conversion. In this epic saga, the artist confronts the darkness, facing internal forces that threaten to strip him of his essence and spirit.
“This project represents the culmination of an internal battle I’ve been fighting daily,” Farruko shares. “Each song is a testament to my struggle against darkness, a reflection of my search for light and redemption. CVRBON VRMOR is more than music; it’s my spiritual armor.”
With his voice as a weapon and his lyrics as sacred testimony, Farruko guides us on a sonic odyssey where every rhythm, note, and verse creates a multi-sensory experience. The music goes beyond sound; it’s a portal to new realms, where spirit and flesh clash in an epic struggle, and the listener is invited to transcend reality alongside him. Moreover, the production is a visceral experience that interweaves past, present, and future, revealing secrets from Farruko’s life while hinting at the uncertain paths ahead.
The visual treatment of CVRBON VRMOR is equally ambitious. Each song includes a music video that preserves the album’s cinematic aesthetic and draws inspiration from science fiction worlds, such as the ones George Lucas created in Star Wars. Additionally, the audio has been mastered using Dolby Atmos technology. These videos, directed by Sebastián A. Pérez from Intercosmic Studios and Fernando Lugo, use Hollywood-quality special effects and settings to bring Farruko’s spiritual journey to life.
CVRBON VRMOR arrives at a crucial moment for Farruko, solidifying his new artistic direction, focusing on reflection, faith, and positive messages. This album represents a musical achievement and a testament to personal and spiritual transformation. In the short month since the album’s release, the hit single “CABLES CRUZADOS” has reached #5 on the Billboard Latin Pop Airplay chart and #45 on the Billboard Latin Airplay chart. CVRBON VRMOR has already racked up 175.8 million streams on Spotify, 45 million streams on Apple Music, and 11.1 million views on YouTube. Farruko’s success on this latest project is a testament to his ability to remain authentic and create music from the heart that continues to resonate with millions across the globe.
Farruko is preparing to bring the CVRBON VRMOR experience to fans worldwide with his upcoming international tour. Dates and details will be announced soon.
