“This EP is designed to be enjoyed during a summer in Cali, steamy, hot, close, sensual, exciting, for close dancing, in the dark, mysterious, and all of this is what we wanted to convey in ‘Rico,’” explained Junior Zamora.
“Rico” captures this vision through its sensual lyrics and a musical production co-written by Zamora and Rafa Pabön. The EP’s overall sound is a testament to Zamora’s diverse influences, creating a bridge between cultures while paying homage to R&B artists and Afrobeat pioneers such as Wizkid.
The accompanying music video visually enhances the narrative, introducing Junior’s alter-ego “Jay” enjoying a night of party and dance at the ‘Jayhouse.’ The clip focuses on the initial, sensual stages of two people connecting, maintaining the spirit of his origins while projecting his new, elevated career stage.
The new single arrives during what has been a breakout year for Junior Zamora. His 2025 highlights include performing as the opening artist for Maluma in Bogotá, securing four nominations at Premios Nuestra Tierra, and participating in major festivals like La Solar and Festival Pura Vida. With “Rico,” Junior Zamora not only delivers a fresh, compelling sound but also reinforces his position as one of the most exciting and versatile voices emerging from the Colombian urban scene today.
