Miami, FL (May 22, 2026) – Latin GRAMMY nominee Manu Manzo has released Manuela, her most personal album to date. Told from the point of view of being present in the exact moments of her most lived experiences, the project is a genuine reflection of who she is — as an artist and as a person — and stands as the most complete work of her career.
Anchored by real instruments and rich orchestral arrangements, Manuela leans fully into Manzo’s musical roots, setting it apart from anything she has released before. Every detail of the album traces back to where she began — music school, a deep reverence for the legends who shaped her, and an upbringing informed by her Arabic heritage. Produced by Manu Manzo and Latin GRAMMY-winning producer Larry Coll, the spirits of Diana Ross and The Supremes are felt throughout, as is the warmth and texture of the ’70s diva era that has long been a touchstone for her sound and artistry.
The album follows the albums pre-single releases “Doral,” the cinematic anthem that opened this chapter, “Espejito,” and “Candela,” and continues its story with a raw, reflective sense of awakening. Where “Doral” introduced the world to this version of Manu Manzo, Manuela fills in the full picture — her origins, her growth, and the experiences that have shaped her along the way.

Her music has led her to perform on major stages such as Viña del Mar, SXSW, and III Points Festival, as well as singing the U.S. National Anthem at NFL and NASCAR Playoffs.
