Two new Afro House hits at the heart of the 2026 World Tour and the new edition of LOVE ON PEACE – Peace Through Music

The Spring/Summer 2026 season opens with two new productions by Angelus Marino, an iconic figure in the international electronic scene and producer of hundreds of musical works: “Papaya” and “Tu Cuerpo Me Gusta”. Two warm, vibrant, sun‑drenched tracks already in rotation for weeks on radio stations worldwide, from the United States to Jamaica, from South America to Africa, from Southeast Asia to Europe, reaching Dubai, Oceania and the Middle East.

The releases accompany the continuation of the 2026 World Tour, which began in January and is currently traveling across Europe, the USA, the Emirates, Africa and Asia. They also mark the launch of the new edition of LOVE ON PEACE – Peace Through Music, one of the most meaningful and identity‑defining projects of Angelus’ career.

LOVE ON PEACE – Peace Through Music (2026 Edition)

A project born with Dr. Feelx. A legacy that continues.

LOVE ON PEACE is a cultural and electronic project carrying a deep and authentic connection to African heritage through the memory of the late Dr. Feelx, a beloved and historic figure of the international dance scene.

The project was originally created in the early 2010s by Angelus Marino and Dr. Feelx, combining music, energy, inclusion and messages of peace. The 2026 edition represents both an evolution of their original vision and a respectful tribute to Feelx’s artistic and human legacy.

Dr. Feelx, born in Lagos (Nigeria) and son of a FAO diplomat, lived between the USA, the United Kingdom, Asia, Australia and Europe. This international dimension shaped his vision of music as a bridge between cultures, communities and generations.

Angelus and Feelx shared a profound artistic and human journey. Together, they created LOVE ON PEACE as a cultural activation rooted in 60 years of history, identity and human connection.

“Papaya” – A journey into rhythm

“Tu Cuerpo Me Gusta” – Latin energy, light and sensuality

A vibrant mix of Afro House, Latin House and tropical influences, featuring a catchy and energetic male vocal. A celebration of movement, freedom and the warm sensuality of summer nights.
