Colombian band Monsieur Periné, two-time Latin GRAMMY® winners and multiple GRAMMY® nominees, release their new single, "El Avión," alongside iconic Colombian artist Carlos Vives. The song is the fourth preview of their upcoming studio album, set for release on April 30 via 5020 Records and featuring several special collaborations.
A bright, energetic song that celebrates the freedom of living in the moment and leaving behind the fears that hold us back, "El Avión" uses the metaphor of travel to remind us that life is fleeting and every opportunity is unique, while also touching on the risks and realities that traveling represents today for many immigrants. "Many times, the decision to migrate has nothing to do with paperwork or borders, but with what you carry in your heart and the search for a better life. The story of migrants is the story of people who leave everything behind for an opportunity, and that always comes with an emotional cost," shares Catalina García of Monsieur Periné.
Blending vibrant Latin pop, Caribbean rhythms, and the signature sound that has defined Monsieur Periné throughout their career, "El Avión" becomes an anthem about the urgency of living life before the plane takes off.
The participation of Carlos Vives, one of the most influential figures in Latin music, brings a special energy to the track, creating a generational collaboration that connects tradition, joy, and a spirit of adventure. "Collaborating with Monsieur Periné was something we had been looking forward to for a long time. When they brought 'El Avión,' we immediately felt there was something special about it. We joined the song with a lot of joy; it was a very fun creative process that you can feel both in the music and in the video. It's a very joyful, very festive, and very special song for us," shares Carlos Vives.
For Monsieur Periné, this collaboration also represents a deeply meaningful moment in their musical journey: "Carlos Vives has always been a reference for us. We grew up with his music and with the way he blended Colombian sounds with a modern vision. We've always admired the way he tells our stories and creates space for new voices. Being able to create with him was a dream that finally came true," shares Catalina García of Monsieur Periné.
The release is accompanied by an official music video that expands the song's narrative and traveling spirit, inviting audiences to take off on a musical experience full of color, movement, and celebration. The video was produced by La Ruta, a young audiovisual production company from Cali, who also directed the video for "Aguaráchate."
With "El Avión", Monsieur Periné continues to explore new sounds within their creative universe, reaffirming their ability to create music that connects emotionally with audiences around the world. Recently, the band received two nominations at Premios Nuestra Tierra 2026 in the categories Best Pop Group/Duo and Best Dance/Electronic Song for "Aguaráchate," further solidifying their impact on the Latin music scene.
