Miami, FL. (27 de marzo de 2026) – Legendary singer-songwriter Carlos Vives joins the Colombian group Monsieur Periné on the new single “El Avión,” a song that will be part of the band’s new album, “Instrucciones Para Ser Feliz,” which is set to be released on April 30 via 5020 Records.
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,” Catalina García of Monsieur Periné said.
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,” Carlos Vives said.
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,” Catalina García added.
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, Colombia.
Currently, Carlos Vives is preparing for his international “Tour al Sol,” the first phase of which will visit Canada, the United States, and Puerto Rico, followed by Colombia and Ecuador. More than just a series of concerts, “Tour al Sol” is a symbolic journey that traces the path of the sun: from the first ray of dawn, when hope awakens; through the fiery midday, where energy and joy burst forth in every song; until reaching sunset, that golden moment where everything transforms into emotion, magic, and collective celebration.
