Monsieur Periné Essentials
Apple Music
Monsieur Periné’s style-hopping charm is undeniable. In acclaimed albums like 2015’s Caja de Música, the Latin Grammy winners from Bogotá serve up vivid vignettes mixing Latin folk and alt-pop, unbridled joy and tinges of melancholy. Bittersweet goodbye song “Cempasuchil” marries laid-back reggae with nods to Mexican music. “Suin Romanticón” reveals the band’s prominent swing influences, while “La Tregua” flirts with cumbia. Driven by polyglot Catalina García’s caressing vocals, Monsieur Periné’s charango-laden lilts and tango romanticism are tantalizing for pop dreamers of all stripes.
