Monsieur Periné play their song Nuestra Canción live in concert at SF Jazz in San Francisco, California on July 20, 2022. (Por mis amigos Colombianos: La banda Monsieur Periné interpretan "Nuestra Canción" en una actuación en vivo en San Francisco).

Nuestra Canción appeared on the band's second studio album, Caja de Música (2015), and was their first single. It was a fan favorite but not well known otherwise. However, the song recently went viral on TikTok. It started when a TikToker posted a video of Bugs Bunny in a dress dancing to the song, but it quickly turned into a dance challenge as more and more people posted content of themselves, their pets, and inanimate objects dancing to the song. Before long, Nuestra Cancion was used in a million different TikTok videos with well over 2 billion views.

Monsieur Perine are a Latin Grammy Award winning Colombian band from Bogota who blend French gypsy jazz and Latin American pop. The band consists of Catalina García (vocals), Santiago Prieto (charango, guitar & vocals), Jairo Alfonso (saxophone & clarinet), Abstin Caviedes (trumpet & trombone), Eva Peroni (bass), Miguel Guerra (percussion), and Darwin Páez (drums).

Monsieur Periné official bio:

“One of the most exciting emerging artists in Latin music” (LA Weekly), Monsieur Perine, the 2015 Latin Grammy winner for Best New Artist, brings their singular hybrid that merges the simmering French jazz manouche style of Django Reinhardt with dance-inspiring Latin American rhythms.

Formed a decade ago in Bogotá, Colombia by singer Catalina García and guitarists Santiago Prieto and Jairo Alfonso, the band has cultivated a fervent following by blending the spirit of 1930s music with the joyous and sophisticated sounds of contemporary Latin American pop — a worldly, boundary-blurring approach places them in the same echelon as contemporaries Natalia Lafourcade, Troker, Carla Morrison, and Bomba Estereo.

García’s effervescent vocals match perfectly with a uniquely colorful visual style masterminded by Colombian artist José Arboleda in their surreal album art and concert clothing, and the band has released three albums including their self-released 2012 debut Hecho a Mano, the Latin Grammy-winning 2015 follow-up Caja De Musica, and their newest Sony Music session, the Grammy-nominated Encanto Tropical.

They return with music from their upcoming album, which contains their latest single “Volverte a Ver” ("To See You Again").

Nuestra Cancion lyrics / letra:

Te dije adiós
Llegaste tarde
Para despedirnos
Y si el destino apresurado quiso herirnos
Yo descubrí una solución
Para el dolor
Hice la canción
Que me pedías
Cuando aún no te quería
Y prometiste enamorarme algún día
Mientras reías el sol acarició
Mi corazón

Con flores te llevaste mi tristeza
Con colores
Dibujaste la nobleza de la mano
A tu lado creció nuestra ilusión
A ciegas nos entregamos aunque muchos se opusieran
Disimulamos nuestro amor
Nos inventamos en cada rincón
Nuestra canción

No fue el adiós
Suficiente para despedirnos
Y si el destino no lograba predecirlo
Tú me enseñaste una solución
Para el dolor
Fue la canción
Que te pedía cuando aún no me querías
Cuando era todo pura fantasía
Quién lo diría el sol hizo virar
Tu corazón

Con flores recordaba tu belleza
Con colores
Te tomaba por sorpresa de la mano
A tu lado creció nuestra ilusión
A ciegas nos entregamos aunque muchos se opusieran
Disimulamos nuestro amor
Nos inventamos en cada rincón
Nuestra canción

Dile a la jardinera que traigo flores
Dile a la jardinera que traigo amor
Dile a la jardinera que traigo flores
Dile a la jardinera que traigo amor

Con flores te llevaste mi tristeza
Con colores
Dibujaste la nobleza de la mano
A tu lado creció nuestra ilusión
A ciegas nos entregamos aunque muchos se opusieran
Disimulamos nuestro amor
Nos inventamos en cada rincón
Nuestra canción

Written by Catalina Barahona García / Santiago Prieto Sarabia / Miguel Guerra / Vicente García
