Monsieur Periné
Colombian musical ensemble / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monsieur Periné is a Bogotá-based musical ensemble from Colombia with an Afro-Colombian sound that mixes Latin and European flavors.[1][2] Lead singer Catalina Algafloja sings in a mixture of Spanish, French, English, and Portuguese.[1][2] Other members include Santiago Prieto, who plays the charango, violin, and guitar; Eva Peroni on the bass; Jairo Alfonso on the winds (primarily saxophone and clarinet); Abstin Caviedes on the trombone and bugle; Miguel Guerra on percussion; and Darwin Paez on the drumset. Their style mixes elements of cumbia, tango, danzón, bolero and pop music, according to the San Diego Union Tribune.[3] At the Latin Grammy Awards, the ensemble was named best new artist of 2015.[4][5] Their debut album in 2012 won Colombia's national gold album award.[6] The group was formed in 2008.[6][2]
