Monsieur Periné is a Bogotá-based musical ensemble from Colombia with an Afro-Colombian sound which mixes Latin and European flavors.[1][2] They have a "French-influenced, gypsy jazz sound" according to one review, and lead singer Catalina García sometimes sings in Spanish and sometimes in French.[1][2] Their "Gypsy-swing" 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]
