April 10, 2025 marked the release of Cosas Sencillas, a collaboration between Carín León, an exponent of Mexican regional music, and Silvestre Dangond, a Colombian vallenato icon.
The song represents a fusion of genres that highlights the cultural richness of both countries (Mexico and Colombia) and allows the Mexican, already popular with Latin audiences, to expand his musical power.
Origin of the collaboration
The idea for Cosas Sencillas was born during the Festival de la Leyenda Vallenata in Valledupar, Colombia, in 2024.
In an informal meeting at Silvestre Dangond’s house, both artists shared their passion for music, which led to the creation of this joint project.
A tribute to the everyday
The song highlights the importance of small details in human relationships.
With lyrics that evoke the need for simple but meaningful expressions, such as “you look pretty” or “you look elegant”, the theme seeks to connect with the public’s emotions.
Carín León has not limited herself in her talent by lending it to collaborate with artists of all kinds such as Maluma, Matisse or even Kany García.
Music video and production
Cosas Sencillas was recorded under the Sony Music Latin label.
The music video was filmed in Carín León’s hometown of Hermosillo, Mexico, and reflects the camaraderie between the artists.
The Colombian and the Mexican interact on top of a plane and on the runway as they join voices to sing the song.
Cosas Sencillas has positive, emotional lyrics and a pleasant rhythm that connects with its target audience
