Colombia honors the memory of Yeison Jiménez, one of the most influential and beloved figures in Colombian popular music, with the official release of the music video for the song "El Aventurero en el Cielo," a deeply moving work that celebrates his artistic and human legacy.

The music video was filmed on Sunday, January 18, in Llano Grande, Antioquia, with additional scenes shot in Pereira, and featured the presence of all the artists who are part of this historic collaboration. The shoot lasted approximately six hours and was directed by Julián Henao G, in a day marked by emotion, respect, and brotherhood.

A Day of Remembrance

During the recording, which took place in a sober and symbolic atmosphere with the artists dressed in white, moments of profound connection were experienced. Alongside the scenes, the performers shared memories, anecdotes, and personal experiences each had with Yeison Jiménez, turning the set into a space of remembrance and collective reflection.

The final scene of the music video was a toast shared by all the artists gathered together, an especially meaningful moment in which Yeison's legacy was evoked, words filled with reflection were exchanged, and a sincere call was made to further unite Colombian popular music. In that moment, the artists sealed a promise: to meet again to record a new song together, this time for a different purpose, but with the same spirit of unity.

More Than a Musical Project

The gathering of 13 major figures in Colombian popular music for a single tribute song is unprecedented in the genre.
