Miami, FL (February 5, 2026) – Colombian 4x Latin Grammy winner and vallenato star Silvestre Dangond, joins forces with Luis Díaz, global soccer sensation and one of the most influential Colombian athletes of his generation, for the release of their new song and video, “Ganas De Tenerla.” The track is a powerful anthem that connects two of Colombia’s most representative cultural forces: music and soccer
Rooted in a shared emotional language, this collaboration channels the passion, pride, and collective spirit that define Colombia. Driven by a festive and unmistakably Latin energy, “Ganas De Tenerla” stands as a song of unity that transcends genres and generations, celebrating national identity through the union of two cultural icons who represent Colombia on a global scale.
The song was written by Silvestre Dangond, Andrés Castro, and Juan Daniel Shool, and produced by Silvestre Dangond and Andrés Castro in a creative process developed in Miami. The result is a contemporary, global sound that remains connected to the roots of vallenato.
The official video tells the story of a young boy who dreams of becoming a professional soccer player, and how his love for the sport leads him to experience everything the sport represents until he reaches his greatest aspiration. With a festive, cultural, and contemporary tone, the video moves through streets dressed in flags from different countries, collective celebrations, and the thrill of a decisive goal. Everything converges in a vibrant narrative where soccer represents emotion, identity, and unity. Silvestre Dangond guides the story as a central thread until the culminating moment when “Lucho” Díaz appears, joins the dance, and becomes part of the celebration — visually sealing the connection between music and sport.
Anticipation around the release began on TikTok, when Silvestre shared the first previews of the song and choreography, quickly going viral and turning the audio into a trend while sparking conversation among music and soccer fans alike.
With 22.9 million followers across platforms, Silvestre Dangond, the Latin vallenato star, continues to lead the genre’s global evolution. His record-breaking stadium tour, “El Último Baile,” sold more than 500,000 tickets across over 15 sold-out stadiums, becoming the most successful stadium tour in Colombia’s history. The tour is currently preparing to arrive in the United States in March, with performances scheduled in six cities.
