“Conexión” is not just the new album by Daniel Calderón and the Gigantes del Vallenato, it’s an emotional and artistic statement. Recorded on Calderón Records and produced by Iván Calderón, this work represents a sincere journey through love, desire, nostalgia, and regret, all narrated through the unmistakable hallmark of vallenato with soul.
“Conexión” is a direct line to the heart, to the roots, to Daniel’s personal and musical history. With an intense and honest performance, the artist shows himself to be “more human than ever, connected to something greater… music.”
The album presents a mix of songs that explore all facets of the heart. From the introspective power of Primero Sé Yo to the yearning for redemption in Pido Perdón, each song is charged with emotion and truth.
The album’s first single, “Dos Horas,” stands out for its powerful interpretation and emotional intensity. A song that speaks of desire, urgency, and dedication, and encapsulates the passionate spirit that characterizes the band.
Featuring the talented accordionist Alvin Anaya “Mafia,” “Conexión” strikes a perfect balance between tradition and contemporary sensibility. It is a tribute to those who have accompanied us on this journey, an invitation to write new stories through sound.
Daniel Calderón returns with a mature work, full of nostalgia, tenderness, and playfulness. “Conexión” is, above all, a profound, honest, and human musical experience.
