Late Colombian singer Yeison Jiménez's team releases song recorded before his death

The family and team of the late Colombian popular music star Yeison Jiménez have released 'Mala de profesión,' an unreleased song recorded before his death. The track is the first in a series of posthumous releases aimed at honoring and preserving the artist's musical legacy following his passing in a plane crash on January 10.

The song, written in 2025 by Jiménez along with Simón Escobar Uribe, Guillermo Alejandro Ortiz Gómez, and Andrés Felipe Álzate Ortiz, was completed and ready for release prior to the singer's untimely death. Its launch strategically coincides with what would have been Jiménez's birthday, adding a poignant layer to the tribute.

'Mala de profesión' stays true to Jiménez's signature style, featuring lyrics centered on heartbreak and instrumentation characteristic of Colombian regional music, including the vihuela, requintos, accordion, and trumpets. The accompanying official video uses AI technology to recreate the artist's image, based on recordings made before his death, with authorization from his family and team.

Producers stated that the video's creation took over two months, including a month dedicated to training the digital model and recreating Jiménez's physical features and gestures through visual effects. The release aims to fulfill the singer's wishes and celebrate his career, with his team emphasizing that each shared track serves as a tribute to an artist who remains one of Colombia's most listened-to figures on digital platforms, with over five million monthly listeners.
