Former Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is continuing to establish himself in the music world.

The Colombian has followed up his 2025 breakthrough by featuring in a new music video with Latin music star Silvestre Dangond. Diaz, who left Anfield for Bayern Munich in a transfer last summer, has steadily increased his involvement in music over recent years.

In 2024, he appeared on Ryan Castro's song, 'El ritmo que nos une' - performing several verses himself. The South American superstar then made his debut as lead vocalist on 'La Promesa' (The Promise), which was released at the end of 2025. Fans spotted a Manchester United poster in the background of that music video.

Now he's taken things further by appearing in the video for Dangond's latest single, 'Ganas de tenerla.'

The official video follows a young boy aspiring to become a football star, dancing through streets adorned with flags from across the world. Diaz and Dangond then feature, showing off their own skills on a soccer field.

Diaz, 29, doesn't display his vocal abilities on this occasion, but fans are sure to appreciate the visual experience nonetheless.

Despite his continued success on the field, the Premier League winner has previously spoken about what his musical journey means to him after releasing his first track.

"Many people know me for football, but today I want you to get to know another side of me," he said at the time. "Music is one of my hobbies and a way for me to express myself from the heart, something I do with great affection and respect for the art."

The music video for La Promesa includes clips of Diaz throughout his career with Barranquilla FC, Porto, Liverpool and Bayern. It appears supporters can expect further musical releases from the winger in due course.

After chalking up 64 direct goal contributions (41 goals, 23 assists) over 148 appearances for Liverpool, many fans were disappointed to see Diaz depart last summer.

However, the transfer was also viewed as shrewd business for a player with under two years left on his contract.

The move to Bavaria has proven a resounding success for both him and Bayern so far, apart from an unfortunate red card in the Champions League. Diaz has scored 18 goals and registered 14 assists in his first 30 appearances for the club.

Diaz's latest impressive display came during Sunday's 5-1 demolition of high-flying Hoffenheim. Remarkably, Diaz was involved in all five of his side's goals, netting a hat-trick alongside his two assists.

Bayern and Diaz find themselves first in the Bundesliga table, six points clear of Borussia Dortmund in second. They take on RB Leipzig in the quarterfinal of the German Cup on Wednesday.
