Luis Diaz's Dual Success: Football Stardom and Music Career Expansion
Former Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is currently thriving on the football pitch for Bayern Munich, but his ambitions extend far beyond the Bundesliga. The Colombian international is simultaneously building a promising music career, recently appearing in a new music video alongside renowned Latin music star Silvestre Dangond.
From Football Pitch to Music Video Set
Diaz, who departed Liverpool for Bayern Munich in a substantial £65.5 million transfer last summer, has been gradually increasing his musical involvement over recent years. His journey into music began in 2024 when he featured on Ryan Castro's track 'El ritmo que nos une', contributing several verses of his own.
The South American footballer then took a significant step forward by releasing his debut single 'La Promesa' (The Promise) at the end of 2025, marking his official entry as a lead vocalist. His latest musical venture sees him starring in the official video for Dangond's new single 'Ganas de tenerla'.
The Music Video Narrative and Visual Spectacle
The official music video tells the compelling story of a young boy dreaming of football stardom, dancing through streets adorned with international flags from around the world. Diaz and Dangond then make their appearance, showcasing impressive footwork on a football pitch that blends athleticism with artistic expression.
While the 29-year-old footballer doesn't demonstrate his singing abilities in this particular video, fans are treated to a visual spectacle that celebrates both football and music. The video for his own debut single 'La Promesa' incorporates career highlights from his time with Barranquilla FC, Porto, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich.
Diaz's Personal Connection to Music
Despite his ongoing football achievements, including Premier League championship success, Diaz has expressed the personal significance of his musical exploration. Following the release of his debut track, he shared his perspective on this creative outlet.
"Many people know me for football, but today I want you to get to know another side of me," Diaz explained. "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."
Football Success Continues Unabated
Diaz's departure from Liverpool last summer was met with disappointment from many supporters, particularly given his impressive record of 64 direct goal contributions (41 goals, 23 assists) across 148 matches for the club. However, the transfer represented sound business for a player with less than two years remaining on his contract.
The move to Bavaria has proven remarkably successful for both player and club, aside from an unfortunate red card incident in the Champions League. Diaz has already scored 18 goals and provided 14 assists in his first 30 appearances for Bayern Munich, with the club strongly positioned to defend their Bundesliga title.
Recent Footballing Excellence
Diaz's most recent standout performance occurred during Sunday's commanding 5-1 victory over high-flying Hoffenheim. Remarkably, the Colombian contributed to all five of his team's goals, achieving a hat-trick alongside two crucial assists that demonstrated his continued importance to the Bayern squad.
Managerial Praise for Unique Abilities
Bayern manager Vincent Kompany has expressed particular admiration for Diaz's distinctive playing style and creative capabilities. The former defender offered insightful praise for the forward's unique approach to the game.
"Lucho has got a kind of 'chaotic creativity'," Kompany observed in November. "He can always do something in chaos. As a defender, I always found it uncomfortable to play against such players because you never know whether you have the ball under control or he has it."
This combination of football excellence and musical exploration positions Luis Diaz as a rare multi-talented athlete, successfully balancing professional sporting commitments with creative artistic pursuits that continue to expand his public profile beyond the football pitch.
