After nabbing the Best New Artist award at the 2015 Latin Grammys in November last year, alternative band Monsieur Periné is hoping to get another one at the 58th Grammy Awards, which will happen on February 15 this year.

The band's album, "Caja de Música," had notched a Grammy nomination under the Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album category which gave them a good reason to aspire for another golden feather in their cap.

For the group from Colombia, however, just getting nominated is already a victory for them. The group faces compelling competition for the award in Pitbull and a compatriot, the band Bomba Estéreo.

"The Grammy nod is already a win for us. It would be something historic for us and for Colombian bands, for our country's industry," the band was quoted by NBC News Latino as saying. "Very few Colombian artists are nominated to the Grammy's and very few win. It would be incredible at least that a Colombian won."

"If it's us, it would be perfect, it would open even more doors, especially doors in the U.S., which is what we came to do on this tour."

The group, composed of Santiago Sarabia, Catalina García and Nicolás Junca, is currently in the US playing at a number of cities in the country. The trio will play in Boston this Sunday.

Sarabia, who plays the guitar, charango, and violin, described their sound as "tropical summer, the most alive and warm vibe possible," as influenced by an African undercurrent and Latin American rhythms.

"Swing is a style within jazz and jazz has an African root, it has rhythm and from the rhythm comes naturally dance. And that same root, it's present in Latin American music which has black, Hispanic and indigenous influences," he explained.

The group's singer, Garcia, commented that their American audiences are "very interested in our experience and in learning about our story because Colombia may be our home, but a lot of people still don't know our music," as told to New York Daily News.

The group began in 2007, which was when Garcia met the instrumentalists. They went on to release their first record in 2012. However, it was only after they launched their second album, "Caja de Música," that they got more people listening and formally earned critical validation with their Latin Grammy win.

The award, Sarabia said, had laid the foundation for the group's future and gave them more reasons to be more confident about their music.
