The music world is in mourning following a devastating aviation accident in Colombia. Colombian singer Yeison Jimenez is feared to be among the six people killed when a charter flight crashed near Paipa. The tragic incident, which occurred on or around 11 January 2026, has sent shockwaves through his fanbase and the Latin music community.
A Tragic End and a Prophetic Final Message
Authorities have not yet released an official confirmation of the identities of the deceased. However, a report from the prominent Colombian newspaper El Tiempo indicates that the 34-year-old singer and five other musicians perished in the crash. In the hours before the fatal flight, Jimenez shared what would become his final post on Instagram, a clip from a musical performance.
The caption of that post has now taken on a hauntingly prophetic meaning for his grieving followers. He wrote, "Recuerden... si la carreta suena es porque va vacía," which translates to "Remember... if the cart makes noise, it's because it's empty." This poignant phrase, a piece of folk wisdom, has become a focal point for the outpouring of grief online.
