Delta, Spotify’s debut series ‘The Passport Sessions’ bring together artists, cultures and stories

Travelers and music lovers alike can pack their bags and get ready to stamp their musical passports as Delta and Spotify partner to release a brand-new docuseries, aptly titled “The Passport Sessions.”

The new series brings together songwriters, producers and artists from “twin cities” – cities around the world that share similar cultural identities – to create new music while exploring the influence and impact that music has on different cultures around the world.

Available today exclusively on Delta’s industry-leading in-flight entertainment, the continued collaboration with Spotify signals another step in the airline’s journey to make the time spent on Delta even more enjoyable.

A Musical Travelogue

In a world where beats can transcend borders and music is a universal language, “The Passport Sessions” is an exploration into the music, cultures and stories that connect us. The first episode, “From Miami to Medellín”, sees Miami-based singer-songwriter Maye and producer Andy Clay meet with local artists Juan Duque and Aria Vega in Colombia’s city of eternal spring, Medellín.

Together, Maye and Andy travel on Delta to Medellín where they embark on a musical journey with Juan and Aria to capture the essence of their respective cities and cultures through music. From breaking bread in El Poblado to exploring local flavors in Comuna 13, the episode captures the artists’ creative process as they collaborate in the studio.

“‘The Passport Sessions’ series is about more than showcasing music,” said Delta Chief Marketing Officer Alicia Tillman. “It’s a harmonious celebration, quite literally, of Delta’s commitment to connecting people to places, passions and their own potential. We are weaving the cultural fabrics of destinations like Miami and Medellín into the very essence of our in-flight experience. It’s an embodiment of the magic that can happen when two beloved brands collaborate to live out their shared values in new and interesting ways.”
