Mi Gente is a high-voltage invitation to the dance floor, where language, nationality, and status disappear beneath an irresistible Reggaeton beat. J Balvin, Willy William, and Beyoncé trade lines in Spanish, French, English, and even a splash of Creole, proving that rhythm speaks louder than any border. The lyrics celebrate a party that lives “in their genes,” urging everyone to loosen up, move their feet, and feel the bass that “starts to raise the level.” It is about unity through music, a celebration that never stops, and a crowd that never wants to leave.
Beyond the pulse-pounding groove, the song is a shout-out to cultural pride and personal confidence. Beyoncé’s verse flips boastful brags into playful empowerment, while J Balvin reminds listeners that his sound “doesn’t discriminate.” Cities and countries fly by—Houston, France, Colombia, Puerto Rico, México—turning the world into one endless club. “Mi Gente” is more than a track; it is a global block party where everyone is welcome, as long as they’re ready to say yeah, yeah, yeah and dance until sunrise.
José Álvaro Osorio Balvín, known as J Balvin, is a pioneering Colombian reggaeton singer born in Medellín in 1985. Bursting onto the music scene in 2004, Balvin is recognized as one of the best-selling Latin artists with over 35 million records sold worldwide.
Known for hits like "6 AM," "Ay Vamos," and "Mi Gente," he has transformed reggaeton into a global phenomenon while staying true to his Spanish roots. J Balvin's eclectic style blends urbano, Latin pop, and trap, influenced by rock legends like Metallica and Nirvana, as well as icons like Daddy Yankee.
With multiple Latin Grammy Awards and Billboard Latin Music Awards under his belt, Balvin continues to break records — becoming the first Latino to headline major music festivals such as Coachella. His vibrant music and fashion make him a standout figure, dedicated to spreading Latin music worldwide.
