Mi Gente translates to My People, and from the very first beat J Balvin and Willy William invite absolutely everyone to join their global dance floor. The lyrics celebrate a rhythm so infectious it “moves your head” before you even realize it, proving that music can leap over language, culture, and borders without missing a step. Balvin proudly declares that his sound “does not discriminate,” turning the song into an open-armed anthem of inclusion where every listener is family.
As the party rolls from Colombia to France and echoes across the world, the duo shouts out DJs, bottles in the air, and a dance-until-dawn energy that refuses to slow down. “Dónde está mi gente?”—“Where are my people?”—is not just a question; it is a joyful roll call that pulls crowds from every corner into one unstoppable celebration. In short, “Mi Gente” is a high-octane reminder that when the beat drops, we are all united on the same dance floor, moving together to the same pulse.
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.
