Second-generation Colombian and second-generation reggatoñero, J Balvin has continually sought creative and commercial expansion in his music.
The explosive impact of 2015's chart-topping global crossover "Ginza" was a lead-in to the following year's full-length Energia, whose dazzling array of styles topped the Latin charts and remained there for 99 weeks, helping set the stage for the Luis Fonsi-Daddy Yankee game changer "Despacito." Balvin's and Willy William's "Mi Gente" ended the reign of that single after a 35-week run, topping charts in two successively released versions -- the one here and the Beyonce remix.
The video has amassed nearly two billion views.
In addition, Balvin and Bad Bunny were collaborators on Cardi B's wacky boogaloo single "I Like It." Just prior to Vibras' release, Balvin and Nicky Jam collaborated on the number one "X/Equs." Finally, Balvin's and Michael Brun's "Positivo" was selected by Telemundo as the network's official theme for the FIFA World Cup.
In other words, he has been riding a wave that shows no signs of cresting.
