Mixteip is a compilation of 10 songs -with an approximate duration of 26 minutes- that reaffirm J Balvin’s creative power.
The album includes collaborations with Gilberto Santa Rosa in “Misterio”, a fusion of salsa and reggaeton.
Stormzy on “Uuu”, with British hip-hop influences; Lenny Tavárez and Justin Quiles on “Zun Zun”, which evokes traditional reguetón.
The single “Zun Zun” was even accompanied by a music video with a nostalgic 90’s aesthetic, premiered on MTV and screened in Times Square, New York.
From viral beat to official single
When Mixteip appeared, the song “¿Dónde Está José?” had no lyrics: it was part of an instrumental beat that became a viral phenomenon.
Thousands of fans -from countries such as Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, among others- recorded their own voices and versions of this musical base.
J Balvin actively invited them to participate, which generated a creative community crisis in networks.
With “Si Te Vas”, this collective imagination takes shape in a studio production with official vocals.
