Mi Gente English lyrics and meaning

 

Mi Gente translated as My people in English is a song by the popular Colombian singer J Balvin alongside the French producer Willy William. The song was released in June 2017 and the song was a complete success on all music charts around the world. After Mi Gente's success, J Balvin decided to make at least six more remixes to the song one of them including the famous singer, Beyonce.

 

Mi Gente English lyrics talk about music and parties, about how the rhythm of music can make you make your head vibe and if the music can do that then the song and the artist are doing good. Most of the lyrics talk about people dancing at parties and how the DJs know what people like to listen to and how to make a party non-stop.

 

 Mi Gente most popular sentence is “¿Y dónde esta mi gente?” which meaning and translation can be "Where is my people?” this is a reference for when a singer or a Dj is on the stage, they usually animate the people with that kind of question making people answer in excitement.

 

The video clip shows us different locations and parties, the famous Italian millionaire Gianluca Vacchi makes a cameo during the clip dancing and having fun.
