Review

Mala Gente" (English: Evil People) is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Juanes. The song is the third radio single from his second studio album, Un Día Normal. It shows his frustration with his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend, who he calls "mala gente" She tells him their romance is over, and she wants to be friends. He believes her to be a liar. He can not trust her because she has played with his emotions. He does not even want to be friends.

The video starts showing paintings with actors in them. Juanes appears on the stage. He looks at a red-hair girl in the crowd. He chases her by the building, which is a theater. During the guitar solo, we see Juanes being part of the paintings. He finally gets close and kisses her. Suddenly, a big fire appeared, showing us she was a demon.

It is a fast song that will help you to improve your Spanish fluency.
