J Balvin, born José Álvaro Osorio Balvin in Medellín, Colombia, is a globally acclaimed reggaeton singer and producer, recognized as one of the best-selling Latin American artists with over 35 million records sold. Known for breaking cultural barriers, he has topped charts worldwide, won multiple major music awards, and made history as the first Latino to headline festivals like Coachella, Tomorrowland, and Lollapalooza.
From his diamond-certified hits “6 AM” and “Ay Vamos” to performances at the Super Bowl and collaborations with brands like Air Jordan, Balvin has cemented his status as a leader in the second-generation reggaeton movement and one of the most influential Latin artists of his generation.
“Misterio” is a surprising fusion that blends J Balvin’s modern urban rhythm with the classic elegance of salsa performed by Gilberto Santa Rosa, the “Gentleman of Salsa.” This collaboration reinforces the idea that salsa remains a vital part of our Latin cultural identity, adapting to new sounds without losing its essence. The song, included in the Mixteip project, is already making waves and has been praised for its stage presence and emotional power, further amplified by its high-impact performance on national television.
