Mi Gente

Reggaeton
Reggaeton

Mi Gente is a Reggaeton act. Their sound grew out of Willy William. Those roots explain a lot about how Mi Gente arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Con Calma, Final Song, Shape of You, Taki Taki and Swalla, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Martin Garrix, Diplo, David Guetta, Tiësto and Pitbull, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 24 connections around Mi Gente, reaching back through Willy William and forward to Martin Garrix.
