On the tenth episode of The FADER Uncovered, host Mark Ronson is joined by J Balvin, the global superstar whose charisma and chart-topping hits have taken Spanish language music to unparalleled heights in the past decade. Together they revisit Balvin’s 2016 FADER cover, written as the Colombian reggaetón artist was playing arenas in South America and looking to make waves in the U.S. and beyond. They look back on Balvin’s past five years, including appearances at the Super Bowl and on stage at Coachella during Beyoncé’s iconic headline set, while picking apart the wider impact it has had on the music world. Ronson also dives into Balvin’s new album Jose, his most personal album so far.
