Latinos are hearing their music all over the world. Reggaetonero and Latin music superstar J Balvin has teamed up with Japan-based hip-hop trio m-flo on the theme song for a new animated movie, called HUMAN LOST, to be released in theaters worldwide this fall.Īnd with the popularity of Japan’s anime culture and Latino music increasing around the world, this collaboration makes perfect sense for the “Mi Gente” singer to do. I mean J Balvin is even collaborating with a major Japanese hip hop group. The city’s Libertad district is the largest Japanese community in the world and Japanese culture plays a huge part in shaping local Paulista identity, from the food to the music. In fact, the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo is home to more Japanese than any other city outside of Japan. But we are living for this! One Twitter user wanted to remind us all of the close relationship between Japan and Latin America. We had no idea that Latin music – from salsa and merengue to reggaeton – was so popular across Japan. Turns out basically where ever you go in Japan you’re gonna hear Latin music. But by comparison, their impact was not so immense and widespread as that of Orquesta de la Luz. They’re said to have influenced Nora and her bandmates, and some even refer to them as the first and foremost Japanese salsa band. Before Orquesta de la Luz, the only other Japanese salsa band to make headlines was Orquesta del Sol, emerging around 1978.
