Reggaeton is amazing.
Latin music is universal.
Steve Aoki is somebody I really love, and he did a remix of 'Mi Gente,' too.
What really swings is the music of the United States, Cuba, the Caribbean and vicinity, and, of course, Brazil. The rest is all waltzes.
Shakira is a talented singer, and I am a huge fan of her.
Everyone my age probably grew up listening to the 'perreos' of Plan B.
Much like Jennifer Lopez or Ricky Martin who might have started with a hardcore Latin fan-base, I'll always remember what my foundation was.
For me, I love Marc Anthony a lot. He's one of my dad's favorite artists, and I listened to him a lot growing up.
I've always wanted to work with Mana. I've been a fan of them since I started singing reggaeton in 1992.
Juanes is one of the legendary, iconic Colombian artists. Growing up in Colombia, you can't really not have him on your radar. His songs are everywhere, and there's a statue of him. He's pretty big for Latin America, and for Colombia especially.
I'm a huge salsa fan. I actually have a salsa on my album, 'Formula Vol. 2,' featuring Marc Anthony.
I love all Balvin songs, and 'Mi Gente' and 'Despacito' got No. 1 all over the world in Spanish.
Reggaeton is a global genre.
I grew up around salsa, merengue, bachata, bass music, freestyle, hip-hop, techno, house, rave.
When Aventura began, there was a lot of salsa and merengue, and we said, 'Let's just do what we do.' Then Aventura blew up, but urban was in its prime.
If you ask me what's Aventura's forte, I'll obviously say its capacity to deliver hits.
Ricky Martin is one of my idols in the industry.
I normally listen to Spanish music - well, Latin music. I like a lot of singers.
My biggest tunes - 'Eres Mia,' 'Llevame Contigo,' 'Propuesta Indecente' - they aren't featuring anyone but me.
I made the track 'Si Tu Novio Te Deja Sola' before I met Balvin.
People know me for my work with Aventura, and for that, I am grateful.
When you have Julio Iglesias on a song, I think that's golden.
The first Latin music that blew my mind was bumba, which was a Puerto Rican beat.
The Latin urban genre is getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
Let's be honest, 'Ginza' doesn't really have lyrics to speak of. It's a party track - a party for reggaetoneros to come out of the closet.
