Beyoncé’s Spanish Single Set to Dominate the World
Beyoncé dominates the world stage with her singles |
It feels like global superstar Beyoncé certainly has the
Midas touch. The American singing sensation has spent the better part of a
decade releasing smash hits, but one market in particular proved to be
resistant to her musical charm; the Spanish language market.
It looks like this could all change soon though as Beyoncé
recently released her new single Mi Gente (My People); a remix to raise funds
for the victims of the recent hurricane in Puerto Rico and people from the
other affected areas in the Caribbean. The single will also support the victims
of the Mexican earthquake.
This fact alone would be enough to send Beyoncé into the
Spanish mainstream – not that she was ever considered an unknown – and it comes
on the heels of the Spanish song Despacito becoming the most streamed song in
history.
Music experts believe that Beyoncé singing in Spanish will
inspire more Latino singers to go back to their native language rather than
writing and releasing songs in English.
Forbes predicts that Mi Gente is set to become a smash hit
around the world, helping to spread the vibrant Spanish language to a wide
global audience.
Beyoncé is set to add a touch of her own magic to the party
– ensuring that the Spanish language will cement itself squarely into the minds
of many musical fans across the world and boosting the popularity of learning
Spanish as a second language in the process.
