Enrique Iglesias, an artist from Spain who enjoys international popularity.

I think very few people in Japan are familiar with Spanish artists.

However, some of you might recognize him, right? That said, while he was born in Spain, he lived in the United States from a young age, so he’s more American in a sense.

Even so, because he has many catchy songs in Spanish, he’s beloved in Latin regions as well.

His song “Bailando ft.

Descemer Bueno, Gente De Zona” is a reggaeton track that lets you experience his catchy appeal.
