Shakira and Fuerza Regida defend the working class and tell off bad bosses everywhere in the new music video for their joint single, “El Jefe” (translated: “The Boss”).

Previous songs of Shakira’s have included elements of regional Mexican music, such as the mariachi trumpet on “Ciega, Sordomuda” and the country-tinged “Te Espero Sentada,” however, this is her first full-blown Mexican song (corrido to be specific).

The collaboration is a reflection of Mexican music’s dominance and influence on Latin music today. In May, Billboard reported that regional Mexican music consumption in the U.S. jumped 42.1% year to date through May 25, outpacing gains in the Latin genre overall, as well as country, dance/electronic, rock and pop, according to Luminate.
