This is ‘El Jefe’, the new song by Shakira and Fuerza Regida with attacks at Piqué

Shakira and Fuerza Regida champion the cause of the working class and deliver a message to bad bosses in their new music video for the collaborative single “El Jefe,” which translates to “The Boss.”

Shakira’s lyrics convey, “You want to escape the neighborhood, you possess all the qualities to become a millionaire, expensive tastes, the mindset, you’re just missing a decent salary,” set against a lively, acoustic guitar-driven melody. Jesus Ortiz Paz, the frontman of Fuerza Regida, joins in with, “Being poor is tough; my mom always told me that education would secure everything, but I studied and nothing changed.”

In the video, Shakira and Fuerza Regida members depict the struggles and endeavors of the working class, including a scene where their heads are displayed on silver platters for men in suits. Shakira herself appears in a striking all-red outfit, riding a horse and participating in a dance celebration alongside Fuerza Regida. The video also features a cameo from songwriter-producer Edgar Barrera, who is the most-nominated artist at the Latin Grammys this year.
