J. Balvin released the new song “Ahora” in February 2018.
“Ahora,” meaning “Now” in English, was released on February 26, 2018. It was recorded by Colombian reggaeton singer J. Balvin and became part of the build-up to his album Vibras, released later that year.
The song arrived during a major international period for Balvin. He had recently gained worldwide attention through hits such as “Mi Gente” and “Machika,” helping bring Spanish-language reggaeton and Latin urban music further into the global pop mainstream.
J. Balvin’s professional name comes from his first initial and middle name, José Álvaro Osorio Balvín. A common mix-up is treating “Ahora” as an album title or confusing it with similarly named songs by other Latin artists. In this question, the artist—not a featured guest or producer—is J. Balvin.
