Will Smith & Bomba Estereo Share Their Action-Packed Video For "Fiesta (Remix)"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

When Will Smith made his surprise return to hip-hop earlier this month, the world was elated and, to be frank, a bit perplexed. The podium upon which Smith chose to stand upon was the uptempo latin dance cut fiesta, a fiery single from Colombia's Bomba Estereo. The song positively burns, an electric-tinged cumbia-meets-dancehall joint that glides atop an intrepid guitar line. Bomba Estereo initially dropped the single during the cool winter months of 2015, but the track is having a revival this autumn, for obvious Big Willie Style reasons.

Now, the group has shared the official video for "Fiesta (Remix)," which features the Fresh Prince emerging from a shadowy set of robes, coming into full view only as his verse drops and proceeding to rock a club that seems to have blended South American Carnival with The Matrix's underground zion scenes. This is a party we'd certainly love to attend.

The new "Fiesta" squad also shared a behind-the-scenes video detailing the hard work and hijinks that went into making the video, and you can watch the main video below and that bit of immersive deleted extras on the following page.
