In which he spits in Spanglish.

The last time Will Smith released new music was in 2005. Now, out of nowhere, he appears in a remix of Columbian band Bomba Estereo's "Fiesta." Will gamely raps in Spanglish—"Hola, mamacita (oh yeah) / go get me a beer-a (oh yeah)." Moreover, he spits of wanting his own Sofia Vergara, who is indeed Columbian, though he mispronounces her name.

Bomba Estereo was founded in 2005, so when Will released his fourth album Lost and Found. (The only time he's addressed his musical roots since is when he raps the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme or shows the evolution of hip-hop dancing on late night TV.) What is even more impressive is that Will found the group, not the other way around.

"When I was told that Will Smith wanted to collaborate on a remix with Bomba, I couldn't believe it," founder Simon Mejia says. "This opportunity to work with Will was beyond anything we have dreamed of."
