LOS ANGELES, Oct 18 — The video for the Bomba Estéreo track, “Fiesta”, featuring Will Smith has premiered online.

The Colombian band’s song, released earlier this month, is Smith’s first venture back into music after a 10-year break.

In a statement, Bomba Estéreo member Simon Mejia said, “When I was told that Will Smith wanted to collaborate on a remix with Bomba, I couldn’t believe it. This opportunity to work with Will was beyond anything we have dreamed of... It’s just magic.”

According to The Guardian, Smith stumbled upon the Latin, tropical and electronic act on a recent trip to Colombia.

He liked the song so much that he approached the band to ask if he could lay down a few bars in both Spanish and English.

The collaboration marks Smith’s first return to music since his 2005 album, Lost and Found.

Formed in 2005, Bomba Estéreo have performed at major music festivals, including Coachella, Glastonbury and Lollapalooza.

Watch the video below to see if the original Fresh Prince retains his touch.
