MEET J SALEZ: MEXICO’S RISING VOICE IN BACHATA
Mexican bachata artist J Salez gets personal about love, loss, and stepping into his own with his new single “Si Te Vas.”
Bachata may have its roots in the Dominican Republic, but artists like J Salez are proving the genre’s heart can beat just as strong in unexpected places—like México. In our latest Dimelo305 sit-down, we caught up with the Mexican bachatero to talk about his newest single, “Si Te Vas,” a track drenched in passion, longing, and the unmistakable rhythm that defines the genre.
With a voice that carries both the ache of heartbreak and the warmth of hope, J Salez brings something fresh to the scene—an authenticity shaped by viral beginnings and a deep respect for the music that came before him. From uploading freestyles online to building a growing fanbase across Latin America, his rise has been anything but conventional.
But don’t get it twisted—this isn’t bachata with training wheels. “Si Te Vas” shows that J Salez understands the assignment. The guitar riffs, the emotional delivery, the storytelling—it all hits. And it’s a reminder that bachata isn't just alive; it’s evolving, expanding, and crossing borders.
At Dimelo305, we’re proud to shine a light on voices that represent the richness of our culture and the boldness of our generation. J Salez is doing both. And he’s doing it in key.
Come behind the scenes with us and discover the story, the sound, and the soul behind “Si Te Vas.” Because if you didn’t know Mexico could do bachata—now you do.
