00:00 We just witnessed this recognition that you were given 30 years of career.
00:07 Yes, right?
00:08 How do you feel?
00:09 I look 20?
00:10 Oh yes, of course!
00:11 Very, very excited, man.
00:12 I hope not.
00:13 It's a joke that the 50-somethings throw us.
00:17 But look, very excited, it was very emotional.
00:21 I didn't expect all that video to be an allusion to my career, since I was a child.
00:31 I couldn't even speak, I didn't know what to say, I just said thank you.
00:34 And in fact, a thank you is very short.
00:36 Thank you, Billboard, for thinking of women and thinking of this dreamy woman for this special night.
00:46 In these years of career, did you imagine a little bit of everything you've lived?
00:51 Well, look, I'm honest.
00:54 I am a woman, that kind of human being that projects in time, that projects in eternity, in the future.
01:03 I knew it was going to be something that could stay in history.
01:07 Because we are human beings, extraordinary beings, as I say, living a human experience.
01:14 But we really are leaving.
01:20 Right now, our skin is here, our body and our mind, but our spirit stays.
01:27 So I think that the spirit of a composer stays through the songs, through the voice, if you are a singer too.
01:35 So, to transcend through that, I saw it, it was a vision that I had since I was a child, without a doubt.
01:42 And how does a person like you, as an artist, as a mother, manage to do so many things at the same time?
01:50 On top of that, compose, sing, dance, take care of you, incredible.
01:53 Well, thank you.
01:55 Look, if it's a titanic job, it's not easy.
02:00 And suddenly the balance is unbalanced, don't you think?
02:04 And it's something that I've had to struggle with, I've had to work every day.
02:12 Because it happens to me that suddenly I say, "Oh, I'm already feeling that this area is missing."
02:21 So I pay special attention and I think that by giving love to each of the areas,
02:26 and attention, time, time is love, love is time.
02:30 I think I manage to keep the boat from moving to the side, sometimes.
02:36 And how do you maintain that beautiful energy?
02:39 Because we also have on Instagram a lady who works with you, who enjoys you so much, how nice.
02:44 Look, I like to have people around me who love me, who take care of me, who respect me.
02:49 And those who don't, I put them aside.
02:52 I don't like people who don't... I'm very respectful of people, of the environment.
02:57 But I also like to be respected.
03:00 And, for example, Tomasita is a person who is, in some way, I have fun.
03:08 Number one, she is a very respectful person with her work.
03:12 She knows that being with an artist is something, let's say, not common.
03:18 Because sometimes you are, sometimes you are not.
03:20 So she also has a great responsibility.
03:22 And I think people like her and my team, we all make a nice joke,
03:28 but because we know what kind of people we are,
03:31 and I look for that kind of people, people who shine, people with a beautiful energy.
03:35 I don't like the bad-vibrant, vibrant people.
03:38 I don't like them. And I feel it later.
03:41 There is everything in the vineyard of the Lord.
03:43 You know, this world is like the jungle.
03:45 There is the wild animal, the cute kitten, everything.
03:50 You have to take care of yourself.
03:52 I get angry, pieces of my soul.
03:54 And what's coming up?
03:55 Well, my tour, Ana Bárbara, which is the tour, Reina Grupera, tour 2024.
04:01 Ana Bárbara with everything, the tour starts in August.
04:05 Other duets are coming. Today we released a duet with María José.
04:09 We will be doing concerts everywhere.
04:14 Stay tuned on my page, anabárbara.com, because there it is.
04:18 anabárbara.com, please.
04:21 It will be full of energy.
04:23 You were talking about energy.
04:25 Group, mariachi, band, dancers, a super production,
04:28 and above all, a lot of nostalgia, a lot of magic through the songs.
04:31 I am very excited about the tour, Reina Grupera Tour,
04:34 because we celebrate the first 30 years of career.
04:37 Let it be 30, 60, 120.
04:39 I hope I get to 100 years.
04:42 I'm going to look very sexy, very old, very sexy.
04:45 [laughs]
