00:00Hi, how are you? I'm Octavio Cuadras and I'm in Pescando Preguntas.
00:08Look at my eyes.
00:10This one.
00:13What would be a moment when you were excited to see an artist?
00:20I swear it was yesterday.
00:22Yesterday I wanted to meet Arcangel.
00:25But I couldn't, I had work in Los Angeles.
00:28So I couldn't make it.
00:30I made it until today.
00:32But I was very excited.
00:35I said, we're going to be at the same event.
00:38But it didn't happen.
00:39I know it will happen soon.
00:43The next one is...
00:45What is the craziest show you've ever done?
00:49Wow, I don't know.
00:51Look, this is real.
00:53When I was 12 years old, I started working in music.
00:59I started when I was very young.
01:01So when my cousins played band instruments.
01:05Trombone and trumpet.
01:07And I played the bass drums.
01:09So they called us right away from my house.
01:12And we went there right away and they were making a meal.
01:15So that was the most exotic show.
01:16I played with the bass drums and they with the trumpets.
01:19And they gave us money in a cap.
01:22And that was my first music salary and my first show.
01:25And it was the craziest because I was playing the bass drums.
01:27So I think that's the craziest thing I've done in a show.
01:32They don't even move when I move them like this, right?
01:36When was the first time in your career that you thought, I did it?
01:40Wow.
01:42They are very emotional.
01:44Well, honestly, today is a very special day.
01:50It's the first time I perform in Las Vegas.
01:53It's the first time I perform like this, with my whole group.
01:58I had come here to the United States to sing, but I was alone.
02:02So I just got the visas for my whole team.
02:06And my brother comes with them.
02:08My brother plays the requinto with me.
02:10So he and I started when we were kids.
02:13And right now we got here, we were doing the soundcheck.
02:16And we turned around to see the buildings.
02:18We came from a ranch called Navolato.
02:20So I turned to him and said, we are in Las Vegas.
02:23And he said, yes, we did it.
