00:00And on that street lives the one that I love
00:06How beautiful!
00:07I would like to applaud the women who are here
00:13because we are all working together and supporting each other
00:18which also in the industry and globally
00:25Women always have this thing of being competition
00:38Good morning everyone
00:39As you can see, our panelists are not shy
00:43Oh no!
00:44To start
00:45If we are shy, we are not here
00:47If we were shy
00:49But well, I wanted to make a short introduction
00:53First of all, it is an honor for me to be here with the four of you
00:56because I admire all of you
01:00You are spectacular women who have achieved many things
01:05Each of you is in a different moment in your career
01:08and you share as a common denominator
01:13the heritage of a very important musical legacy
01:18and you have also dared to be in a genre that is generally dominated by men
01:25except for the grandmother from here, Majo, and the mother of Chiquis
01:33In general, it is a complicated genre
01:37and it is a genre that is very dominated by men
01:40and these girls are there, fighting, reaching places where few women have reached
01:47So, the first question is
01:50Did it help you to be daughters and granddaughters of such important and representative artists in the genre?
02:05I think it definitely helps you
02:07because you have a very special affection
02:12In my case, for example, as I see it
02:14suddenly I am in a show and they approach me
02:17and hug me and greet me and tell me
02:19I have listened to the music of your grandparents
02:21I went to your grandparents' shows
02:23They even tell me, I worked with your grandparents
02:25I say that my grandparents were teleported
02:28because I don't know how they did it to meet so many people
02:32So, I think it does help you in that part
02:35There is also a lot of demand, there are many comparisons
02:42I don't know how I achieved something of God, of the life, of the universe
02:47If not, I wouldn't be here
02:50As far as...
02:52A long time ago, I was clear that my path was mine
02:56and that it was to look forward or inward, but not to the sides
03:00and to look with a lot of respect at my grandparents and their trajectory
03:03but that was their trajectory
03:05and that I had to work on mine
03:07But of course it helps you
03:09I think it is important to say it
03:11because it would also be very unfair
03:14In some way...
03:18It would be very unfair not to recognize it
03:21In some way, that you have that name
03:23or that you have a last name
03:25where your family has done important things in the industry
03:29Of course it makes the media look at you in some way
03:32That doesn't mean, and I always say it
03:35that the public will stay with you
03:37that you will sell tickets
03:39that they will listen to your songs
03:41That's your job
03:43and sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't
03:46Of course, well...
03:48I totally agree
03:50Right, and I also feel that we inherited the affection
03:55and it is something very beautiful to see it reflected with the people
03:58who come up to me and hug me and cry
04:01and say, you remind me so much of your grandfather
04:03and wow, I don't know what
04:05I think it is something very beautiful
04:08but it has been difficult
04:10I mean, for me, the ones who believed in me
04:13the ones who thought it wasn't just a whim
04:16that people knew that I am really working
04:21that I have been working alone for 10 years
04:24without anyone helping me from my family
04:26is something I have to show
04:28and I like to have this kind of spaces
04:30so that people know me
04:32know that it hasn't been easy for me
04:34that I have worked with my own hands
04:37that no one has put anything on a silver platter
04:40because if you don't, you don't enjoy it
04:43and just my grandfather himself used to tell me
04:47that success is given to you by work
04:49and not by luck
04:51and it's just like my mantra that I always have
04:54and yes, it can help you in some things
04:56but in some things it doesn't
04:58and you always have to have this thought
05:02that you have to be very present
05:04that you have to exceed the expectations
05:06of the people who are expecting a lot from you
05:09based on where you come from
05:12so it's also about honoring the family
05:17where you come from
05:19and putting the name of Mexico high
05:22and more as a woman
05:25Yes, beautiful
05:30My first time meeting Camila in person
05:32She's my friend on Instagram
05:35No, the truth is that yes
05:37I think we all agree that it's a great honor
05:40to be a granddaughter of
05:44but yes, I also wanted from the beginning
05:47to mark my own
05:49and say, look, these are my own experiences
05:51they compared me a lot
05:53and in a way I felt a lot of pressure
05:55like they didn't give me the opportunity
05:57because at the beginning of my career
05:59I didn't sing like them
06:01or they compared me a lot
06:03and I said, I don't care what they say
06:05I want to do my thing
06:07and I'm going to do it with a lot of love
06:09and I'm not going to stop doing it
06:11because of what they say
06:13so when I lost that fear
06:15things changed for me
06:17but of course it's a great honor
06:19and it will always be a great pride for me
06:21and I want to do my thing
06:23and I imagine you do too
06:26It's a great responsibility
06:30but at the same time
06:32I think what they said
06:34is that we have to go out for ourselves
06:36at the end of everything
06:38it's the audience that decides
06:41if you continue or not in this career
06:44you continue with your proposal
06:47and well, it's the audience that decides
06:50but I feel
06:52and I think it's the first time I could relate
06:54to people where it's like
06:56I feel
06:58you can't really get out of that
07:00or in my case
07:02I feel like
07:04I will never stop being
07:06a granddaughter of
07:08it's always something
07:10you can't separate from
07:12but you take it
07:14as the most positive
07:16that love of the audience
07:18and all the beautiful things
07:20that it brings
07:22and also the difficult things
07:24the comparisons
07:26I would just like to add one thing
07:28that I have said in private to Chiquis
07:30but I would like to say it
07:32in this panel
07:36something that
07:38I admire all the girls a lot
07:40however to Chiquis
07:42I have a very special admiration
07:44because her mom
07:46is Jenny Rivera
07:48and I told her
07:50you are Chiquis
07:52you are not the daughter of
07:54it's an honor that you are the daughter of
07:56but
07:58the truth is Chiquis
08:00and that she has achieved that
08:02with that motherly woman
08:04that she had
08:06it's...
08:08my skin turns red because
08:10really, suddenly
08:12one with those giant grandparents
08:14but imagine being the daughter
08:16of Chiquis, sorry
08:18of Jenny Rivera
08:20that she came and made them
08:22sorry, but all like this
08:24that hey, I'm going to sing
08:26and I'm going to them
08:28with that strength and all
08:30and she came and your mom would be very proud
08:32the Torbellino that is Chiquis
08:34to step hard
08:36and you have opened
08:38a lot of paths for us Chiquis
08:40I think you haven't realized that
08:42you step so firmly on the stages
08:44and with that strength
08:46that I admire women a lot
08:48it's incredible that you are not
08:50you are because you will always be
08:52the daughter of the huge
08:54Jenny Rivera, but you are Chiquis
08:56thank you very much
08:58and that's beautiful
09:00and it's super special
09:02I love you very much
09:04thank you very much
09:06now it's time
09:08when you were little
09:10or the days that you said
09:12well, after seeing
09:14your mom, your parents
09:16your grandparents working a lot
09:18not having Christmas
09:20not having
09:22making a lot of sacrifices
09:24going on tour
09:26people in general think
09:28no, of course, it's super fun to tour
09:30but we all know that no
09:32that there are a lot of sacrifices and you leave a lot to the family
09:34sometimes, when was the moment
09:36of little ones, of older ones
09:38that said, I also want to be
09:40I want to sing and I want to bring my music
09:42to the world
09:44let's start with Chiquis
09:46when was it?
09:48the first time was when I was 10
09:50that I went on stage
09:52in a competition that my grandfather had
09:54in a place called El Farallon
09:56in Paramount, there in Los Angeles
09:58and when I heard the applause
10:00and I felt that being on stage
10:02I said, I want to do this
10:04but through the years
10:06I gave that album to my grandfather
10:08this racing album
10:10that I never gave him
10:12but well, there's still time
10:14that's when I said
10:16I like this
10:18but I was next to my mom and I saw a lot of things
10:20and it scared me a lot
10:22and I liked being behind the cameras
10:24but with the years, what you have
10:26that passion, it never goes away
10:28and it was like in 2012
10:30early 2012
10:32that I said, I want to try it
10:34because I don't want to live with the
10:36if I had done it, I'm going to try it
10:38and if it doesn't work, well, I know
10:40but it was the first time when I was 10
10:42and I sang La Chacalosa, a song by my mom
10:44and I won second place
10:46that's when I said, I like this
10:48and you Camila?
10:50I, well
10:52I also studied in the United States
10:54once
10:56and I didn't know anyone
10:58in school
11:00and I loved singing
11:02because I was born singing
11:04but for me
11:06I had never sung so
11:08I mean, I did sing
11:10in school things
11:12but not
11:14in a foreign audience
11:16and well
11:18there were kids that didn't treat me
11:20very well, that didn't listen to me
11:22and I'm going to do a casting
11:24for a play
11:26and the casting
11:28was singing
11:30and I had to sing in front of all the kids
11:32that didn't listen to me
11:34and from there they started to treat me differently
11:36and they started to tell me
11:38you sing so well, wow
11:40and they wanted to be my friends
11:42and I was like, I think I want to be a singer
11:44and I saw the way
11:46that changed
11:48the people around me
11:50and I said
11:52how nice, how cool
11:54and of course I grew up watching my dad
11:56sing and for me it was
11:58incredible, I'm his
12:00super fan too
12:02so how he connects, how he sings
12:04how he transmits, my grandfather
12:06transmits too, incredible
12:08and he has a way of
12:10developing himself in the stage
12:12that makes people
12:14connect with his music
12:16with his soul
12:18and it was something that
12:20touched me a lot because I'm
12:22just like that, I love
12:24developing myself in the stage
12:26and connecting with the people, with my music
12:28with the stories of my songs and everything
12:30and yes, it was
12:32something that I admired a lot
12:34and in the moment
12:36that my dad gave me the opportunity
12:38to debut with him
12:40in Las Vegas
12:42I realized the monster
12:44that he had
12:46that he was the giant MDM
12:48with thousands of people
12:50the best microphone
12:52the best sound team
12:54mariachi
12:56so I said, wow, how did my dad
12:58do to reach
13:00this point
13:02that was everything he went through
13:04and it was that
13:06my dad told me, no, I'm going to support you
13:08in everything, and I said, you know
13:10thank you for this opportunity
13:12to sing with you and share the stage
13:14with you, but I think
13:16I need to know how you did it
13:18I need to start from scratch
13:20to know how you got here
13:22I mean, I earned it
13:24with my work
13:26and it was that I started
13:28to see, because I said
13:30I hope it's not a whim of mine
13:32that I just want to be a singer
13:34because I want to be a singer and that's it
13:36no, I want to know what it is
13:38to be a singer from scratch
13:40for me to build my own too
13:42so it was that I decided
13:44to start from when I was 18
13:46all my career with my little hands
13:48to work
13:50I also have to add
13:52that you're a mom and you work too
13:54and I'm a mom, yes
13:56I'm a mom, I'm a wife
13:58and I'm a singer, come on
14:00and you can be a mariachi singer
14:04and you Lupita?
14:06well, for me
14:08I think it was maybe a little different
14:10because
14:12well, Father Infante died
14:14my dad was only 7 years old
14:16and my dad
14:18he was also an actor
14:20he was a singer
14:22but
14:24I feel like I grew up
14:26very far from all the industry
14:28from the facade
14:30from all those things
14:32and
14:34when I got closer
14:36with my dad
14:38I watched him in his presentations
14:42and he died
14:44in 2009
14:46and through his death
14:48I realized that music
14:50is what really
14:52brings me closer
14:54to what is
14:56my legacy
14:58what is Father Infante
15:00what is my last name
15:02all those things
15:04is music
15:06because my dad is no longer there
15:08my grandfather has been gone for a long time
15:10so for me
15:12it was like
15:14to follow this path
15:16because I feel like there is a lot for me
15:18to find and connect with
15:20also Mexico
15:22I am from Los Angeles
15:24also those roots
15:26it is very important
15:28to have that closeness
15:30and I feel that through music
15:32is where I find
15:34that refuge, that connection
15:36all that
15:38beautiful
15:40I think in my case
15:42very particular
15:44very particular
15:46because I have always said that
15:48music chose me
15:50and not music
15:52since I was very little
15:54I was babbling and my mom said
15:56that I was already singing
15:58really
16:00this is something I have already talked about
16:04I know my family
16:06of singers
16:08my father's family
16:10they were 8 years old
16:12so I did not have that
16:14let's say since I was little
16:16to see them sing
16:18because also when
16:20I meet my dad
16:22when I meet my uncle who sings
16:24when I meet my grandparents
16:26I say I was 8 years old
16:28and my dad
16:30was singing but not so much really
16:32because he chose it
16:34that is also important
16:36that I would like to say
16:38another story, another path
16:40he liked it a lot
16:42when he was a child
16:44but then he chose
16:46another type of life
16:48even though he is a meloman completely
16:50so when I
16:52going back to
16:54meet my family
16:56my father's family
16:58when I turn 8
17:00it was very interesting because
17:02everything makes sense to me
17:04now I understand why I have this
17:06attitude of singing
17:08and why I love it
17:10and I go crazy
17:12and in all the festivals
17:14I signed up
17:16I have a very cool story
17:18when we were in Mexico
17:20here it would be freeway
17:22in Mexico we call it periferico
17:24the periferico
17:26there was the
17:28van of a TV
17:30very famous in Mexico
17:32passing by
17:34they had cables
17:36but I connected it
17:38with the TV
17:40I told my mom
17:42I would be 6 or 7 years old
17:44Mom, close the window
17:46so I can hear you sing
17:48because it was
17:50the periferico and we were standing
17:52like when it happens here with the freeway
17:54standing in Mexico City
17:56and then beautiful
17:58my mom
18:00close the window
18:02she looked me in the eye
18:04she said
18:06I know you are from this company
18:08my daughter sings
18:10and she wants to sing to you
18:12so from car to car
18:14I started singing to you
18:16since
18:18I like that story a lot
18:20because it talks about
18:22the beauty of my mother
18:24I know that obviously
18:26they are not going to hire her
18:28but it's ok
18:30let her have her dream
18:32and when I met
18:34my family of singers
18:36everything made a lot of sense
18:38and it was beautiful
18:40because it was like
18:42ok, that's why I'm so obsessed
18:46that's why I'm so obsessed
18:48yes
18:50what beautiful stories
18:52all of them
18:54yes, all very special
18:56and have you ever thought
18:58this is very difficult
19:00what I want is
19:02I don't know
19:04to work in something else
19:06it doesn't matter how difficult
19:08it motivates me when it gets difficult
19:10because I feel like
19:12oh yes, there I go
19:16I think the same thing happens to you
19:18definitely
19:20yes, it happens to us
19:22but yes, just
19:24for me
19:26I do say that
19:28as Orozco says
19:30if I hadn't been a painter
19:32I would have been a painter
19:34if I hadn't been a singer
19:36I would have been a singer
19:38because I'm useless
19:40so there's no way
19:42I had to be a singer
19:44it's so cool what you say
19:46I'm going to copy that phrase
19:48because
19:50suddenly they tell you
19:52I don't know if you've been asked
19:54what would you have dedicated yourself to
19:56and sometimes
19:58I was afraid of sounding like a clown
20:00because I would say
20:02I swear I can't think of anything else
20:04I can't think of anything else
20:06the interesting thing is that
20:08they never got tired
20:10because you've had a lot of challenges
20:12really
20:14all of them of course
20:16but you've really had
20:18a very important challenge
20:20because you didn't have your mom
20:22and it was a very difficult path
20:24that many times I wanted to throw the towel
20:26many times
20:28but I got to a point where I said
20:30I like what I do, I like music
20:32since I was little
20:34dancing, listening to regional music
20:36Mexican music
20:38I'm going to do it because I want to
20:40and I'm leaving when God says it's time
20:42when I want to, not because of what they say
20:44but it took a long time
20:46to get to that point
20:48but of course I said
20:50they criticize a lot
20:52and now I look back
20:54and I'm glad I didn't give up
20:56it's something that my mom instilled in me
20:58that I also saw that it was very difficult for her
21:00and not only for her
21:02but for all women
21:04it's difficult because
21:06we shouldn't get too sexy
21:08because we sing that kind of music
21:10especially the kind of music I sing
21:12but I said, you know what?
21:14I'm going to do it
21:16like who likes it
21:18I don't know if I'm interrupting
21:20but what you said caught my attention
21:22why do you do this?
21:24why are you singing this?
21:26I think specifically with women
21:28there's always a topic
21:30that they always want to question
21:32what we do as women
21:34and it's incredible
21:36that also on stage
21:38why do you dress like that?
21:40it happens to me
21:42but I see it as a topic
21:44I'm going to do it
21:46and you're never going to finish
21:48it's impossible
21:50why do you dress like that?
21:52or why do you move like that?
21:54because I move very crazy on stage
21:56or you don't respect mariachi
21:58because who dances?
22:00so
22:02that's very crazy
22:04because I'm going to say it like that
22:06and it's not something against men
22:08it's not a competition
22:10but when do you question a man like that?
22:12really
22:14of course
22:16why is he wearing that suit?
22:18why does he have tattoos here?
22:20and why does he say pendejo
22:22on stage?
22:24and why
22:26does he fall drunk?
22:28no one says that
22:30and suddenly I do it like this
22:34that was very provocative
22:38I love how you move on stage
22:40and the outfit last night
22:42spectacular
22:44I told you, I approve
22:46I interrupted you
22:48but I think it's very important
22:50to point that out
22:52but it's ok, because women can do it
22:54obviously you can
22:56and you have to be
22:58and express yourself on stage
23:00like we want you to
23:02and you are
23:04and you are
23:06and you can stand it
23:08and the cheese
23:10and the feather
23:12of course
23:14and also
23:16it's more challenging
23:18to be a woman on stage
23:20because a man
23:22practically takes a shower,
23:24does his hair and goes on stage
23:26a woman is usually expected
23:28to be much more elegant
23:30much more make-up
23:32if not, they say
23:34she's a very good singer
23:36but she's a bit old
23:38it's very difficult
23:40to work with a woman
23:42I think that in real life
23:44it shouldn't be like that
23:46but this machismo
23:48also happens on stage
23:50and it's real
23:52you live it
23:54it happened to me
23:56and I want to share it with all the women
23:58that want to sing ranchera
24:00or whatever
24:02because the other day I was watching a video
24:04of Elsa and Elmar
24:06and she said
24:08I don't know what to do
24:10I don't know what to wear
24:12I'm very down
24:14I don't know if I have to be more provocative
24:16I don't remember, I'm paraphrasing
24:18but she said something like that
24:20and it's true
24:22the thing with women
24:24it's like
24:26you're not too much
24:28but
24:30a bit calmer
24:32or you're too arrogant
24:34and if you have a lot of boyfriends
24:36I don't have that many
24:38but
24:40what a womanizer
24:42I don't know how to say it
24:44but the men
24:46wow, you're a spectacular man
24:48cemental
24:50it's true
24:52so
24:54I'm going to say it like this
24:56I don't know if it's a very familiar panel
24:58but women are golfers
25:00men are cementals
25:02women are complicated
25:04men are bastards
25:06you know?
25:08and that happens on stage
25:10of course
25:12I've learned to say
25:14you know what? It's going to be me
25:16I'm going to say something
25:18sorry to the men
25:20but I'm going to say something that's typical
25:22if one day you go on stage
25:24and something doesn't work
25:26and you get nervous
25:28it must be PMS
25:30it's hormonal
25:32and I'm like
25:34once I was asked
25:36are you on your period?
25:40I said no
25:42and that's cool
25:44because I think it's the deconstruction
25:46of a character
25:48and don't get me wrong
25:50I think there are functions of women
25:52that are beautiful
25:54and of men that are beautiful
25:56I love my femininity
25:58but if a man wants to explore
26:00his feminine side
26:02that's also cool
26:04I don't want it to be interpreted
26:06as a fight against men
26:08it's not a fight against men
26:10men are wonderful
26:12men are wonderful
26:16how do we enjoy them?
26:18more my man
26:20me too
26:26I also wanted to ask
26:28I think the four of you
26:30are in different moments in your career
26:32all of you have been nominated
26:34for Latin Grammys
26:36all of you have won Latin Grammys
26:38well not all of them but Chiquis
26:40Chiquis has won Latin Grammys
26:42she's been nominated for a Grammy
26:44all of you
26:46I think
26:48at least from the outside
26:50I feel that you are not only singers
26:52you are singers
26:54you are involved in your career
26:56you are producers
26:58you listen
27:00you participate a lot
27:02in music
27:04and in your art
27:06you don't go to the last moment
27:08and learn the song
27:10on the contrary
27:12I would like you to tell me
27:14when do you feel you are
27:16and where would you like to reach
27:18who do you admire
27:20in the genre
27:22or not in the genre
27:24any artist
27:26Lupita
27:28well
27:30we do the mariachi genre
27:32I think it's
27:34something very beautiful
27:36very traditional
27:38sometimes it's very difficult to break the tradition
27:40because you have to stay
27:42and respect the genre
27:44but now
27:46in this next album that I'm doing
27:48I'm a producer
27:50I'm very involved
27:52in putting everything together
27:54working with my musicians
27:56writing all the songs
27:58talking about the themes
28:00that I feel are important
28:02for me
28:04and also changing
28:06certain elements
28:08and finding
28:10and looking for that sound
28:12that still
28:14I don't know
28:16has that thing
28:18that I feel
28:20that I'm still respecting the mariachi
28:22but you also have to move it
28:24to something new
28:26something different, something beautiful
28:28and well, that's what I'm doing
28:30and I hope
28:32that it comes out
28:34I'm going to invite
28:36each of these
28:38beautiful ladies
28:40to join me in a song
28:42of course
28:44it's been recorded
28:46thank you for inviting us
28:48it would be an honor
28:50but I'm very happy
28:52to have that control
28:54of your artistry
28:56I think that's important
28:58it's important to be super
29:00to be able to defend what we do
29:02on stage and in interviews
29:04we have to be, for me it's
29:06extremely important to be
29:08the last yes
29:10because it's my career, it's my image
29:12obviously I can't do it in a big team
29:14I have a big team that I respect a lot
29:16and that respects my vision
29:18right now I feel that
29:20I've reached a point in my career
29:22where I really do want to respect
29:24the line, the foundation of what
29:26Mexican music is, but also
29:28not to put myself in a box
29:30not to put myself in a box and say I want to try it
29:32because there's a lot of power in taking risks
29:34in our music, it's our art, it's how we express ourselves
29:36so right now more than ever
29:38I say I'm going to do it
29:40I don't know, I got here, I think it was
29:42two years ago, with my album
29:44Abeja Reina, that I said I'm from here
29:46it was years
29:48to get to that point of saying I'm going to do it
29:50and undo it and do what I want because
29:52there's a lot of other things I want to do
29:54but always with music
29:56it's what I was born with
29:58so I do feel very
30:00very proud
30:02of what we've been able to do
30:04but more than anything
30:06of how I feel as a woman in my genre
30:08but it's important
30:10to be in everything, in the photos
30:12in everything to say
30:14yes, I did it
30:16or in the future to say I didn't like it that much
30:18because it happened to me too
30:20but from there you learn
30:22but you did it
30:24but I did it
30:26definitely
30:28and also what I like a lot
30:30in my project
30:32also connecting
30:34with the new generations
30:36because it inspires me a lot
30:38my daughter, I want her to grow up
30:40with a mom
30:42that has no limits
30:44that can decide everything in her life
30:46and that I'm a working woman
30:48because I also want her
30:50when she grows up to work
30:52and have this culture of work
30:54like I always had it so present
30:56and I really like to think about
30:58her generation and the generations that follow
31:00and I also like
31:02a lot to have my project
31:04timeless
31:06but giving a nod
31:08to the current message
31:10to the generation that listens to you
31:12consumes you
31:14and that's what I've tried to do
31:16a more fresh mariachi
31:18more for the new generations
31:20and in that
31:22I'm in
31:24And you?
31:26Right now what's coming
31:28and I think it's something
31:30that we're all sharing
31:32is to explore
31:34with a lot of respect
31:36when I say respect to the genre
31:38in this case my genre is mariachi
31:40for me respect is to do it with love
31:42not because
31:44I want to hit
31:46not because I want to follow the trends
31:48and I really liked
31:50a concert
31:52of Peso Pluma
31:54and I listened to the instrumentation
31:56and I went crazy
31:58I said I don't know how but I have to
32:00merge the instruments
32:02of the tumbado with the mariachi
32:04because I loved it
32:06that's the truth, that's the real story
32:08of how the mariachi tumbado came out
32:10which is the name of the album that I'm going to release
32:12the first song came out
32:14which is Aún Así Te Vas
32:16every month a new song will come out
32:18from here in April
32:20and yes
32:22it's very important
32:24with that respect and with that love
32:26but we allow ourselves
32:28to be creative
32:30because if not
32:32I think
32:34you feel frustrated
32:36when you don't explore
32:38and as you say
32:40Chiquis, now it happens to me
32:42that it's the same
32:44I have a great team
32:46I'm very proud of who I'm working with
32:48however as you say
32:50it comes from me
32:52I think it's very good
32:54because if it's a success
32:56well
32:58in Spanish the word
33:00embrace it
33:02honors it
33:04you take it
33:06it's part of you
33:08and if it's a mistake
33:10also say this mistake
33:12I did it but I did it
33:14because I think it would be much more frustrating
33:16to say the label told me
33:18to do this
33:20and it didn't work
33:22and I didn't even like it
33:24Sorry, knowing the four of you
33:26I think the label doesn't say much
33:30we let ourselves be guided
33:32because
33:34Hi, I'm glad to see you
33:36what have you thought this time?
33:38I let myself be guided
33:40in the marketing part
33:42because it's something
33:44I have no idea
33:46but in the art part
33:48you have your vision
33:50and you want to share
33:52your vision
33:54and I would like
33:56people who are watching this
33:58to dedicate themselves to music
34:00or rather
34:02dedicate themselves to music
34:04to have that dream
34:06you have something here
34:08that I call an inner fire
34:10that knows where it has to go
34:12and suddenly
34:14we corrupt ourselves a little
34:16and we are a little unfaithful
34:18to ourselves
34:20for wanting to be
34:22well, there is an opportunity
34:24here
34:26no
34:28fear of failure
34:30exactly
34:32I was watching an interview with Kobe Bryant
34:34I really like watching motivational interviews
34:36and he said that a lot of people
34:38are thinking
34:40before about the failure
34:42than about the success
34:44that you can achieve
34:46so you can advance
34:48and if it was a failure
34:50you always have another
34:52and another
34:54and another
34:56and another
34:58and another opportunity
35:00to do things
35:02but be honest
35:04what you are doing
35:06be honest
35:08what you are saying is so beautiful
35:10I think that in reality
35:12each one of them
35:14in their moment
35:16and in their genre
35:18not to mention your mom
35:20she broke all the possible
35:22molds that existed
35:24in the Mexican regional music
35:26a woman making that music
35:28and well
35:30a beast
35:32with ovaries
35:34that left us all to say
35:36yes, women can
35:38and she didn't take
35:40a no
35:42as an answer
35:44she always said
35:46if you don't open this door
35:48I will go through the window
35:50but I will go in
35:52if I wasn't a daughter
35:54I would still be a fan
35:56of that great woman
35:58and what she left
36:00absolutely
36:02but I think that each one
36:04not to mention
36:06her grandparents
36:08your mom, your grandpa
36:10all of them broke
36:12and changed
36:14and were new
36:16I will give you a brief example
36:18my grandpa
36:20was singing
36:22as a tenor, as an opera
36:24and suddenly he said
36:26no, mine is
36:28mine are the rancheras
36:30and he faced
36:32many difficulties
36:34because there were many people who said
36:36please
36:38how are you going to sing rancheras?
36:40you have to say it too
36:42suddenly it's a genre
36:44that was very punished
36:46and very
36:48what is this word?
36:50marginalized
36:52marginalized
36:54what is that?
36:56and I love it
36:58and I thank life so much
37:00to be living in a moment
37:02where not only that doesn't exist anymore
37:04but we embrace our genres
37:06and where Mexican music
37:08is in the global charts
37:10it's like
37:12but that couldn't have happened
37:14if we hadn't removed those labels
37:16and those
37:18prejudices
37:20so absurd
37:22because in the end it's our music
37:24it's our culture
37:26and the only thing we have to feel
37:28is a lot of pride
37:30absolutely
37:32well
37:34the truth is that
37:36each one of you
37:38I know it's not
37:40wonderful to be the daughter of
37:42or granddaughter of sometimes
37:44because it seems that it takes away your courage
37:46but really coming from those who come
37:48100%
37:50it adds to them
37:52because each one of your parents
37:54or grandparents
37:56have really been
37:58broken with a lot
38:00yes, yes, yes
38:06I'm going to give you a quick example
38:08because time is running out
38:10I'm going to give you a quick example
38:12when I was starting to make my music
38:14what I had a lot in mind
38:16was like
38:18they are going to say that I'm singing
38:20because my whole family sings
38:22so I was going to take off
38:24I was going to come out as a majo
38:26so I was in the production
38:28in the studio recording
38:30and I told the producer
38:32with whom I was working
38:34and he told me something
38:36that I will never forget
38:38he said, you know what, if you do that
38:40it's denying them
38:42it's denying your people
38:44and he planted me
38:46and I saw it from another perspective
38:48completely different
38:50I thought, well
38:52maybe there will be people who will say
38:54he is doing it just because his family does it
38:56I can't control the world
38:58no
39:00but I said, of course
39:02how am I going to deny Don Antonio Aguilar
39:04how am I going to deny Flor Silvestre
39:06that woman
39:08a super man
39:10with all the passion in the world
39:12dedicating himself
39:14and with all the humility
39:16to his music
39:18and it's very interesting
39:20we could talk for hours about this
39:22we could talk for 100 years
39:24we have just a little bit of time
39:26I'm not going to talk
39:28because I'm embarrassed
39:30but the truth is
39:32you don't know how happy I am
39:34to be talking to you
39:36because you are four women
39:38so admirable
39:40and so important
39:42in what you are doing
39:44and changing something
39:46a genre that was almost masculine
39:48and yet you are changing it
39:50in a beautiful way
39:52would you like to add something girls?
39:54well
39:56let's see what comes to me
39:58I'm just thinking about your grandfather's song
40:00and for that street
40:02that I live
40:04and this song comes to me
40:06how beautiful
40:08I would like to applaud
40:10the women who are here
40:12because
40:14we are all working together
40:16and supporting each other
40:18which also in the industry
40:20and
40:22globally
40:24the women
40:26always had this
40:28competition
40:30and treating each other badly
40:32and now
40:34there were few spaces and they had to create
40:36that competition
40:38and this
40:40of joining and working together
40:42I feel it's something very important
40:44I feel we also give more opportunities
40:46to the women
40:48who want to dedicate themselves
40:50to this career
40:52and I'm happy
40:54that many people
40:56were used to
40:58the Fernandez
41:00the charro
41:02singing mariachi
41:04and now my tour is called
41:06La Fernandez
41:08I'm the first woman
41:10who sings
41:12mariachi
41:14dressed as charra
41:16I love mariachi
41:18and it's a moment
41:20and a message
41:22that I would like to transcend
41:24and that people
41:26have a culture
41:28of listening to the artist
41:30for his music and his art
41:32and not for the genre
41:34and that's what I feel is changing
41:36and that's something very important
41:38I admire you very much
41:40and congratulations for everything
41:42and how good that the new generation
41:44is
41:46very good
41:48and you?
41:50would you like to add something?
41:52I'm a fan of each one of you
41:54I love your artistry
41:56each one
41:58has a different
42:00magical power
42:02that I admire a lot
42:04and it was an honor to be here with you
42:06to share this space
42:08thank you very much
42:10and I wish you all the success in the world
42:12I love to see you
42:14keep climbing and keep fighting
42:16for your dreams
42:18I love that
42:20apart from being so beautiful
42:22they are very beautiful
42:24they are very beautiful
42:26and that's very important
42:28in this industry
42:30to always have that in your heart
42:32and not let that change you
