Transcript

00:00We're still here with David Bisbal, nominated tonight. Tell us, best pop song. How do you feel?

00:06I'm very happy, especially because I'm going to sing with my friend Carlos Rivera.

00:10I think that union of Spain and Mexico for me is like a wonderful brotherhood with Carlos.

00:17And it gives me a lot of joy to be able to pay tribute at the same time to an iconic Mexican,

00:24as he was and is for me, José José.

00:27So, in that section, there are three great musicians, José José, Vicente Fernández and Juan Gabriel.

00:36The three of them are there, looking at us from the sky.

00:39And it's gratifying, at least, to have traveled through time and met the three of them.

00:45Incredible. Well, since yesterday we saw you in Poti, we were mentioning you off camera,

00:50giving an incredible tribute to the person of the year, Carlos Vives.

00:54Well, it was amazing to pay tribute to Carlos Vives.

00:58I got to sing a legendary song, Fruta Fresca.

01:01Also, with people from the area, we try to give them all the energy in the world

01:05so that people would dance and sing with us.

01:08And, above all, go with energy to meet here in this wonderful Red Carpet of the Latin Grammys.

01:14David, they told me that a new Christmas album is coming out tonight.

01:18Tell us a little bit about the album, about the inspiration, what can we expect?

01:22The truth is that it's a pretty serious album in terms of production.

01:26It's one of the best albums I've been able to enjoy throughout my career

01:31with the producer, arranger, pianist, Cheche Alara.

01:36It's been a dream to be in each of the recording sessions,

01:39the strings, the mariachi, the metal, the bass, the drums...

01:44Absolutely with everyone, it's been a wonderful experience.

01:48And I wanted to leave a legacy for the rest of my life,

01:51a classic Christmas album, American, also Latin American.

01:54And, of course, the rumba de mi tierra, from Spain, which will also be present in this album.

01:59We are celebrating 25 years of the Latin Grammys.

02:02How do you see your career from here to 25 years?

02:05Well, I'll be old, really.

02:07But, if I keep taking care of myself, I'll be fighting.

02:12That's the most important thing.

02:15A kiss to Billboard, I love you so much.

02:17And thank you for being there, always present. I love you.
