00:00Yes, we have a song with Fariana, very nice, so go listen to it on my YouTube channel and on my digital platforms.
00:08It's a Mexican-Northern song, very nice, something we've never done before.
00:13And Champeta, you've never done Champeta too?
00:15We did Champeta too, with a Colombian artist, Mr. Black, and we're working on a lot of things.
00:22This is a special year.
00:25Lenier, you have a tattoo, I saw the LBMA here, what's that? Are those your initials?
00:31Well, incredibly, this is a slogan that Tayo always says, an artist that we lost a short time ago.
00:41But after I tattooed it, I analyzed it and it's the initials of my name too.
00:47But after I did it, I hadn't realized it.
00:50My name is Álvaro Lenier Mesa Basurto.
00:54And what did the tiger say?
00:57That it's the best in the world.
01:00I love it.
01:02Lenier, now that you mention the tiger, I want to know what you think of this new movement, of the distribution.
01:08We're seeing a lot of artists that have gone viral, Bebeshito, Mauel, people from the area are also making music.
01:15What do you feel about this new movement that's coming out of Jóvenes Cubanos?
01:18It's a movement that's being defended in Cuba and all over the world.
01:24And all the new movements that come out in the genre of music, it's music.
01:29So you have to support everything.
01:31I've also done distribution and what has to be done is done for the music.
01:35Just like the Dembow that came out in the Dominican Republic.
01:38This new genre can come out, it's called Reparto de Cuba.
01:41It's good music to dance to and to have fun.
01:44Thank you, Lenier.
