Transcript

00:00 We're here with the iconic Pepe Aylar at the Billboard Latin Music Awards.

00:04 Something special is happening tonight.

00:06 You're singing with Marc Anthony your new song "Ojalá Te Duela".

00:10 How did that collab happen?

00:12 Bueno, me habló, me habló Marc y me dijo que quería hacer una canción con mariachi,

00:24 una canción muy ranchera.

00:25 Y yo dije wow, que habrá comido Marc ese día.

00:31 Pero no, después me envió la canción muy buena para que yo la produjera.

00:37 La produje, le encantó y el resto es historia.

00:41 Ahorita estamos aquí cantándola a los dos.

00:44 Ojalá le guste a la gente.

00:46 Ojalá les duela también porque si les duele les va a gustar más la canción.

00:51 Pepe, ¿qué tiene que tener una canción para que tú digas sí?

00:56 Si quiero producirla, si quiero ser parte del proyecto.

01:00 Mira que buena pregunta.

01:02 Yo creo que debe de tener cierta calidad definitivamente.

01:07 Es muy subjetivo todo lo que tenga que ver con la música.

01:10 Hay mucha subjetividad.

01:12 Lo que para ti es bueno para mi igual puede ser diferente y malo y viceversa.

01:17 Entonces trato de buscar parámetros que vayan en la música tradicional mexicana

01:24 en la que ya existe.

01:26 Y también en autores o compositores que me gusten.

01:30 Y también en maneras de decir las cosas que me gusten.

01:33 Entonces esas son las características que tienen que tener las canciones para

01:37 que yo las produzca o para que diga wow, esa canción está buena.

01:40 Ya sea que se la produzca alguien más, como es el caso este para Marc,

01:43 o que lo haga para mí.

01:45 Tiene que pasar por ese escrutinio.

01:48 Has to go through that filter.

01:50 Has to go through that filter.

01:52 Otherwise I wouldn't be truthful to who I am.

01:59 And I wouldn't be doing honor to the song and the artist that I'm producing.

02:05 Did it take a while to get to that where you're certain--

02:09 I know you have many years in this career.

02:11 Did you ever feel like that where you're like yes, no, yes, no?

02:15 Or did it take a while for you to get that confidence?

02:18 It took a while.

02:19 I've always been very confident.

02:21 But at the beginning, it was out of stupidness and not a lot of experience.

02:31 [SPEAKING SPANISH]

02:35 Maybe I shouldn't have gone there.

02:37 [SPEAKING SPANISH]

02:39 Been there, done that.

02:41 I know how it sounds.

02:42 I know what I want.

02:43 I'm picturing it in my head.

02:45 Like normally when I produce a song, I picture it in my head first.

02:50 And then I try and look for that sound.

02:52 So it has evolved the way that I work and that I produce, of course.

02:57 I mean, I don't know what I would do right now with the skills

03:03 that I had 30 years ago.

03:04 I would kill myself.

03:05 [LAUGHTER]

03:08 Evolution is good.

03:09 Evolving is good.

03:10 Yeah.

03:11 I would never kill myself.

03:12 It was just vigorous speech.

03:15 Pepe, anything else that we can expect from you for the rest of the year?

03:18 Oh, man.

03:19 So many things.

03:20 I'm producing like crazy.

03:24 We're doing Angela's new album.

03:26 We're doing Leonardo's new album.

03:28 We are signing new acts.

03:31 We are doing my new album, which is amazing.

03:35 It has a lot, a lot of crazy, crazy tunes.

03:39 I think I'm going to either be loved by my fans

03:43 or probably are going to cancel me forever, OK, after this album.

03:48 Because I'm just going to go full out.

03:51 That's the way to do it.

03:53 That's the way to do it.

03:54 That's the way to do it.

03:55 [SPEAKING SPANISH]

03:57 [SPEAKING SPANISH]

04:05 I love that.

04:05 Thank you so much, Pepe.

04:07 Have so much fun tonight.

04:08 Thank you.
