00:00
Don't be bobas.
00:01
Ha ha ha.
00:02
Flores azules y quilates.
00:05
Ah, way, way, way, way, way, way, way.
00:07
This is something that should be written in the history of Latin music forever.
00:19
Dude.
00:20
Mi música no discrimina a nadie, así que vamos a romper.
00:24
Yeah.
00:25
Mi gente.
00:26
My music doesn't discriminate anyone.
00:29
Just let's get it.
00:31
Mi gente.
00:32
Mi música no discrimina a nadie, así que vamos a romper.
00:36
That's the beautiful thing about music.
00:37
You know, it's a universal language.
00:39
Everybody kind of have the same feeling when they listen to the song.
00:42
It's not about the country.
00:43
It's about how you give the energy on stage.
00:46
You get that energy back.
00:49
Everywhere I go, I have to make sure that I'm doing my best to entertain and make the
00:53
people feel happy.
00:55
So, basically, everywhere we go, any part of the world, people react the same.
00:59
It's a rave to be in a Super Bowl.
01:02
That could be one of my most happiest moments in my career, you know, because it's such
01:06
a huge statement.
01:07
That moment with Jennifer Lopez, which I send her all the love.
01:11
Her discipline is out of this world and how humble she is and the way she treated me was
01:16
so beautiful.
01:17
That was definitely a win for Latinos.
01:20
Yeah.
01:27
Yeah.
01:28
It says, in the ghetto.
01:30
Of course.
01:31
Because it's like, you know, I started in the ghetto and now the world is ours.
01:35
So, yeah, makes sense.
01:38
In the ghetto with Skrillex and Tiny, it was definitely that type of song that you listen
01:42
to everywhere, in every club or any festival because it's that, you know.
01:47
I love reggaeton.
01:48
That's what I do.
01:49
But I found different ways to connect to the world, using samples or connecting with different
01:53
type of genres like EDM.
01:56
My go-to dance move when I'm listening to EDM, I'm the worst when it comes to EDM.
02:00
I'm the worst when it comes to EDM.
02:03
So, basically, I'm like, that's it.
02:06
I was talking that with my friends, you know.
02:08
I went to different places around the world and all these places were just playing, you
02:11
know, EDM.
02:12
I was like, I love this, but I need to dance now.
02:15
Like, my neck is moving side to side.
02:17
I need to loosen up a little bit more.
02:31
It's like every moment of suffering, but we'll be okay.
02:34
I'm not perfect, but wherever you are, I'll be there.
02:47
Yeah, this is Ed Sheeran.
02:49
This is me and Ed Sheeran and Ed Sheeran singing in Spanish.
02:53
Wherever you are, I'll be there.
02:58
There's going to be moments of suffering, but everything will be okay.
03:03
I'm not perfect, but wherever you are, I'll be there.
03:18
Ed Sheeran is a person that I admire so much.
03:20
He's one of the biggest artists in the world, period.
03:22
He made me be a better artist and also a better person.
03:26
We have a really close relationship.
03:28
Being with him in the studio is one of the most beautiful moments.
03:31
He's so humble and he likes to jump in every different type of genre.
03:36
He do it really right.
03:37
And this is the first time he do a whole, you know, completely song in Spanish.
03:42
So, it was really beautiful.
03:45
I couldn't ever get over you.
03:47
I never got over you.
03:49
I even learned English ballads.
03:51
This is a Latin anthem.
03:53
It's la cancion, you know.
03:55
Me and Bad Bunny in our collab album, Oasis.
04:15
So, it was the first time that Colombian and Puerto Rican do an album together.
04:18
So, it was a really beautiful statement and a really beautiful moment in our careers.
04:24
This is something that should be written in history of Latin music forever.
04:45
This is the song with Fade.
04:46
He's from Medellin, Colombia.
04:47
He's going to his best moment right now.
04:49
We actually recorded the song here in LA together.
04:52
Just me and him talking about life and catching up.
04:55
The song is really catchy.
04:56
It's produced by Sky.
04:58
It's, you know, like throw the watch that that guy gave you.
05:01
Why you gotta check the hour?
05:03
You know, it's like, forget about that guy.
05:15
I had to buy her a shot because she was thirsty.
05:21
You got her thirsty.
05:26
Shit.
05:29
La moral?
05:30
No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
05:31
Hold up, hold up.
05:32
You know the problem?
05:33
Because we need like music memory.
05:36
It triggers immediately the song.
05:45
Ah, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
05:48
Of course, of course, of course.
05:50
Now I got it.
05:51
So, it's like.
06:09
Of course.
06:10
I had to buy her a shot because she was thirsty.
06:13
When you do something con altura is when you do it classy.
06:16
You know, when you do things right.
06:18
That's con altura.
06:19
High level.
06:20
Great taste.
06:21
I've been a huge fan of Rosalía since I heard her for the first time
06:24
when Sky showed me her music.
06:26
She is really a perfectionist.
06:29
She knew definitely what she wanted with this song.
06:31
When they send me the idea, I'm like, let's go.
06:35
You know, I'm all in.
06:36
And I'm grateful for her.
06:37
I learned a lot from her.
06:39
You know, I have a lot of respect for her.
06:42
Her taste is amazing.
06:44
And the culture that she brought to the game was totally different for us.
06:49
So, yeah, shout out to Rosalía.
06:51
She is really special.
07:10
Yeah, this is a like it.
07:12
It's a statement.
07:20
Testa Rosa, it's a classic Ferrari.
07:23
It's not hype.
07:24
It's always going to be a classic.
07:26
So, what I'm saying is like, I'm not hype no more.
07:28
I'm like a Testa Rosa.
07:30
Forever.
07:31
Okay.
07:40
Mami, no más lágrimas.
07:42
Of course, Bobo.
07:44
Bobo.
07:46
No llores por un bobo.
07:55
Don't be bobas.
07:58
If he's dumb, don't be dumb.
08:02
You know, it's bye.
08:04
See you.
08:06
My advice is just like, value yourself.
08:10
I've been Bobo so many times.
08:12
I've committed a lot of mistakes.
08:14
I've been really Bobo.
08:15
Really dumb sometimes, causing relationships.
08:17
And, yeah, they kicked me out.
08:19
So, they weren't no bobas.
08:21
You're really smart.
08:31
Of course.
08:32
She knows the route for the club.
08:35
They bring her bottles, but she's never going to drink them.
08:38
She's like, like this.
08:41
I don't care who you are.
08:43
This is Gato.
08:45
This is with Bad Yal.
08:52
I haven't partied in Colombia for a while, in a nightclub.
08:56
Because it ain't the same as before.
08:58
But if I go, I kind of throwback.
09:00
It was a nightclub called Deja Vu.
09:02
That was my spot all the time.
09:09
Yeah, we have so many hits.
09:11
That's great.
09:12
This is downtown Anitta.
09:20
In every business, it's hard to find a good friend.
09:22
But she's definitely more than a friend.
09:23
She's a sister.
09:24
And the way she empowers women, also.
09:26
And the way, you know, she comes from the favelas, from Brazil.
09:29
You know, listen.
09:30
We're not supposed to be here.
09:32
If we follow the way we were born, or the places.
09:38
We just believe that we could make it, and we make it.
09:41
I met her through DM.
09:43
She DM'd me, I remember.
09:45
Because she was in Spain.
09:47
And they were playing Ginza everywhere.
09:49
And she's like, hey amigo.
09:51
You know, where are you?
09:53
And like, I'm listening to you everywhere I go.
09:55
And you know, I would love to get to know you.
09:57
And do some music together.
09:58
And I'm like, of course, you know.
09:59
Then she invited me to Brazil for her birthday party.
10:02
So I got to know her family, and her reality, and where she comes from.
10:07
And I was like, yeah.
10:08
She's one of us.
10:10
So we became family.
