00:00There is nothing more beautiful than being an artist, a singer, and seeing people enjoy their music.

00:07Anything you say is exclusive.

00:17Well, my people from Billboard, and today, from Viña del Mar, we are with the great Eladio Carrión.

00:23Hello, hello, hello.

00:25How are you? Nice to have you here.

00:27We are enjoying this view.

00:29I told you we brought you some details.

00:31Of course, I feel like I'm here in San Juan.

00:33Close, next to El Morro.

00:35Exactly, next to El Morro.

00:37How are you, Eladio? How do you feel? Nervous?

00:40I'm good. I never get nervous.

00:42I was an athlete for many years.

00:44Those are the worst nerves.

00:46When you are going to compete against other people.

00:48This is more anxious.

00:50From there to the stage.

00:52To see how the experience is.

00:54To see how they enjoy the show.

00:56I'm more anxious than nervous.

00:58But I'm good, thanks. And you?

01:00I'm good too.

01:01What have you heard?

01:03What expectations do you have of El Monstro?

01:05What do you call the fans here?

01:07El Monstro?

01:08The fans.

01:09Because they are not easy.

01:11No, they are the best, right?

01:13They are one of my top 5 fans in the world.

01:16I love coming to Chile for that.

01:18You can hear the music a lot.

01:20The feeling of the shows.

01:22They enjoy it.

01:24It's the most beautiful thing.

01:26To be an artist, a singer.

01:28And see the people enjoy their music so much.

01:32There is nothing more beautiful than that.

01:34How did they welcome you that time?

01:36When you came the last time.

01:38It was incredible.

01:40We were like two movistars.

01:42How many did we do?

01:44We did a couple.

01:46Two.

01:47And each show was incredible.

01:49Even my first shows.

01:51When I came for the first time.

01:53The energy is the same.

01:55Intense.

01:57I really enjoy the energy of Chile.

01:59Of the fans here.

02:01I was walking just a few minutes outside.

02:04And the people were...

02:06They have your music outside.

02:08I went right there.

02:10That recharges you, right?

02:12Because we always see you on social media.

02:14When you can, you share a little with your fans.

02:16In certain stops.

02:18And they always tell you very nice things.

02:20100%

02:22And I try to give them love every time I can.

02:24They are very good with me.

02:26What do you have prepared for Viña?

02:30I have something...

02:32Something cool.

02:34I have a lot of elements that we usually don't use.

02:36The shows that we are going to be using.

02:38On this stage.

02:40Because one is big and one is important.

02:42We have never brought a show like this to Chile.

02:46I think it's going to be something important.

02:48The people are going to love it.

02:50The last time I saw you was for the Latin Grammys.

02:52With your parents.

02:54I loved it.

02:56Because we also made a video of your outfit.

02:58And they both told me...

03:00My mom knew what I was wearing.

03:02Yes, my mom is very fashionable.

03:04But they had practiced it.

03:06You had told them...

03:08Yes, yes.

03:10Because they ask you.

03:12This is this, this is this.

03:14I know, I know.

03:16My mom doesn't care.

03:18She doesn't know much about those things.

03:22But she was very beautiful that day.

03:24She looked beautiful.

03:26My dad also looked like a star.

03:28It's so nice that you can share those moments with them.

03:32Of course.

03:34They are the two people with whom I would like to share those moments the most.

03:36If I can do it.

03:38Every time I can do it, I will do it.

03:40I would like to have them here in Viña.

03:42But they are in Maryland.

03:44They live in the United States.

03:46I don't know why.

03:48But I am very happy that they are here with us.

03:50They are having fun.

03:52Dad is in the pool eating chicken.

03:54Eating fish.

03:56Talking with the fans outside.

03:58But they are very important to me.

04:00How nice.

04:02You were giving some hints

04:04that your album is coming soon.

04:06What can you tell us?

04:08Just for Billboard.

04:10I haven't talked much.

04:12I haven't talked much about the album.

04:14Anything you say will be exclusive.

04:20How long have you been preparing this album?

04:22This is the album that took me the most time.

04:24Because there are a lot of variables.

04:26A lot of things that go together with the album.

04:32Even anime.

04:34There are a lot of things.

04:36The visuals are incredible.

04:40I ask you to listen to the album

04:42from beginning to end.

04:44That's all I ask of you.

04:46In what order?

04:48That's all I ask of you.

04:50But it's a very interesting album.

04:54I made it for the fans.

04:56It's something they've wanted for a long time.

04:58And my job is to please them.

05:00Obviously you come from an album

05:02like Solmaria.

05:04Something very personal.

05:06More personal.

05:08Something I had to do.

05:10This is...

05:14This is...

05:20I don't know what to say.

05:22Without saying much.

05:24But it's an intense album.

05:28It's a perfect word to describe it.

05:30It's an intense album.

05:32With a lot of intention.

05:34I did it thinking about the tour.

05:36It's going to be an incredible tour.

05:38With everything we have planned.

05:40With the experience it's going to be.

05:42The VIP.

05:44And the show as such.

05:46We're learning each tour,

05:48each show, how to improve.

05:50With each album as well.

05:52And I think this is

05:56one of the best projects I've been able to do.

05:58It's a matter of the tour,

06:00the music, the visuals,

06:02and all the things that are tied to the album.

06:04As a complement.

06:06And how much time

06:08or how much did you look for

06:12to be able to pick up the ideas for this album?

06:14How far did you go?

06:18I made music everywhere.

06:22It was more about looking for the perfect sounds.

06:24The correct sounds.

06:26Not repeating sounds.

06:28Not repeating ideas.

06:30And see how we really

06:32raised that bar.

06:34To make a better product

06:36than the previous one.

06:38I think we did a great job.

06:42I love it.

06:44I have a repeat.

06:46I've had a repeat for months.

06:48And I'm not tired yet.

06:50It's a good album

06:52to get up to work.

06:54To go to the gym.

06:56To let it run.

06:58If you don't feel like doing something,

07:00put the album.

07:02It's a lot of fun.

07:04And you know I love that

07:06about your music.

07:08Because sometimes you need

07:10that energy to say

07:12I'm good.

07:14I move with music.

07:16To go to the gym without headphones.

07:18It's impossible.

07:20I need to listen to something.

07:22I get bored.

07:24I love it.

07:26How do you prepare for the tour?

07:28Going to the gym

07:30first of all.

07:32For this tour

07:34I'm being more strict

07:36with what I eat.

07:38I just started

07:40running again.

07:42Because I really want

07:44to give my best.

07:46I don't want to go out

07:48like in another show

07:50where I have to go to the floor.

07:52I want to be in shape to give

07:54those two hours of shows

07:56a lot of intensity

07:58without getting tired.

08:02I think

08:04physically it's where

08:06I need to prepare

08:08because of how intense the shows are.

08:10But musically

08:12I go for the audience

08:14at this point.

08:16For this I rehearse.

08:18But usually for my tours

08:20I don't rehearse much

08:22because I like

08:24the audience.

08:26Exactly.

08:28And mentally?

08:30It's intense.

08:32Mentally I rest.

08:34Something I didn't do a lot

08:36was to stay awake for days

08:38recording or doing this

08:40without sleeping for two hours.

08:42Something I've done more

08:44is to rest.

08:46That has helped me a lot with my mind.

08:48You have to sleep.

08:50The people who say

08:52you have to rest.

08:54And drink water.

08:56Exactly.

08:58And just to close

09:00if I asked you

09:02where do you spend your money the most?

09:04Food.

09:06Easy.

09:08Do you discover new places?

09:10Of course.

09:12When I travel

09:14if I have a break

09:16I try to go out

09:18to eat.

09:20But I love to eat.

09:22I spend a lot on food.

09:24I love it.

09:26I wish you all the success in the world.

09:28Thank you for having me.

09:30I hope you enjoy tomorrow.

09:32No.

09:34Drink water and relax

09:36because you'll be jumping tomorrow.

09:38Exactly.

09:40Tomorrow we leave

09:42pumped up.

09:44Ready.
