00:00
Anlita, welcome to Latin Women in Music.
00:03
Today you are one of our winners.
00:06
And we are going to give you a prize for the Vanguard Award.
00:09
Yes.
00:10
It's hard to say.
00:12
What does a nightlight tonight mean to you?
00:15
I think it's true.
00:17
In Spanish, in English.
00:19
I think it's very important for us, for women.
00:25
It's important to have a night for women.
00:28
It's important for all the society.
00:30
The difference in which we are still being treated.
00:33
The difference in the day-to-day, not only in the industry,
00:36
but in all the phases of life,
00:38
women face different differences of treatment and inequality.
00:43
So, to have a night for women is very important.
00:47
What you said in the story with my friend Isabella,
00:49
when you interviewed your documentary, Larissa,
00:52
on Netflix, that you wanted to make the people,
00:56
women, I imagine, would be able to relate to you.
00:59
Yes.
01:00
Even though it seems like a perfect life,
01:01
you want them to be able to relate to you,
01:03
because you've hustled for this.
01:05
You've created your opportunities.
01:07
Why is it important for people to relate to you?
01:09
I think...
01:11
I think...
01:12
I think...
01:13
I wanted to feel like people,
01:14
because today I think with social networks,
01:18
everyone is glamourizing everything,
01:21
thinking that the life of influencers, famous, rich,
01:26
is incredible.
01:27
In fact, it's not so much like that.
01:30
I think we're in a moment of life where we value a lot of money,
01:37
the fame, the behavior in society,
01:40
but I think it's not so much time to need influence,
01:45
to never stop, or to success.
01:49
Now I think we need influence of people who look inside,
01:53
who relaxes well with themselves, with their family, with their interior,
01:58
because we're valuing a lot of things material,
02:01
and a little bit of who we are inside, you know?
02:04
So, with this, everything is changing,
02:07
a very plastic world.
02:08
And I think that's how I wanted people to feel like me,
02:13
how to relate to this,
02:15
because I'm human too,
02:17
all the famous people are,
02:18
all the fuck,
02:19
all the fuck,
02:20
all the fuck,
02:21
all the fuck,
02:22
all the fuck,
02:23
all the fuck,
02:24
all the fuck,
02:25
all the fuck,
02:26
all the fuck,
02:27
what's next,
02:30
what's the plan,
02:32
and trust,
02:33
follow your heart,
02:34
follow your intuition,
02:35
how life-changing has that been,
02:37
for you to be able to now do that?
02:39
Oh, amazing.
02:41
Because,
02:42
I feel that with the years,
02:44
we are so pressured to deliver,
02:47
to be a success.
02:48
As I said,
02:49
there are so many,
02:50
so many people,
02:52
and influence,
02:54
and examples of successful people,
02:57
people that made,
02:59
they won,
03:00
they went for it.
03:02
But,
03:03
there are not examples,
03:04
examples,
03:05
of people,
03:06
of people,
03:07
of people,
03:08
who say,
03:09
okay,
03:10
it's okay to give up,
03:12
it's okay to,
03:13
okay,
03:14
I've done everything,
03:15
I've done millions,
03:17
I don't need billions,
03:18
I'm fine with the billions,
03:20
I'm fine with the billions,
03:21
and everything is fine,
03:22
I think no,
03:23
I think the industry,
03:24
the society,
03:25
the mechanism,
03:27
the system,
03:28
it needs to,
03:29
that everyone thinks,
03:30
that we need more,
03:31
more money,
03:32
more things,
03:33
more houses,
03:34
more cars,
03:35
and really,
03:36
we don't need it,
03:37
we can be more calm,
03:39
you know,
03:40
and,
03:41
I think this is the importance,
03:42
for me,
03:43
in my life,
03:44
at this moment,
03:45
we're very used to seeing people saying,
03:47
never give up,
03:48
never give up,
03:49
and then,
03:50
we feel like,
03:51
if one day we wanna give up,
03:52
we're weak,
03:53
we're bad,
03:54
we don't belong.
03:55
And I disagree,
03:56
I think it's totally okay,
03:58
to give up,
03:59
it's totally okay,
04:00
to rest,
04:01
to take some time,
04:03
to breathe,
04:04
to be with your family,
04:05
to look inside,
04:06
I think that's really okay,
04:08
I think,
04:09
today,
04:10
with all this pressure,
04:11
for being more,
04:12
and more,
04:13
este es el verdadero,
04:14
la ostentacion,
04:15
the real rich,
04:17
is people who have time,
04:19
and,
04:20
have the courage,
04:21
to slow down.
04:22
Yeah.
04:23
That's the real power.
04:24
I am so empowered by Yanni,
04:25
right now.
04:26
Me too.
04:27
I'm like, wow.
04:28
Yo te admiro muchísimo,
04:29
aparte,
04:30
te hice la portada,
04:31
hace dos años,
04:32
para Billboard,
04:33
y te conocí más,
04:34
y entendi que eres una mujer,
04:35
muy poderosa,
04:36
no solamente,
04:37
obviamente,
04:38
por lo que representas,
04:39
pero quien eres,
04:40
y que ayudas a los demás,
04:41
and I really admire your career.
04:43
I think it's really important,
04:44
I mean,
04:45
I don't believe we're here,
04:46
just to make more money,
04:47
and to be more successful,
04:48
and famous.
04:49
We're here to share,
04:51
and to make some good,
04:52
to the society,
04:53
there are so many people watching us,
04:55
we should do something good about it,
04:56
not only,
04:57
fulfill more our ego,
04:59
and more and more,
05:00
we should,
05:01
spread good things,
05:02
for everybody to win.
05:03
Anita,
05:04
hablando un poquito de música,
05:06
last week,
05:07
our fans,
05:08
on Billboard.com,
05:09
voted for your collaboration,
05:10
with Kenny Owls,
05:11
and Cuatro,
05:12
as the favorite release,
05:13
of the week,
05:14
me gustaría saber,
05:15
who are those other female artists,
05:17
that you would like to collaborate with?
05:19
Any genre,
05:20
any country?
05:22
Or that are inspiring you right now?
05:24
I think,
05:25
well,
05:26
right now I've been listening,
05:27
to a lot of mantras,
05:28
which is healing music,
05:30
so I don't know,
05:31
people will connect,
05:32
or relate to that,
05:34
you know,
05:35
I've been listening to,
05:36
Snatham Kau,
05:37
she's a great mantra singer,
05:40
but I don't know,
05:41
if people are,
05:42
into that,
05:43
it's healing music,
05:44
really good for me,
05:45
makes me a great,
05:47
wellness inside,
05:50
but,
05:51
I don't know,
05:52
but I'm really happy,
05:53
with my release with Kenya,
05:54
yo and Kenya,
05:55
somos amigas,
05:56
hace muchos años,
05:57
siempre buscábamos,
05:58
algo para hacer juntas,
05:59
nunca logramos,
06:00
encontrar algo,
06:01
que fuera un poquito yo,
06:03
un poquito ella,
06:04
entonces,
06:05
encontramos esta,
06:06
son los mismos,
06:07
compositores,
06:08
productores,
06:09
de Bella Kale,
06:10
que hizo la canción,
06:11
conmigo y con peso pluma,
06:14
y ahora,
06:15
y ella también,
06:16
grabó con él,
06:17
y ahora grabamos,
06:18
juntas esta,
06:19
que tiene este flow,
06:20
bien,
06:21
al mismo tiempo que sexy,
06:22
divertido,
06:23
o sea,
06:24
encontramos la canción perfecta,
06:25
la amo,
06:26
somos,
06:27
la quiero mucho.
06:28
Totalmente Anita,
06:29
felicidades nuevamente,
06:30

06:32
