00:00Hi, how are you? I'm Octavio Cuadras and I'm in Pescando Preguntas.

00:08Look at my eyes.

00:10This one.

00:13What would be a moment when you were excited to see an artist?

00:20I swear it was yesterday.

00:22Yesterday I wanted to meet Arcangel.

00:25But I couldn't, I had work in Los Angeles.

00:28So I couldn't make it.

00:30I made it until today.

00:32But I was very excited.

00:35I said, we're going to be at the same event.

00:38But it didn't happen.

00:39I know it will happen soon.

00:43The next one is...

00:45What is the craziest show you've ever done?

00:49Wow, I don't know.

00:51Look, this is real.

00:53When I was 12 years old, I started working in music.

00:59I started when I was very young.

01:01So when my cousins played band instruments.

01:05Trombone and trumpet.

01:07And I played the bass drums.

01:09So they called us right away from my house.

01:12And we went there right away and they were making a meal.

01:15So that was the most exotic show.

01:16I played with the bass drums and they with the trumpets.

01:19And they gave us money in a cap.

01:22And that was my first music salary and my first show.

01:25And it was the craziest because I was playing the bass drums.

01:27So I think that's the craziest thing I've done in a show.

01:32They don't even move when I move them like this, right?

01:36When was the first time in your career that you thought, I did it?

01:40Wow.

01:42They are very emotional.

01:44Well, honestly, today is a very special day.

01:50It's the first time I perform in Las Vegas.

01:53It's the first time I perform like this, with my whole group.

01:58I had come here to the United States to sing, but I was alone.

02:02So I just got the visas for my whole team.

02:06And my brother comes with them.

02:08My brother plays the requinto with me.

02:10So he and I started when we were kids.

02:13And right now we got here, we were doing the soundcheck.

02:16And we turned around to see the buildings.

02:18We came from a ranch called Navolato.

02:20So I turned to him and said, we are in Las Vegas.

02:23And he said, yes, we did it.
