Transcript

00:00Yes, we have a song with Fariana, very nice, so go listen to it on my YouTube channel and on my digital platforms.

00:08It's a Mexican-Northern song, very nice, something we've never done before.

00:13And Champeta, you've never done Champeta too?

00:15We did Champeta too, with a Colombian artist, Mr. Black, and we're working on a lot of things.

00:22This is a special year.

00:25Lenier, you have a tattoo, I saw the LBMA here, what's that? Are those your initials?

00:31Well, incredibly, this is a slogan that Tayo always says, an artist that we lost a short time ago.

00:41But after I tattooed it, I analyzed it and it's the initials of my name too.

00:47But after I did it, I hadn't realized it.

00:50My name is Álvaro Lenier Mesa Basurto.

00:54And what did the tiger say?

00:57That it's the best in the world.

01:00I love it.

01:02Lenier, now that you mention the tiger, I want to know what you think of this new movement, of the distribution.

01:08We're seeing a lot of artists that have gone viral, Bebeshito, Mauel, people from the area are also making music.

01:15What do you feel about this new movement that's coming out of Jóvenes Cubanos?

01:18It's a movement that's being defended in Cuba and all over the world.

01:24And all the new movements that come out in the genre of music, it's music.

01:29So you have to support everything.

01:31I've also done distribution and what has to be done is done for the music.

01:35Just like the Dembow that came out in the Dominican Republic.

01:38This new genre can come out, it's called Reparto de Cuba.

01:41It's good music to dance to and to have fun.

01:44Thank you, Lenier.
