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.
