00:00For example, I am very fan of the Disney music.
00:04I llore with the Cenicienta, I llore with the King León.
00:09Me llega in the heart, me llega in the heart that music,
00:13those violins, those chords.
00:16Well, to me being the first nominated guitarist in this category
00:21of Latin Grammy is crazy because
00:26of all the categories of which we had when we presented,
00:31we were the only one that we hoped,
00:35that this was a no-seguro.
00:37We thought, well, the song could be,
00:40or the video of the movie,
00:43or the sound, perhaps, I don't know,
00:46but this one we didn't expect.
00:49Well, still, asimilating this beautiful receive,
00:54of giving that space to the musician, to the guitarist,
01:02it's very beautiful.
01:04Geray is a curious musician,
01:08with curiosity, with desire to learn,
01:10with desire to experience,
01:12from the folklore, from the flamenca music,
01:17from the gitana music,
01:19to experiment and learn more
01:23from the local music music,
01:26from the folklore of other countries,
01:29from Mexico, Argentina,
01:31from Colombia, from Chile,
01:34from Panamá.
01:36I love the tambourines of Panamá.
01:38I think the only gift that we give the music
01:43is to share with the other cultures,
01:47and that's a blessing.
01:49I don't know how to tell you exactly
01:52why we achieved this projection
01:56and, I don't know,
01:58to access to so many people
02:01who had never heard flamenca,
02:03or who had heard flamenca,
02:07but not in this way or in this way.
02:11I still feel that I'm a traditional musician
02:15and classical musician
02:17in what is the music
02:20and in what is the formula
02:23of my music.
02:25But it's true that,
02:27at the time of it,
02:29one always thinks
02:30in the visual,
02:32in the sound,
02:34in how you want to listen,
02:36in the structure of the songs,
02:38they have also something,
02:39I think,
02:40something more popular,
02:42more pop.
02:44It may be more accessible.
02:46I don't know.
02:48What I have to do is that
02:49the folklore of music,
02:52the music
02:53so big as in this case
02:56is the flamenco,
02:57the music
02:58is not to wear
02:59the things
03:00that are not
03:01for people to understand.
03:02There are times
03:03that the less the touch
03:04and the less the alter
03:06it is.
03:07It happens to be modern
03:08it is.
03:09It happens to be actual,
03:10because this type of music
03:12is not a mod.
03:13This type of music
03:14is not a mod.
03:15It is a good example,
03:16because it is a good thing,
03:17it is a good thing.
03:18This is the actual way
03:19of interacting with the music
03:20and completely
03:21talking about
03:22the music
03:23of this place,
03:25place,
03:26of the video,
03:27of the audio,
03:28of the sound,
03:29of the audio,
03:30maybe
03:31that it is something
03:32that there is a...
03:33much more accessibility
03:34without the need
03:35to alter the product.
03:36I always have a method that I work a lot in the studio, that is how I would put music to a scene in the cinema.
03:50A scene in the cinema where there is text or not, it doesn't matter.
03:56But how can I alter with my music the emotion of that scene?
04:01It always gives me a lot of curiosity that in a scene in which it seems like something tragic or there is an awkward situation,
04:14suddenly you put a music alegre and happy and it seems like it is telling you something different.
04:20Or in an image where there are a lot of children and girls dancing in a day,
04:26in a camera lenta, you put a sad music and it takes a bit more of melancholy,
04:32even though the image is soleada and it is a laugh.
04:35So I try to do that all the time with the songs.
04:39It's like, I don't have text, but I have the power of drawing a scene auditory,
04:45how do I accompany to this that I want to tell?
04:49And what happens is that I always end up writing because it is one of the things that I like most,
04:54and it goes very handily.
04:56So I always try to wear the songs as if they were scenes of cinema.
05:01For example, I am a very fan of the Disney music.
05:05I llore, I llore with the Cenicienta, I llore with the Rei León.
05:10It comes to the heart, it comes to the heart, it comes to the music,
05:14those violins, those chords, it looks beautiful.
05:17But I tell you, it's not that I'm ashamed.
05:19Well, I am working and I am finishing up recording a song
05:23that is born from a tour that I have been doing for almost two years.
05:29And we have done the tour and as we were doing the tour,
05:32we were doing the tour.
05:34We have done everything, according to the show,
05:40we have done the tour and all that we were planning on the show.
05:44And if God wants, for a year or February, we will be out.
05:48And everything we expect the year next is the tour of the show.
05:53And if God wants, we can be here in Latin America.
05:58I would like to go to Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Panamá,
06:05because we are working a lot on that.
06:08And I'm really happy with that, with the new album.
