00:00I want to present myself. I am Carolina Girando from Medellín, Colombia.
00:06I am the first Latina woman to headline cochea.
00:14And I'm very happy and very proud about this, but at the same time, it feels late.
00:23There has been 27 years of this festival going on, and it's the first time a Latina girl is headline
00:31in cochea, so...
00:34I just want to say that before me, there were so many great Latino artists, legendary Latino artists,
00:41that gave me the opportunity to be here tonight, so this is not just about me, this is about my
00:46Latina community, this is about my people.
00:50And at the same time, this is for my Latinos that have been struggling in this country lately.
00:58We stand for them, I stand for my Latina community, and at the same time, I'm very proud because this
01:05brings out the best of us, unity, resilience, a strong spirit.
01:12And we don't do this because we want to take everyone out. Actually, we do this because we want everyone
01:19to feel welcome to our culture, to our roots, to our music.
01:26So, I just want everyone to feel proud of where you come from, please.
01:32They happen in a way, well!
