00:00How are you?
00:02We are live with Natalia Lafourcade.
00:06Imagine, here we are three.
00:10How are you, Natalia Lafourcade?
00:12I am very happy, very happy to be here with you.
00:15I am very happy to celebrate the music,
00:18the Latin women in music with Billboard.
00:21It is a honor, a privilege for me.
00:23I am not sure if we can tell you exactly what you came.
00:27Did you tell us a surprise or no?
00:29It is a surprise, I can tell you.
00:33I don't know if it is a surprise,
00:36she doesn't know it or if she knows.
00:37She doesn't know it right now.
00:38But no, she is seeing us, we are living,
00:41I don't think she knows it.
00:42I am here to give her a recognition
00:45to my beloved, beloved, dear Julieta Venegas
00:49for her excellence in the music and her trajectory
00:53and all her legacy,
00:54everything that we have left.
00:56Well, here I am.
00:58I am invited.
00:59I have a honor, a privilege.
01:01Imagine, I admire Julieta
01:02since many years ago.
01:05I never imagined her.
01:07I think of my Natalia from adolescence.
01:09Yes, she escaped to see her in concert.
01:11Exactly.
01:12I never imagined her.
01:14I would like to give her this recognition
01:17and share with her, once again,
01:19with her special moments.
01:21No, really, how...
01:22If you take a little bit of that time
01:24where you really escape...
01:26I saw you in an interview that you told me.
01:28That you escape.
01:29That you were going to see the concerts.
01:31How did you live in that time?
01:32How did you come to your music?
01:33What was it called?
01:34It was a wonderful time.
01:36I was very young.
01:38Of course, I never imagined what I would come to my way in the music,
01:43with a tremendous illusion of being able to play a stage,
01:50of being able to play a guitar.
01:52I saw Julieta in the concerts that there were rock there,
01:57sometimes in festivals, sometimes in bars, in discothecations,
02:02I was going to get there where she was.
02:05And I remember that moment,
02:08a moment of a very strong rock scene in Mexico,
02:11and I really liked being there in the middle of all these people in the public,
02:18admirándola and dreaming at the same time,
02:20like saying, I want to achieve something similar.
02:27And to see her as a woman, as a pioneer,
02:30in a scene where there were so many masculine bands,
02:35and to see her always with that strength,
02:38it gave me a lot of inspiration,
02:40a lot of desire to do songs and do things.
02:45I know that you're also going to be on tour.
02:47Yes.
02:48Tomorrow I'm going to be able to see you.
02:49I've never seen you.
02:50Ay, qué maravilla.
02:52Very good.
02:53How are you going to be on tour with the United States?
02:56Well, I'm feeling very beautiful to be on this land again.
03:01The United States is a very important territory for my tour.
03:04Yes.
03:05Yes.
03:05The Latin community is very large,
03:08and the international community.
03:09There are people from all sides,
03:13from all languages,
03:14and we all have gathered in the universal language,
03:17which is the music.
03:18Yes.
03:20It's very intimate.
03:21Yes, I enjoy it.
03:22I enjoy it.
03:23I enjoy it.
03:24I enjoy it a lot.
03:25It's an intimate tour.
03:27It's a dream.
03:28I wanted to go to the 40s to go to this tour,
03:31guitar, guitar, piano and voice,
03:34and celebrating the song,
03:36honoring the song.
03:37It's basically that.
03:38That's beautiful.
