00:00Julieta, how are you?
00:03I'm fangirling right now.
00:30I'm going to get out of here.
00:30I'm going to get out of here.
00:31And then I go out and I think, wow,
00:32that's nice that someone else can do it and that it's very nice.
00:35And that it's very good to me.
00:37I always have to go with respect and seriedad.
00:41I mean, the music is like my middle expression
00:42and always everything I take is like with much love
00:45and it's very emotional that
00:46those boats that I launch, that they launch on the sea
00:49they end up somewhere, the truth.
00:51I'm going to tell you a Julieta that Tiny...
00:53Actually, I spoke with Tiny...
00:55Ayer I was told you.
00:56I swear to you, I was playing on both sides, because it was very interesting how he told
01:04how he was enamored of your music in Puerto Rico.
01:07Oh, beautiful.
01:09And actually, those are the boats that came to the Isle of Encanto, imagine.
01:14He told me that when one came to school, one looked at the musical videos, and I thought
01:19we all did the same.
01:21Of course, there were the TV and videos.
01:25Of course, the musical channels.
01:28How do you live now all that has happened in your career, all these stages?
01:33I'm very focused.
01:35For example, I'm going to finish a song, this month I'm going to tour,
01:39I'm going to publish a memory of how I started in the music.
01:42I'm not talking about my career, but it's a memory of...
01:47Like I did a song called Norteña, that has to do with my family, that has to do with
01:51why...
01:52I mean, the sound of the north inspired me a lot in that song.
01:56Like I said, this is the time to write this book, that has to do with my childhood and adolescence.
02:01Like to ask me why I came to the music, why the music?
02:04And, of course, it ends when I'm going to grab my first album.
02:07I'm not even talking about what it came after.
02:09It's like a way to tell, I don't know, to ask me this inquietude, why, you know?
02:14And that's what I've been doing, because it was a very slow project.
02:19It's a memory project.
02:21And it's nice that then pass these things, I don't know, like this recognition.
02:25And then I say, wow, it's like everything happens in a very magical way, you know?
02:28Look, Julieta, speaking of that journey, right now we're going to get the 100 best songs of 2006.
02:36Me Voy is among those songs that came out for 20 years ago.
02:40Don't make them count, please.
02:43What does that song mean?
02:45That that year was a song so empowered, so powerful, so powerful,
02:49of self-love, of letting go, of knowing when you have to apart from a place where you don't deserve
02:55to be.
02:56What does that song mean today in your career?
02:59Well, a me me emociona a lot when I can in vivo and I see all the groups of friends,
03:02like, ah, cantándola, felices.
03:05Nosotras, sí.
03:06La despechada.
03:07Sí, porque yo cuando la hice, yo me imaginaba con mis amigas just haciendo eso.
03:12Y se me hace muy precioso, porque la verdad es que no la canto con mis amigas.
03:15O sea, como que mis amigas escuchamos otras cosas y cantamos otras.
03:18Pero la verdad, cuando veo a chavas cantando todas juntas, me emociona un montón.
03:21La verdad, digo, es que eso, parece esa canción como para que nos contemos y nos podamos reír un poco
03:25de las desgracias amorosas y decir,
03:28ay, bueno, aquí, o sea, tomemos un poco de...
03:30Una raya más al tigre.
03:31Exactamente.
03:32¿Quién no lo quita, verdad?
03:34Yo soy vivido, nadie te lo quita.
03:35Sí.
03:36Mira, no, hablando de tus amigas, hace poco tú también las haces una canción con Natalia Lafourcade, hermosa,
03:43llevando también esos sonidos.
03:45Y yo estaba viendo el video y la gente ponía, ay, el patrimonio de la humanidad.
03:49¡Qué hermoso!
03:50Las dos juntas.
03:51Qué lindo.
03:52No, pues es que la verdad es que con Natalia, o sea, yo la admiro tanto a Natalia y la
03:56he visto crecer literalmente.
03:58O sea, la he visto como convertirse en esta mujer floreciente con toda esta música, es tan artista.
04:03Yo la admiro mucho, es muy...
04:05Ella también es alguien que de verdad me ha inspirado mucho.
04:08No solamente, digo, la conocí como muy chiquita y luego la he visto eso, como creciendo y floreciendo artísticamente.
04:12Ella es muy emocionante y nos hemos hecho amigas.
04:14Tengo la suerte de que puedo decir que Natalia es mi amiga porque además de admirarla la quiero mucho.
04:20Entonces, me pareció tan hermoso poder cantar con ella esta canción, que es una canción de amistad, de consuelo, de
04:24dos amigas,
04:25sentándose a tomar un mezcal y decir, ay, mi amiga, estoy fatal.
04:28No sé qué onda.
04:30Ajá, es como muy real la canción, es como que no sé qué tengo.
04:35Ajá, no sé qué onda, pero estoy mal, o sea, estoy mal y la verdad es que no estamos hablando
04:39ni de un tipo,
04:40estamos hablando de la vida, o sea, que mola.
04:42A veces la vida nos pone unos baches que de repente no sabes ni para dónde ir y como que
04:46quién te apoya.
04:47Se apoya tu amiga, te tomas unos mezcalitos, lloras un rato y sigues, ¿no?
04:51Porque al final de cuentas pues hay que seguir, ¿no?
04:53Exacto.
