00:00How can you get a great award?
00:04How are you doing?
00:04It is fascinating and I also love it.
00:10I love it because I am very well.
00:11I love it as I love it.
00:13I love Rosa, who has been with artists.
00:17I have been with Janina, who is in the band of War.
00:21I think that they are women who I love it.
00:24I love it.
00:27There have been few ladies for me, because in the Dominican Republic, the women until now
00:36had only been in the part of vocalist, balladist, but in the part of the music, as a recordist,
00:47as a producer, I had references to men, like Lucas, the piano, Ramón Orlando, many.
00:56Before I was in Santo Domingo, the woman was not so put in the part of production, because
01:07it's the part where I work more at, the music, so I didn't have a reference from the Republic
01:16of America.
01:16Well, I feel so, really, because there are many years of career, I have 44 years of career
01:22and 38 years since I founded my company, so, of course, resumir that recognition in the
01:28United States, in the Academy of Latinas, it's an honor to me, I'm very happy.
01:33Well, look, I always, and this is what I tell my little sister, I tell my little sister,
01:36when I'm a little older, I never put limits on what I thought I could do.
01:41Independiently, I know that it looks a little manual, but it's real.
01:44I come from a town in the middle of the nada, in Spain, I don't know if I was a
01:48place with
01:48opportunities there waiting for nothing, but I always knew I could do more than what I was
01:54doing.
01:54So, it's like, he doesn't put limits because sometimes we don't put limits on it.
01:57So, it's going to take away from us.
01:59And what advice do you have to do, or, or, that a woman told you and you have to do
02:05all
02:05of it?
02:06Well, look, I think, Rebecca León, who will give me this recognition today, me
02:12told me, once you don't give me a seat at the table, not seat at the table, but what
02:16do you do with that seat?
02:17Once you get to the position of power, you have to use it, you have to use it for the
02:21right reasons.
02:22So, I think that's something that showed me that I always kept recording.
