The last five months, I've been based in New York,
like moving around, going back and forth. But I was
doing some things here for my album. So I was
here in New York and I get to know the
place from a different perspective and I'm loving it.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Everyone likes, oh my god, Kara survived to the Hudson.
Why what is that fad about it?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
It has all sorts of things lurking and their diseases.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
And it's like body marinate.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, when they dumped the bodies like idea. So if
you can survive the Hudson, you can survive anything.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Yeah, I see now I am prepared for like hard
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You can do it, you can do anything. So I
have a party girl voice today. Can you hear that?
I was up all night dancing to your album. It
is so much fun. It's such a fun album. It
makes you want to dance, It makes you want to party,
It makes you want to weark bright, fruity clothes.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Like I have to say.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I was about to say that when I say that,
but I was like, no, maybe I need to be
like it's lower with the things.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But I love your hair because it's really a tropic mood.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And five, this shirt used to be curtains in my house.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, but that's all about that. Did used to be
like a carton too.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I wore my couch. I wore my couch yesterday. It
was a great day, great shirt. So let's talk about it.
Let's go back to the documentary. Okay, So what do
I feel like exposing you and your vulnerabilities in life?
And like it was real. It wasn't like you on
stage with lights, it was you backstage with no lights.
Were you a little hesitant? It was a hard.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Decision to say, let's do this this way.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I don't know, but I think I was already like
talking about it like earlier. And the thing about that
documentary is it's like the open door to a normal life,
not my life, I think a normal life. And I
think right now in the spot that we are with social.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Media, like everything is so perfect, we go if.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
We go to social media, like everyone is so happy,
everyone is so successful, everyone is so perfect, bodies are
so amazing, and everything is so amazing. And I was like,
what about to show the realness of a process, like
being a success person, being a good having a good body,
has a process, has sacrifices, has like a process at efforts.
(04:12):
So let me show the realness of the thing. And
for me it was hard because I don't know, but
I think sometimes people.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Don't like leaders to be.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Weak, to have weakness, or to be you know that
vulnerable exactly. They just expect us to be really strong
for any situation. But the real thing about all of
us is we have situations and it's hard to go
to all of them. But when you do it and
you have the strength and you're trusting yourself and everything,
(04:42):
you're gonna get the point. So I think that was
the most important thing for me to show the realness
in this documentary.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I'm glad you did. And you know, and some people
do say being vulnerable is a weakness. I think it's
a strength. I think it takes guts to expose your
true feelings. So not at all tears. If you cry sometimes.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I cry a lot. I cry. I have to say
that I cry a light. I cried more than what.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
You cry about last last time you cry, you.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Know, if I listen to my album, I cried just.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Because for me to be able to.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Get things done, I don't know, like to have the
opportunity to think about something and to get it done,
it's always a blessing.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It's a privilege. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
It's it's hard sometimes to get things on. So for me,
I cried because of that. I cried because I laughed
so much and I cried. I cried because something touched
me in a really hard way, and I cried, and
I just cried.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I was born in February fourteen. Please I have love
my blood.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I'm going to cry.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I'm going to cry.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
I read as part of your bio that you once
a year read the four Agreements, which the four is
that a right? Do you have one of them that
is your favorite.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Not taking the things personal.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
That's I think I need to read this book every
single year because, uh, that's the most important thing for
me right now to.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Get it like in myself.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Because to have a public life is to be able
to get noise all the time, good uplauses and everything, bad,
bad comments and hate and everything. So for me try
to not get things personal and just think about it
in my intentions. That's hard, but I think it's something
that I tried to read. Keep reading, keep reading. Oh
(06:36):
that's a really good book.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Which about all the time, especially specifically the one that
you said, which was don't take anything personally. What others
do or say is a reflection of them, not you.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Exactly, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Do you ever take like a break from social media
so you just don't even have to look at it
or deal with any of it?
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Oh yeah, I have to, Yeah, because that's even worst
than the Hudson River. Well I need to think about,
like I jump in Hudson River, where you spend the
whole day like reading comments.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
In social media. That's worse. It's worse to media, for sure.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I have to do it. Like when I love to
travel with my friends. That's my thing. Instead of like
going out and everything. I like to take like vacsis
with them. And when I do it, I try to
have a different phone just to take fit pictures with them.
With my friends and being out of everything. I think
it's really good to do it. It's important.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
So our friend Claudia is joining us from ONT seven
in Miami. We were talking earlier while I was in
traffic rushing the gate here to see you about what
it's like being a woman in the business. Your point was,
what was it, Claudia.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Yeah, it's a male dominated urban reggaeton itto world and
you're a woman that's highlighting and stealing the show in
a lot of cases. How does it feel and what's
the mindset you have to continue to be that role
model in that genre.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I think I used to think about like that all
the time. But with my last album, with the process
was different. I was having a moment in my life
where I was just doing music and I just put
everything together and I just put the album out and
that was the thing that made a clique with my fans,
(08:20):
And so that teaches me that people need realness from
leaders and artists and everything, So that gave me the
strength to say, like, oh, so let's just fight for
who I am and let's show let's be a voice
for all of those people. So I think right now
I see it as I feel really happy and blessed
(08:41):
that I could get to this point in my life.
There had been so much years, so many year for
somch things that I lost that I have to get
away from me to get to here right now. But
I am super happy and I feel so responsible and
compromise to be the voice of all of my girls
that they feel the same way that I used to
(09:02):
feel in that I still feel sometimes.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
So I don't know, I see it in a with
a great attitude.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
I think that there's so much work to do for
women in the industry, in different industries, because I'm not
gonna say that it's just music. I think in every
single position, girls have to fight a lot for the
respect for the position. So let's keep doing like not
just me, you right there, you're right here, and you're
right there, and all of us we have so much
(09:27):
work to do to keep like evolving our genre.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I think I love it.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I love that you lift up all the women in
the musical history, like you even have tattoos of people
like Rihanna, So yeah, I love them so much.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Yes, I think I get the input of all of
the girls that the music that I used to listen
to and everything. I get the energy more from women
than men.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Not in a bad way. But I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I just turned to him and I was like, sorry,
not in about but yeah, I have Rihanna tattoo, I
have Selena. I think for me to see those girls that,
even Selena, because she's still a legend even if she's
not here, she's still on people's hands and hearts. And Rihanna,
I don't know, she is there in all the business.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
The strange she has to.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Be the more powerful girl in the world, not losing
who you are and having the fretty moments and the
really hard moments when she has to say like I'm
the boss.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
So I really get a lot of from that.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Let's talk about you want to talk about an artist.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
She's incredible.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Did you just you just dropped into her d MS
and said, yo.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
It's I got her personal number? Yeah, I was.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I had a friend, we had a friend together, the
same friend, and I was like, can you please tell
her that I really love to get connected with her.
I don't want to just send her the message, please
let her know that I really would love to save
myself to show her something. And she sent the name
and the number, so I think she was open to
(11:09):
do something.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And yeah, I just.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Called her and I was like, Hey, I'm in the
studio I have this song. I don't know if you
would love to jump in, and she.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Did and.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Dream even when I was in the video she was
doing like dancing and everything.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I was like, oh my god, I had all all
of her.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Videos and her career they just passing in my mind
and I was like, it's incredible to see her and
to uh grow like to grow up like watching her
videos and watching her was like so inspiring that for me,
like being there was so choking, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I was like, Okay, I don't know if this.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Is a.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah exactly I myself.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
But it was a great grade, I think, even for
my Columbian people from our Latina culture. But I think
one of the top years in my in my career
for sure.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
She couldn't speaking was when she first came here to
just talk to us.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
She couldn't speak English. And then next time she came
to see us. She spoke better English than.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
She speaks and she didn't have accent. It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
She no, I need to like my accent. I have
a really hard accent if you, if I speak you,
you have to say that I'm Columbia or whatever, because
we where I've come from in my aging in Colombia,

it's a fun listen. I mean it really, you really

to collaborate with some good friends. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Like I have to say to this album was the
craziest and the more joyful thing in my career because
this album. To be able to know you have the
homework for me to show the world our different Latina
sounds and all the different instruments that we used to
putting the songs was amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I have I spent so much time.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
In the studio with different musicians, like creating the arrangements
and everything, and I learned so much. And I love
to see how people they listen to the music and
they danced to the song and they get connected to
the vibration, to the energy.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I don't know, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (14:00):

was in the studio with him and I was like, Oh,

we're gonna do something together is going to be there
the most Latino version of Hrel And it's one of
the most important songs for me in the album and
one that the people my fans love the Mostita. It's
