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 5 (00:51):
Could you see yourself living here forever? Or is it
wearing you down?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
I don't think forever, because as a Columbia we love
like farms and big places like big land, and here
is too rush for me a little bit. But I
was in what was Blush, and I was like I
could ride back cicles, I could go out and see
the life style people was getting like tan in the
Pearls part the peers. It's crazy to see when it's

Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
It's not glowing from doing that.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
It's crazy because I have to say that in my
I don't know if you say it by my benefit.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I have to say that I didn't know it was
a river. Okay, I was in a place.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
What did you think it was?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I don't know, like the ocean or.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
There was people doing that ski at that specific moment
and I was like, oh my god, we're here. I
was in a studio like getting ready for the VMAs
and out like it was like so hot, and I
was like, what about if we jump to the osin
it's going to be amazing. And they want to put
the documentary out. Everyone likes, oh my god, survived to
(02:10):
the Hutson. Why what is that bad about it?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
It has all sorts of things lurking and their diseases and.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
It's like body marinate.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, when they dun't the bodies like I sarved you.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So if you can survive the Hudson, you can survive anything.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah. I see now I am prepared for like hard
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
You can do it, You can do anything. So I
have a party girl voice today. Can you hear that?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
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 wear bright, fruity clothes like
I have to say.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
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 1 (02:57):
But I love your heir because it's really a tropic
mood and vibe.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Thank you. This shirt used to be curtains in my house.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Oh but that's all about that. This used to be
like a crtain.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
To 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 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.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Were you a little hesitant?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Its a rtization to say, let's do this this way.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
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,
No my life, I think a normal life. And I
think right now in the sport that we are with
social media, like everything is so perfect. We go if
(03:55):
we go to social media, like everyone is so happy,
everyone is so successful on it 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. So let me show the realness
(04:17):
of the thing. And for me it was hard because
I don't know, but I think sometimes people.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Don't like leaders to be weak, to have weakness, or
to be you know that vulnerable exactly.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
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, you're gonna get the points.
So I think that was the most important thing for
me to show the realness in this documentary.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
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 1 (05:06):
I cry a lot. I cry a lot. I have
to say that. I cry a light. I cried more done.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
What you cry about last? Last time you cry?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You know?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
If I listened to my album, I cried just because
for me is to be able to.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Get things done.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I don't know, like to have the opportunity to think
about something and to get it done. It's always a blessing,
is a privilege, I don't know. It's it's hard.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Sometimes to get things done.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
So for me, I cry 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 1 (05:44):
I was born in February fourteen.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Please I have love my blood, I she cries, I'm
going to cry.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Again, I'm going to cry.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
I read as part of your bio that you once
a year read the four agreements. Which the four is
that right? Do you have one of them that is
your favorite?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Not taking the things personal?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
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 get it like in myself. Because
to have a public life is to be able to
get noise all the time, good uplauses and everything, bad
comments and hate and everything. So for me try to
(06:31):
not get things personal and just think about it in
my intentions.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
That's hard, but I think it's something that I tried
to read. Keep reading, keep reading. Oh that's a really
good book.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
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
exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
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 4 (06:55):
Oh yeah, I have to, Yeah, because that's even worst
that the Hudson River.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
People need to.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Think about, Like I jump in Hudson River, where you
spend the whole day, like reading comments in social media.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
That's worse.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It's worse to media for sure.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I have to do it. Like when I I love
to travel with my friends.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
That's my thing instead of like going out and everything.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I like to take like vacations with them.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
And when I do it, I try to have a
different phone just to take freg pictures with them. With
my friends and being out of everything, I think it's
really good to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
It's important.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
So our friend Claudia is joining us from one point
seven in Miami, and 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.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Your point was, what was it, Claudia.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Yeah, it's a male dominated urban reggaeton ito 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 you have to continue to be that role model
in that genre.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I think I used to think about like that all
the time. But with my last album, with the process
was different.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
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, 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
(08:36):
I am and let's show let's.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Be a voice for all of those people.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
So I think right now I see it as I
feel really happy and blessed that I.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Could get to this point in my life.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
There had been so much years, so many years, for
so much 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 feel in that I still feel sometimes.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
So I don't know, I see it in a with
a great attitude.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I think that there's so much work to do for
women in the industry, in different industries.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Because I'm not gonna say that it's just music.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I think in every single position, girls have to fight
a lot for the respect for the position.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So let's keep doing like.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Not just me, you right there, you're right here, and
you're right there, and all of us. We have so
much work to do to keep like evolving our genre.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I think I love it.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I love that you lift up all the women in
the musical history, like you even have tattoos of people
like Rihanna. So yeah, so much.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
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. Not in a bad way, but.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Lot.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I'm like, oh, sorry, I just turned to him and
I was like, sorry, not about it, but yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
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.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
On people's hands and hearts.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
And Rihanna, I don't know, she is there in all
the business the strange she has to be the more
powerful girl in the world, not losing who you are
and having the freddy moments and the really hard moments
when she has to say like I'm the boss.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So I really get a lot of from that.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Let's talk about you want to talk about an artist.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
She's incredible.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Did you just you just dropped into her d MS
and said, yo, it's Carol.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I got her personal number. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I had a friend, we had a friend together, the
same friend, and I was like, can you.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Please tell her that I really love to get connected
with her. I don't want to just send her the message.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
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 do something. And yeah, I just 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 did. Even when I was in
(11:25):
the video, she was doing like dancing and everything.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I was like, oh my god. I had all all
of her videos and her career.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
They just passing in my mind and I was like,
it's incredible to see her and to uh grew 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 1 (11:46):
I was like, Okay, I don't know if this is
a yeah, exactly I myself.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
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 (12:02):
She couldn't speak English. When she first came here to
just talk to.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Us, she couldn't speak English. And then next time she
came to see us, she spoke better English than we.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Oh my god, she speaks and she didn't have accent.
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
She No, I need to like my accent. I have
a really hard accent.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
If you, if I speak you, you have to say
that I'm Columbia or whatever, because we where I've come from.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
In my agen in Colombia, we have a really hard
accent that I think the way we.
Speaker 1 (12:29):

flowers amazing.

that have the accent.

the accent of you want to speak Spanish.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah it's cool. I don't know, it's yeah. It shows
where you're from.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Somebody putting in some effort.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Let's talk about the album Tropy perfect exactly. It's tropical
and a little flirty exactly. It's just it's a it's
a fun listen. I mean it really, you really do
have a fantastic job on this album, and you got
to collaborate with some good friends.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah. 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, to 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 1 (13:46):
I have I spent so much time.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
In the studio with different musicians, like creating the arrangements
and everything, and I learned so much.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
And I love to.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
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 1 (14:03):
I don't know, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Even I have a song with Pharrel and when I
was in the studio with him and I was like, Oh,
this is my way to go right now. So if
we're gonna do something together is going to be the
more the most Latino version of Aharrel. And it's one
of the most important songs for me in the album
and one that the people my fans love the most.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Bonita.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
It's an amazing song and I think for me to
be able to in this in this part of my
career where I might to show the world our culture
and our.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Traditions and how it sound, it's amazing. I love it.
Speaker 2 (14:38):

would sound with her accent and with her sounds in English.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Not taking the things personal?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
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 get it like in myself. Because
to have a public life is to be able to
get noise all the time, good uplauses and everything, bad
comments and hate and everything. So for me try to
(06:31):
not get things personal and just think about it in
my intentions.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
That's hard, but I think it's something that I tried
to read. Keep reading, keep reading. Oh that's a really
good book.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
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
exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
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 4 (06:55):
Oh yeah, I have to, Yeah, because that's even worst
that the Hudson River.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
People need to.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Think about, Like I jump in Hudson River, where you
spend the whole day, like reading comments in social media.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
That's worse.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It's worse to media for sure.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I have to do it. Like when I I love
to travel with my friends.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
That's my thing instead of like going out and everything.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I like to take like vacations with them.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
And when I do it, I try to have a
different phone just to take freg pictures with them. With
my friends and being out of everything, I think it's
really good to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
It's important.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
So our friend Claudia is joining us from one point
seven in Miami, and 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.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Your point was, what was it, Claudia.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Yeah, it's a male dominated urban reggaeton ito 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 you have to continue to be that role model
in that genre.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I think I used to think about like that all
the time. But with my last album, with the process
was different.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
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, 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
(08:36):
I am and let's show let's.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Be a voice for all of those people.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
So I think right now I see it as I
feel really happy and blessed that I.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Could get to this point in my life.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
There had been so much years, so many years, for
so much 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 feel in that I still feel sometimes.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
So I don't know, I see it in a with
a great attitude.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I think that there's so much work to do for
women in the industry, in different industries.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Because I'm not gonna say that it's just music.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I think in every single position, girls have to fight
a lot for the respect for the position.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So let's keep doing like.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Not just me, you right there, you're right here, and
you're right there, and all of us. We have so
much work to do to keep like evolving our genre.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I think I love it.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I love that you lift up all the women in
the musical history, like you even have tattoos of people
like Rihanna. So yeah, so much.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
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. Not in a bad way, but.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Lot.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I'm like, oh, sorry, I just turned to him and
I was like, sorry, not about it, but yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
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.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
On people's hands and hearts.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
And Rihanna, I don't know, she is there in all
the business the strange she has to be the more
powerful girl in the world, not losing who you are
and having the freddy moments and the really hard moments
when she has to say like I'm the boss.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So I really get a lot of from that.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Let's talk about you want to talk about an artist.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
She's incredible.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Did you just you just dropped into her d MS
and said, yo, it's Carol.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I got her personal number. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I had a friend, we had a friend together, the
same friend, and I was like, can you.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Please tell her that I really love to get connected
with her. I don't want to just send her the message.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
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 do something. And yeah, I just 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 did. Even when I was in
(11:25):
the video, she was doing like dancing and everything.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I was like, oh my god. I had all all
of her videos and her career.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
They just passing in my mind and I was like,
it's incredible to see her and to uh grew 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 1 (11:46):
I was like, Okay, I don't know if this is
a yeah, exactly I myself.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
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 (12:02):
She couldn't speak English. When she first came here to
just talk to.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Us, she couldn't speak English. And then next time she
came to see us, she spoke better English than we.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Oh my god, she speaks and she didn't have accent.
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
She No, I need to like my accent. I have
a really hard accent.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
If you, if I speak you, you have to say
that I'm Columbia or whatever, because we where I've come from.

where you're from.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Somebody putting in some effort.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Let's talk about the album Tropy perfect exactly. It's tropical
and a little flirty exactly. It's just it's a it's
a fun listen. I mean it really, you really do
have a fantastic job on this album, and you got
to collaborate with some good friends.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah. 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, to 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 1 (13:46):
I have I spent so much time.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
In the studio with different musicians, like creating the arrangements
and everything, and I learned so much.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
And I love to.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
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 1 (14:03):
I don't know, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Even I have a song with Pharrel and when I
was in the studio with him and I was like, Oh,
this is my way to go right now. So if
we're gonna do something together is going to be the
more the most Latino version of Aharrel. And it's one
of the most important songs for me in the album
and one that the people my fans love the most.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Bonita.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
It's an amazing song and I think for me to
be able to in this in this part of my
career where I might to show the world our culture
