Bad Bunny continues to enjoy his world fame, which is why this time he was interviewed by actor Benicio del Toro.
Although in recent years Benito has maintained a complicated relationship with his followers, the singer said he was lucky to have the preference of the public that does not speak Spanish.
It’s like I’ve always said, music has no language. Obviously reggaeton with its Afro-Caribbean roots and that rhythmic pattern that makes you dance, you can’t help but follow it. With that line, I can connect with people. That’s the biggest challenge today with music: connecting with people. There are artists who sing at an incredible level, but they fail to connect.”
Great attribute
In this sense, the singer pointed out the great attribute that has made him gain followers among reggaeton lovers.
“Part of why I’ve won over fans is because I’m honest, whether it’s through songs about fucking, sex, love, sadness or Puerto Rico. I don’t want to be someone I’m not, and I reflect that in how I present myself on the streets, on social media, and in my interviews. I’m not being fake. I think people, no matter what language they speak, can feel it,” she stressed.
During the talk with Del Toro for Interview magazine, the Puerto Rican revealed that beyond his taste for the salsa genre, he has great admiration for “Corridos Tumbados.”
“I’ve been waiting for salsa to re-emerge (…) I don’t know if you’re aware of what’s happening with the Mexican artists who sing corridos tumbados, Peso Pluma and a new wave of young people who are taking regional Mexican music and transforming it into something modern and current. They are taking the world by storm. “Mexican music is popular again in a really great way,” she expressed.
If I had not been successful
Already confident, Benito Martínez confessed what he would have dedicated himself to if his musical career had not paid off.
“I dreamed a lot about having this career (…) Sometimes I said: ‘damn, if this shouldn’t be like this, I don’t know what I’ll do because I don’t have another dream.’ But obviously I had to be realistic (…) so I went to university. I had my job [embolsando comestibles en Econo] to at least pay for gasoline. If I wasn’t going anywhere with my music, I was going to work in the culinary arts. I saw cooking as something creative because of course, there are recipes, but there is also the opportunity to make your own dishes, to create your own flavor,” she stated.
