Colombian superstar on getting lost with Diplo, maintaining spiritual balance in a crisis
“We have to learn how to promote music in this moment,” he says. “I’ve always been competitive; I want to make records, and sell them. But I’m [saving] that competitive vibe for another time. It’s time to bring more color to the world.”Well normally when I drop an album, we’ll throw a huge party, I’ll do all these interviews, I’ll go to Jimmy Fallon. But everything was canceled, you know? I’m doing some Instagram Live [videos], which I think is dope and different.
I’m just a student learning every day… But I learned that you really have to connect with yourself. I meditate twice a day. I can’t deny that sometimes I get frustrated… But then I’m grateful that I have a place to sleep, food to eat, people to talk to. I’m healthy. So I start from being grateful. When you start by being grateful for every little detail, then you see how blessed you are. Do exercise. I mean, you can also do pushups in your house, just walk around the room. You don’t need a gym.
That global mindset came through the strongest in “Arcoíris,” with [Nigerian artist] Mr Eazi. You also collaborated with him on “Como Un Bebé” fromThat’s what we need! That’s why the song’s called “Arcoíris,” because it’s a mix of colors. Mixing Afrobeats and reggaeton. Mr Eazi, myself, Michael Brun on the production… We want to keep refreshing the game. I’m so proud of being Latino, but besides that, we need to take Latino Gang to another level.
We went to a friend’s farm to work on the album. We were also playing football, driving motorcycles and four wheelers. After all that came the music. We had to enjoy the process of doing the album, too.We got stuck on the motorcycles for hours. Diplo is definitely crazy, he’s a wild dude. [] We got home and [realized] one of the producers got lost — this producer Dee Mad from Paris — and it took us four hours to find him.
