Hablando De La Vida con Daddy Yankee

I had the opportunity to put the name on a mixtape of Playero and from that time on... Playero 34 you named it for the first time reggaeton.

Yes.

You have lyrics of songs that are now different, that you have changed. How do you see that song, for example? Just like you just said, the lyrics change. Because you have changed it too, I understand, right? That's all.

You can't do the same lyrics.

You already answered it, it's obvious. What does God mean in general? Or what does it mean to have a son? I mean, how would you summarize it? The Bible is very clear when it says that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. He is everything, man. He is a relationship, a friend. After so many years of career,

after so many years of life, Daddy, what would you like to do? Or what goals do you have to fulfill? I keep sharing my faith, what fills me at the moment. I'm living a miracle, I suppose I wouldn't be here. Because you were shot, right? Several times. People will wonder,

maybe you will give concerts again as usual. Today I have the luck and the pleasure of having a coffee with Daddy Yankee. Daddy Yankee, how are you? Iba, what's up, my king? Good afternoon, good morning. Good morning, good morning. Good morning, too.

Good afternoon, when you're watching us, there are people on YouTube. A coffee. A coffee. We're here in the morning. We're in Madrid because we're a day after you did a show at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, which I imagine some of you have been able to see, with the NFL. You hadn't been in a concert for three years, right? Three years. Three years. Three years without performing in front of an audience. I was really excited about the visa.

Did you feel weird after so long? Well, no. Not really. I thought I was going to feel a little weird, but on the contrary. When I went in, I felt good.

You left on your own, right?

Yes, naturally. How did people treat you there? In Madrid, in the Bernabéu? Incredible, incredible, too much. I was passing by all the stands, greeting everyone, people asking for photos, I was standing there, greeting both of them.

And we tried to greet everyone. How are you right now in your life? Because you've been a little lost. You came back a month ago with an album, Lamento en Baile, which I'm sure people have heard, but it's true that you haven't been as active as usual.

Why has that been? Well, I was in my search for faith, when I gave myself to the Lord Jesus, and my purpose began, my new purpose, my new change, my new direction began. And I structured everything and I saw it step by step. And that's how I find myself in these moments, taking steps, calmly, without getting tired.

Where I can be effective and being an instrument, that's where I am today. When do you decide to seek faith? What happens in your life to get to that reflection and, let's say, you want to take one more step in that direction? I think that when one reaches the peak of one's life, of what one understands to be the peak,

there comes a moment that perhaps becomes routine. And one says, this is it, there is no more. Then, obviously, my questions begin to inquire within me. Obviously, I also had a personal chaos. There were many things happening in my life. And I went back to re-training, and I had a very young experience. At 19, I gave up my faith, and then I left that path.

And then I went back to re-training at the top of my career, and I said, what was the point in my life where I felt the most peace and tranquility? And it was when I was 19 and I decided to go back on that path of faith. What experience did you have at 19? It was like accepting the Lord. That's what it's called when you accept that as your life, you start walking in faith, you start having a relationship with Him.

Well, at 19, I went through that experience. Then, because of life's things or because of inexperience, I let go of the road. I completely separated myself. And that's when my career explodes, the one that everyone knows, worldwide. And that's when I started to reflect, in an intersection, and I said, how much, despite these 30 years of career, where has your happiest point in your life been?

And I remembered, I reflected, and I said, Oh, it was there. Let me go back to my father's house again. To feel that experience that I felt when I was young. And now you're at that point, like when you were 19 years old? Yes, yes, without a doubt. Without a doubt, that's what happens when you accept the Lord in your life. You create a relationship of friendship with Him.

You have there, I understand, your people in Puerto Rico, your church, your peaceful moment, your tranquility. I think you're very involved, even in the way that you play an instrument there, right?

For people and such, right?

Yes, when I go to church, they call me a drummer. And another one sings. Another one sings and I'm on the drums, I'm playing. I'm like the one who helps the drums, when the drums don't work, they call me. I almost never leave the drums, they call me. I almost never go to the drummer's, they ask me to play.

So I play with a lot of love, I'm not the best percussionist, but if one day a drummer is missing in his band, maybe I can fix it. So, for people to have your offer, Yankee playing the drums,

I know you need it,, he sends you an email. Yeah, he sends me an email, an emergency drummer. Because for you, what does God mean in general? Or what does it mean to have faith? How would you summarize it? Or how do you feel it? So that people can understand us too.

The Bible is very clear when it says that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. He is everything. He is a relationship, a friend. It's not just a temple, you know? Because the temple is a building. When Christ refers to you as your temple, it's because when he lives in you, you are already the temple. So it's a relationship that you have with him in your lifestyle.

And that's why when I share with everyone, I don't impose my faith, but I share it with all of you. Of course, you don't force anyone. No, of course. You share it. I share it, it is important that I do not want a religious fanatic to come to me, on the contrary, I am going to share my faith, it is very

different and that is what Jesus did when he came to life, when he came to the earth, he came to share faith with everyone. Why do you decide to retire and then return? That is, what process do you go through in your head to retire but then also think, maybe it's time to continue with a career in which we could say you've achieved everything, practically, to put it that way. When I decided to leave the stage, it was with a very different vision than the one I have today. I mean, I actually retire, I think my path is going to be very far from the industry,

that was my mentality, my vision, and it was actually easy for me to do it, forgetting all this. So, eventually, life changed me. My personal life changed 180 degrees, as I have told everyone, very differently. And I was reflecting and I actually understand that where I thought I had to go, is where God wants me. Making a change and bringing a light into popular culture.

Apart from what I can do in my journey of faith, where I go and give my testimonies, I give my word, I share the music, but it is very important that there is a light where there may be a lot of need. And that's what you wanted to convey with your latest album, I understand. A month ago you released an album, let's say it's a very different album

than the ones you've released, more related to Christianity, we could say, with what you believe. This is done by the change you have made, I understand, the goddess, you have made a change and that change you have transferred to the music you make. Yes, 100% and it has been noticed from the beginning of the song. When you listen to the song, Who is God?, which is a song that I like a lot, then So Invited, then I'm telling you the order of the album. All the songs go with my rhythm, with my flavor, with my style, but with a message very positive, healthy, that makes a call to the whole family, you know? And to everyone, to my fans who are teenagers,

to those my age, but in general. And it's a song that... An album that I call an atemporal album. Because it's an album that when you talk about the eternal, it's an album that always stays. And the music you're going to release from now on,

is it going to be related to what you believe, with your faith and others? Yes. Or are you going to make a mix of the oldest Ady Yankee with the current Ady Yankee? How are you going to approach it? Well, look, I think my style is my style,

it's my artistic expression, it's my art. I think with Bizarrap, people also realized that. With Bizarrap you also wanted, right? Yes, that was also well centralized in what he gave, but as I told you, sharing it, not imposing it. Strategically speaking, very different. What I like is that I did it that way and people themselves began to inquire about the subject. We take it to the word, we take it to look for what the scriptures are,

and people themselves have realized what I'm talking about. And that's the good thing, that I'm sharing it with people. And that's exactly what I'm doing with music is what I am doing. My style, my artistic way, my art. I see art in many ways. My creative mentality, I can do it from reggaeton, salsa, worship, rap, trap.

Thank God I can do all kinds of music. So, everything I can do in music, I'm going to do it, but always with the aim of delivering a good message. People who said, I think Daddy Yankee at the Bizarrap music session wants to give us a message, or is referring to God, they were right.

I think those who were there investigating were right. Yes, 100%. So that people know that there were a lot of comments, saying, I think it can be, I think it can be. Yes, 100%, but in a way, fromcias de vida, porque pues así yo lo hago. Ahora yo pues tengo unos temas, cuando escucha a la mente en baile, hay temas que están

bien centralizados en la fe, otros en experiencias humanas, como Jardín Rojo, que habla de, pues obviamente sobre el feminicidio. that talks about our concerns, our doubts, our vulnerabilities. They are human experiences, and I'm going to do many songs about that. I also have an album that I'm working on, which is based on love, experiences in love. I'm combining human experiences with what faith is.

You're going to release an album related only to love, let's say. Yes, I'm working on that too. And it's an album that will be released next year, in 2026. Yes, but I'm already working on that. People will ask, maybe, are you going to give concerts again as usual?

Are you going to tour again? Are you going to go to Latin America, to Europe? What do you have in mind? Look, I haven't thought about that. I'm honest. I'm just going step by step. I had so many goals and visions, and it didn't go the way I imagined. God has led me on a very different path.

So I don't dare to say, look, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that. I do have goals, I have projects, but I've realized that sometimes the steps I take are not the ones God wants to lead me on. There's a proverb that says, in the heart of man, think of his own path, but God will straighten his steps. Well, you and I can have many projects many times, and at times unexpected things happen,

that you say, what am I doing here? You know? And it's because there was actually another purpose. Right now in my heart, I'm recording, doing many things, but right now I'm not thinking about it right now. But that purpose can change, right? Something can happen that you stop recording for a while and come back. It could be, but I do have some goals set,

but I go step by step. I already learned that we are going to live the present. With tranquility. Yes, I have some projections, and like everything, everyone makes projections. You make projections, you have goals, we have some goals that we want to achieve, and obviously we prepare to see if they happen on occasion, but there are times when you have to change course. I was thinking, Dadi, that maybe, I don't know if getting that faith back that you had when you were 19 years old, comes from you being in the worst moment of your life, or it wasn't that bad.

You just wanted to be like you were when you were 19 years old, but I was wondering, maybe it's better to regain that faith, being related to the fact that you were in a very bad moment, or how you interpret it. It was a moment of... it was a combination of many things, of looking for a deeper depth, because I did not feel full, despite the fact that I had all the success in the world, I had what anyone would like to dream, what I dreamed of as a child, I had it. So what happens? I thought it was what I was going to do as a human being, but I saw that there was still more to go. So the most is that void that I left, which was Jesus.

So I realized that he let me run the world, he said, okay, run down there, I'm going to let you go, you're going to realize who the path, the truth and the life are. How do you see your career? I mean, looking back, looking back, 30 years of career, you fall on your ass, look at the ceiling, what do you think of your whole career, of everything you've achieved? Well, lessons, I tell you, life lessons.

I take everything as a learning experience. For better or for worse, Romans 8, 28 says that those who love God, all things work for good. In other words, those who have been called, confirm their purpose. In other words, everything that has happened in my life, I have seen a lesson that has made me improve and progress day by day. What happens is that it has been a crazy life too, right?

Yes, 100%. You have lived too many things, right? I am living a miracle there. Those who know my life know that I am a miracle of life. They assume that maybe I... They assume that I wasn't here, speaking. Because you were shot, right? And several times.

So, starting there, we were not supposed to be here. Why were you shot? What happened? Was it a confrontation? Was it something that happens there in the neighborhood? Well, it was a lot of situations.

The truth is that sometimes, Sometimes, when we grow up in PR, when there are problems with one residential and another, when they form and enter, they don't measure. Unfortunately, everyone who is on the way, leaves. Secondary effects, right? Secondary effects. The time indicated, the place indicated at that time.

And then I was the victim. Then growing up, I had two more situations, which obviously came out, and thank God I'm fine. They were also related to the subject of... Of everything. When they talk to me about those things, I say, I don't even like to talk about it.

Those were heavy things and really, it's what I've always said in all my interviews, from young to today, that I wasn't a young emotion saint, you know? So all that was what helped me make good decisions until today. And make a complete change in my life. Do you think that being alive right now is practically a miracle for you? Yes, I'm sure God saved my life for this purpose.

I'm very sure. Did that also affect you when you were doing sports? I think you did a lot of sports as a kid. Because of the problems you had, I think you stopped doing sports. Yes, but the first time I was really dedicated to baseball and boxing. I did boxing as a kid.

I really liked those two sports and basketball. In Puerto Rico, everyone in PR, everyone who is there, they wear boxing gloves in the neighborhood. I don't know, here in Spain, maybe everyone in the neighborhood takes a soccer ball and starts kicking. In Puerto Rico, it's a basketball ball, boxing gloves. Almost everyone has gone through the boxing gym,

we've gone to the field. And when I was about to, very close to the professionals, that's when that happened to me. And it's my attack, and that's where they injured me forever.

That's why sometimes people see me limping, they see me walking with a dumbbell, and people say, oh, what do you think, Iguai? And I say, no, they don't know I limp. Because you have an affected hip, right? So that makes you limp from what happened to you,

from the accident you had. I pass through the airports and I always make noise. I don't know if those who have metal also. I imagine what will happen to people who go through the airports, that they are full of metal, that they have to...

Yes, always. All the time.

When you look back and see that, let's say, you are the creator of reggaeton, let's say that you practically put the word reggaeton to what reggaeton is, I was reading things about you, eras of DJ Playero, very old eras, you feel that you have totally changed the music industry as we know it today, because let's say that what you did has served so that a lot of people can dedicate themselves to music, so that they can dedicate themselves to reggaeton, to urban music in general, right? Do you see this that way too? Well, the impact of this server

has made an industry and not just me, but with the help of DJ Playero, D-Noise, many colleagues that we started as pioneers, we put that seed to make a foundation that today there is a great genre worldwide. I had the opportunity to put the name on a mixtape of Playero, in the Playero 34, where I freestyle,, name the genre. And from that moment... The T-shirt of 34, you named it for the first time, reggaeton.

Yes.

Incredible. You know, you're... From day zero... And the craziest thing was the first time I did freestyle with T-shirt. The first time I met him, I did freestyle and we named it...

And you named it...

The genre. That's been 30 years, right? 35. 35 years since the first time the word appeared and then it became popular, I understand, for everything. Exactly. Why did you put that word? Did it sound familiar?

Yes, because the augmentative, that comes from here from Spain, the augmentative, when you put the augmentative, which is head, big head. Reggae, reggaeton. Reggae, reggaeton, that's the same. That's what I said.

So that's why? Yes, it's our thing, we use it. So that's how it started. It was in Playero 34, Playero 36, but the songs where I mention the genre, and then everyone started to adopt the word.

Until today's Sun, and without a doubt, everything is incredible. Everything we've come to. It's amazing, I'm sure a lot of people don't know about the existence of reggaeton. They'll think, I don't know, that someone invented it. Reggaeton, you were there on the first day. Reggaeton, I mean, it seems incredible to me.

You're telling someone who has lived so much, who has so many experiences, what would you say to people who are perhaps watching us and who are lost right now in life? Let's say that they have no purpose, that the purpose has lost them, that they are in a bad moment, that they are in a bad time, that I understand that you have also been there, right? We have all been there, we are human beings, everyone is going to go through that. And if you have life, number one, you were created with a purpose. God creates one from eternity. And each one of us was created with a different original mold.

Each one of us, we are all special. No one is above anyone else, but everyone has their own skills and characteristics to have a good purpose in life. Don't let yourself be devalued. Your life is worth too much. You know, you are important. If you feel

that you really need help, ask for help. It's not wrong to ask for professional help. Talk to therapists, talk to psychiatrists, talk to good people, professionals, look for health, look for a spiritual guide. My spiritual guides helped me a lot. I share my spiritual guide with everyone, which is Jesus. That is the best of the best, the best teacher. But eventually there are other things that you have to put on the table, which is discipline, determination, exercise, eating well, resting well, reading good books.

And when you create all those habits in your life, no one can stop you.

Have you ever asked for help?

Sure. Yes, of course. I have a very good network of support, and the support networks are important. No hay quien te detenga. ¿Tú has pedido ayuda alguna vez? Claro. ¿Sí? Sí, claro. Tengo una red de apoyo muy buena. Y las redes de apoyo son importantes. Tengo mis amigos, tengo mi familia, tengo mi terapista también, que hablo con ella. Es cristiana.

Nos entendemos bien. A pesar que tiene todo lo universitario y todo lo mejor. No me parece estudio, ¿verdad? Estudio. and all the best... It's not like studies, right? Studies, we also have the same faith, but it's very important, you know, faith and someone professional who also helps you

understand very well life situations, which are sometimes complex, because they give you a point of view apart where you can understand many things. It's a combination of everything, but above all things,

you are the one who decides. You are the one who decides everything. When you need help, when not, when... The power is in you. The power is in you, and there is no irresponsibility to other people from your responsibility. It is very important that you understand that the decisions are yours, and you are the one who makes the decisions. If you decide to stay there, or you don't decide to stay.

In your spiritual life, you told me that it was Jesus. Yes. I understand that you talk to him or go to him regularly, regardless of whether you're okay or not. Do you do it daily to understand him? Of course. That's the beauty of Jesus, that it's a relationship. I get up in the morning, I connect, I start to pray, I read the word, I look. So that word that you read is the one that internalizes inside you and creates a consciousness where it leads you to do things correctly.

You have to read, you have to connect with it, and you already create a relationship. That's very simple. There is no intermediary, it is you and it. And that's why once you know it and accept it in your heart, a friendship with it begins. This was curious to me because there are many people who go to church

when they are sick, maybe, many times to even ask for a miracle or to look for something that is impossible. But in this case, you do it every day, regardless of whether you're feeling well or not. In the morning, you start, as you say, with your spiritual life.

Of course. It's a lifestyle, you know? And when we see each other again, I always take everyone to the best example, which was the teacher, Jesus. When I see that life, it is that to me, personally, that life of his captivates me a lot,

how he lived. When I look at him, how did he live, that everything was so peaceful, calm, love, how can I get to that point? Well, I study the best, let me study him, you understand? I look for what he did and he did all that. He would move away, pray, he was calm, he was temperate. When everyone fell on him, he kept everything under control. Very happy. The happiest being that existed on the face of the earth was him. That's something that is not talked about much, his joy.

He was the happiest guy on the face of the earth. You would like to connect with that joy too, right? I mean, I understand that... Sure. I understand that. Of course. That's why I'm making a pretty happy music, pretty good, because I think it's one of the biggest lies that has been said by people who pursue faith, that we are boring. You know?

And it's quite the opposite. We are full of joy and joy. After so many years of career, after so many years of life, Dadi, what would you like or what goals do you have to fulfill? What dreams do you have to fulfill from here until this is over? We hope it will be within many years, but what do you have left from here? Well, look, to continue sharing my faith, what fills me at the moment.

Again, to do it in a dynamic, creative way, in a way where everyone feels that they are invited. Through music too, right? Yes, through music, testimony. Obviously, I have business goals too, like when you go to my Instagram, the first thing it says is disciple of Christ, musician and businessman.

I mean, I'm still a businessman, I'm still a person who creates business, creates opportunities for me, for others. They invite me to give testimonies, I go, if I make music, I do it, but all with a purpose where there is a super positive environment now, very healthy and centralized in faith, and this time with Jesus. What business do you have right now? What have you set your goals a little?

I'm very involved in sports. In sports. In sports. In football, right? I had seen everything, I created a company, D.Y. Sports, where right now we are well centralized in everything that is sports, and sports that make authentic sense with what I have been, you know? And with what goes with me in PR, which is quite involved in what is baseball,

basketball, right now I had the opportunity to make an alliance with the NBA to take an NBA academy to Puerto Rico, which we had never had before. And since Puerto Rico is the first market, sorry, the first sport that was played in PR, it was basketball.

So I took the academy there and now padel, I'm promoting padel, which they tell me you play a lot of padel. Yes, yes, yes, I play a lot of padel. Do you know that Spain is a country of padel? Very hard. And you have taken a lot of padel to Puerto Rico, right? I understand that it was a sport that was not played much.

It was not played. And now it started in PR too, to play a lot. They are doing a lot of fields, the sport is growing a lot there, because it is really a very entertaining sport. You have to do a padel one day.

Yes.

Padel is top. Yes. I love it. I'm addicted. I think I practice it, just like I practice baseball, when I'm in PR, I go to a gym that I sponsor, in Bayamón, for boxing. I practice a lot there, and now I also like to do padel. You're very focused on sport, right? From what I see, you like it a lot, right?

I was a kid who always did sports, man. Remember that in the time when I grew up, there was no cell phone, no network, what we are of our generation, that was pure sport, pure sport, out, you know, sport and school all the time, and being there, in that environment, that's my essence, 100%.

Sport, all the... They didn't even tell me it was for life, kid, that was a character that did all the sports, that caricature. So they told me like that, joking, because he did all the sports, he got me into all the sports. You grew up without social networks, of course, you didn't have Instagram, right?

Nothing, nothing.

When you were young. It was pure sport, the entertainment, pure sport, and running on the bike outside. Spending all the time, right? Spending all the time. Yes, I remember that to take directions, we had to memorize, go down this street, turn left, turn there.

It was a mental GPS that we all had, you know? And people stopped, the one in the corner, look where this street is, yes, I'll tell you, turn right. When you ask for the street, where to go, right? I'm not the one who's going to be on the street. I'll say it with my right hand. When you ask on the street, where should you go?

That's lost. That's lost completely. I think that, obviously, I also like all the new technology. Thank God everything exists. It helps a lot in many things, of course. A lot. I love everything that's happening in the networks.

You know, the networks for me are a tool that connects a lot. You're very active on social media. You like them a lot, don't you? I like them. For me, it's a great tool if you know how to use it. I like to look for a lot of educational content. You know how I can keep growing. I think there's a lot of good information on social media.

You can connect with good people and you can have a lot of healthy interaction. But it's like everything, the extremes are bad, if you take it to the extreme, it will affect you. Do you follow the music industry a lot today? Do you listen to the new artists that are coming out, the new songs, or do you stay away from this? Yes, I keep myself away from it. I keep myself away from it. I have Jeremy, who is my boy, who is a producer. And I always ask him, Jeremy, Jeremy, what's going on? What's going on? What's playing?

What's playing? Put me there. And he comes and says, this is what's playing. This, this. That's where he guides me. But in your day to day, let's say you're not usually very connected to music today.

No, no, no.

It's just that I've always been like... And it's not from now, but from always. You know, I've always been a person that... I flow with what comes to me at the moment, almost always. Yeah. Yes.

What do you listen to in your day to day, for example? Do you listen to something emotional? I listen to a lot... I like well-cheap, I like it a lot. I like urban music, the guys from La Fe, you know, like... Alexur, Redimido in the south, I listen to Onel, my brother Ayala, I listen to Pablo, you know, I really like

to always keep up with the trend, and sometimes I really like the instrumentals, you know, to see, I look for a lot of Afrobeat instrumentals, trap instrumentals, instrumentals that can inspire you too. A lot of instrumental music, everything new. Sure, because you can make music more related to Christian music, with Christianity, but with a bit of trap or a bit of fadid, which is also what you've done on your last album. That's what I did.

It can be fun and...

Sure.

And make this kind of music too. Well, I listen to a lot of instrumental music. I like to listen to the instrumental music to, the musical trends, that's what I do. Do you still follow sports? NBA, football, do you try to follow it? You watched the NFL yesterday, for example, with Miami Dolphins. That was crazy, you know? Because that's the sport I follow when they're almost in the finals. The Super Bowl, right?

I like the Super Bowl, I don't know if it's like... It happens to us all a bit. Right? I like Super Bowl. I don't know if it's like... It happens to us all a bit. You don't follow anything, but Super Bowl. I'm always a fan of Super Bowl. I like to watch Super Bowl, what happens in halftime, all the artists, I like to watch that. But I do follow a lot of NBA.

But the sport I follow the most is boxing and MMA. That if you are up to date and see it. Yes, I think that boxing and UFC is what I follow the most. I'm always active there. Because it's already in what I grew up. The contact sport.

You were doing it since you were little too. I have a question, Dali, because, of course, you said you had reconnected with that faith that you had from a very young age. Has this also made the lyrics of your songs change compared to what was the old school, so to speak. That is, there are lyrics of songs

that are now different, that you have changed, that there are expressions that you may not like to use, because you don't like to project the lyrics that you may have used 20 years ago. That topic, for example, how do you see it? Just as you just said, the lyrics change. Because you've changed them too, I understand. That's all.

You can't do the same lyrics.

You already answered it, it's obvious. When you change, the lyrics change. And I think that's what Jesus does in you. When you already know him, he starts to project you as healthy as possible. You are very focused on positive and healthy, outside of what many artists are, which we see is more related to day-to-day, to showing off, to money. You know it better than anyone, right?

Many artists you've been with, you've been through that stage. Yes, I've been through it. And that's why I don't judge anyone by the shoes I'm wearing. On the contrary, by the motives. You know, it can be changed you can project and so on. Sure, you don't judge those who do it because you did it, you were there.

Sure, because I don't have to. On the contrary, I have to motivate them and say that you can do it, that you can do things and we can make a great camera. You're also in a maturity and a moment. Some of them are still 20, 25 years old. They are just starting. Exactly, and that's why I understand them.

When they talk to me, they tell me, I'm doing this, I'm doing that. God bless you, I understand you. I wish you all the best, I wish you success, but don't forget that the best ingredient is in your heart.

They tell me, I know, amen. And I never forget. You were there and with a lot of success. Yesterday we were recording with Biza, you were there, I was there, and there were two Italian girls who didn't speak Spanish, I looked at them and they said,

look, it's the one with the gasoline. You've been successful, you've been to China, you've been to Italy, you've been to India. You've been totally international. People who don't speak Spanish have heard you.

That's something totally incredible.

I was in Italy recently, and I'll never forget it. I was with my son, my daughter, we were there. And there's a guy listening to one of my songs in the ice cream shop, and I'm coming in, and that guy was like... for him and for me, because I'm coming in, and he's listening to my songs and he's right in front of me.

He was in shock, he said, what is this? I can't believe this, I'm watching you in the ice cream shop,

the song is here, and you're here...

And in Italy, which is... Yes, in Italy. In theory, they don't speak Spanish, but hey, you're listening to it. Exactly, and I was listening to one of the songs, and I took out the photo, and I was like, what was that? And I said, it's incredible, that the music of one sounds in places so unexpected. Yes, yes, bro.

The flights, it was hard. Thank you. I hope one day you can be there and come and see it or do whatever you want because I would love it. And you like boxing more than anything else. No, that's why I tell you, I love what you do with boxing. I love it. I'm a big fan of Felix's boxing. I think people don't understand how much of a fan I am of boxing. Too much.

Too much. And MMA, UFC, all that. I'm a big fan of contact sports. That's why I like the real deal, everything you do. You're more than welcome. I think you'll have a great time, for sure. And you can come with whoever you want. Thank you very much to all your people, to those who are watching, and if you allow me to tell you that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life,

may God always bless you and may the Master always come. Thank you very much, Daddy Yankee. God bless you, dad. Always. Thank you, Ibai. Blessings to everyone. A hug to everyone. I don't think you expected it, a coffee at a hotel in Madrid. Lamento en Baile, the album. Exactly. It's true. Lamento en Baile on YouTube,

which came out just a month ago. Lamento en Baile. How many songs are there in total? There are 19. 19 songs. 19 new albums, look for it.

From the first to the last one, an album that will put you in a good mood an album that will put you in a good mood and will bring you closer to faith, 100%.
