\n\tBeto Montenegro explains how the Caribbean mindset has shaped Rawayana\u2019s eighth album.<\/p>\n
\n\tBeto Montenegro:\u00a0I think it\u2019s about enjoying it, I don\u2019t know. That speech was written that morning, so no, no, no, you don\u2019t plan that much either. I feel very happy. I think it\u2019s one of those songs, one of those special ones, right? That raise and do things, right? And influence in society and generate interesting debates. And today it\u2019s recognized at the Latin Grammys. We didn\u2019t expect it much. So, yes, like here processing the surprise, you know? How nice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tInterviewer:<\/strong> How would you say, now that we were talking, what was Rawayana\u2019s process?<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tI think Rawayana\u2019s process has been a \u2026 it\u2019s been a very, very, very beautiful and very worked-on process, right? And of short steps, right? And of resistance, a lot of resistance, right? It wasn\u2019t so much about speed. <\/p>\n \n\tToday I feel a little bit exposed, because there are many things that, from the beginning, were public, right? I haven\u2019t been an artist who curated a lot and released things carefully, but rather things came out, and everything we\u2019ve done was always exposed to a group of people that each time got bigger.\u00a0 So, yes, it\u2019s been a process quite transparent with respect to the public, you know? You can see all our mistakes and all the successes and everything \u2014 everything is on the web, right? <\/p>\n \n\tFrom the beginning until today, everything feels \u2026 I feel very solid in some way because we\u2019ve completed all the processes to get to where we are now, right? From the beginning, the slang, right? It\u2019s there. And then there\u2019s kind of been a tendency toward that for a while now, and circumstantially we were already there, like, very much communicating in that way.<\/p>\n
