In his words:
“I don’t know why you don’t listen to it as much in Colombia, but I love the Creole music of Peru, and the food is wonderful. I have not been able to adapt to this generalization of what Peruvians believe that we Colombians are. On television they are always looking for scandal, what sells, that has shocked me a bit. I have received uncomfortable comments. Here a Colombian stars in a scandal and people think that we are all the same or have bad behavior. I always say: ‘Don’t generalize. Prejudice is the worst disguise of ignorance.
“I love dancing salsa and to break the ice, because I was ‘the foreigner’ in my blind audition, I asked El Puma to dance”.
“I have interpreted ‘When Nobody Sees Me’, by Alejandro Sanz; that has been the best for me. Also ‘Frente a Frente’, by Pandora; ‘Fool’, by Miryam Hernández; ‘Manías’, by Thalía; ‘You’, by Noelia, among others.
“In the competition there are excellent voices, like those of Martín Tremolada and José Gaona, but I have concentrated on doing my own thing. I deserve to win because I have shown an evolution and I took on the challenges”, says this woman from Cali.
