1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,835
This program has footage
that is not suitable for minors.
2
00:00:02,919 --> 00:00:03,794
Viewer discretion is advised.
3
00:00:19,561 --> 00:00:21,812
My dream, since I was young,
4
00:00:21,896 --> 00:00:25,066
was to be onstage
and leave my mark on the whole world.
5
00:00:25,149 --> 00:00:27,067
I thought my future was going
to be in soccer,
6
00:00:27,152 --> 00:00:29,487
but I've loved music
since I was a little boy.
7
00:00:29,571 --> 00:00:31,740
This is my dream, to be here with you.
8
00:00:31,823 --> 00:00:35,410
But having to hide my pain
was very difficult.
9
00:00:35,493 --> 00:00:36,661
Maluma!
10
00:00:45,003 --> 00:00:46,503
I sacrificed everything.
11
00:00:48,088 --> 00:00:49,006
My friends.
12
00:00:51,091 --> 00:00:51,926
My family.
13
00:00:53,927 --> 00:00:55,637
Maluma is in the eye of the hurricane.
14
00:00:56,347 --> 00:00:59,850
He didn't need to go through
this type of scandal to be famous.
15
00:00:59,975 --> 00:01:04,230
It was the price I had to pay
to become who I am today.
16
00:01:09,819 --> 00:01:10,945
Ready, let's do it.
17
00:01:11,028 --> 00:01:12,863
Three, two, one, Maluma's interview.
18
00:01:13,114 --> 00:01:18,495
MALUMA
WHO I WAS, WHO I AM, WHO I WILL BE
19
00:01:30,632 --> 00:01:33,551
Everyone wants to be the center of attention,
20
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,433
but the normal person doesn't understand
how hard it is.
21
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:42,268
JUAN LUIS LONDOÑO
22
00:01:42,352 --> 00:01:44,228
I gave everything I had,
23
00:01:44,813 --> 00:01:48,066
body, soul, heart, to my music career.
24
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,319
I can't believe I came to Houston for...
How many hours?
25
00:01:51,403 --> 00:01:52,737
Six, seven.
26
00:01:52,820 --> 00:01:55,781
Being the sister of a public figure
is very complicated.
27
00:01:55,864 --> 00:01:56,824
MANUELA LONDOÑO ARIAS
SISTER OF MALUMA
28
00:01:56,908 --> 00:01:58,826
Because you lose your privacy.
29
00:01:58,909 --> 00:01:59,911
Roll it down a little bit.
30
00:02:00,578 --> 00:02:01,996
Maluma!
31
00:02:02,414 --> 00:02:03,498
You never see him.
32
00:02:03,581 --> 00:02:07,543
I wish I could spend more time with him
because I can't go with him.
33
00:02:11,715 --> 00:02:15,259
Lots of people think that
I had my career handed to me,
34
00:02:19,389 --> 00:02:21,349
that it happened overnight,
35
00:02:21,432 --> 00:02:24,019
but they don't know the story behind it all.
36
00:02:30,608 --> 00:02:31,651
Attention!
37
00:02:31,735 --> 00:02:35,280
Let's sing Happy Birthday to the boy.
38
00:02:35,362 --> 00:02:37,824
Boy? I'm a boy. Have some respect!
39
00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:44,247
Luis Alfonso and I loved children.
40
00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:45,290
MARLLI ARIAS
MOTHER OF MALUMA
41
00:02:45,372 --> 00:02:47,250
We always said we'd have three or four.
42
00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:49,127
I got pregnant with Manu,
43
00:02:49,210 --> 00:02:51,629
and her arrival was pure joy
44
00:02:51,712 --> 00:02:53,965
because she was the only granddaughter
for both families.
45
00:02:54,049 --> 00:02:55,508
We never planned the second one.
46
00:02:55,592 --> 00:02:56,551
LUIS ALFONSO LONDOÑO
FATHER OF MALUMA
47
00:02:56,633 --> 00:02:58,469
I was managing a company in Villavicencio.
48
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:01,431
We arrived in Medellín, and it happened.
49
00:03:01,514 --> 00:03:04,183
We have always been more than just siblings.
50
00:03:04,266 --> 00:03:05,435
We are friends.
51
00:03:05,518 --> 00:03:07,312
What I always tell people is
52
00:03:07,395 --> 00:03:09,689
that if you think he's beautiful
on the outside,
53
00:03:09,772 --> 00:03:12,942
that's nothing compared
to how he's on the inside.
54
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:15,987
My parents made me feel so loved,
from day one.
55
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:19,740
That was the most important value
they instilled in me
56
00:03:19,824 --> 00:03:23,703
Yudy, my sister, loves Juan Luis
as if he were her own son.
57
00:03:23,787 --> 00:03:26,414
From the day he was born,
Yudy has been devoted to him.
58
00:03:26,789 --> 00:03:27,748
YUDY ARIAS
AUNT OF MALUMA
59
00:03:27,831 --> 00:03:31,502
I was devoted to him, as an aunt, nanny,
a sister, everything,
60
00:03:31,586 --> 00:03:35,256
because I was too young to be an aunt,
but Juan Luis was my baby.
61
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:37,509
The world will never really understand
62
00:03:37,592 --> 00:03:40,553
because the connection
we have is on another level.
63
00:03:40,637 --> 00:03:42,305
We have a soul connection.
64
00:03:42,389 --> 00:03:44,015
She raised me too.
65
00:03:44,139 --> 00:03:46,141
That's why she's like a second mother to me.
66
00:03:51,230 --> 00:03:54,442
I always loved music,
since I was a little boy.
67
00:03:54,526 --> 00:03:58,862
My grandparents loved salsa,
especially my mother's father.
68
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:02,867
I've always loved music.
69
00:04:02,950 --> 00:04:04,159
PEDRO ARIAS
MATERNAL GRANDFATHER OF MALUMA
70
00:04:04,243 --> 00:04:05,870
Sonora, Billo's Caracas,
71
00:04:05,954 --> 00:04:08,790
tango, bolero, and he would start to dance.
72
00:04:08,872 --> 00:04:11,125
In my day, it was Los Cuyos, Los Panchos...
73
00:04:11,209 --> 00:04:12,210
JAIRO LONDOÑO
PATERNAL GRANDFATHER OF MALUMA
74
00:04:12,293 --> 00:04:13,545
Conjunto America.
75
00:04:13,627 --> 00:04:14,586
BERENICE ZAPATA
PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER OF MALUMA
76
00:04:14,670 --> 00:04:16,505
He paid attention to everything he heard.
77
00:04:16,588 --> 00:04:19,550
When he was two years old,
we were on a day trip with some friends.
78
00:04:19,634 --> 00:04:23,555
One said, "I have a professional drum set,
and I don't know what to do with it,"
79
00:04:23,637 --> 00:04:26,557
so they gave it to Juan Luis.
Drums to a two-year-old.
80
00:04:27,725 --> 00:04:30,644
You gotta teach me something
really cool to play live.
81
00:04:33,523 --> 00:04:35,859
He would play the drums
and just hit everything.
82
00:04:37,735 --> 00:04:40,612
Finally, we were all going crazy
listening to him,
83
00:04:40,697 --> 00:04:43,115
so Mom said, "Hey, no.
84
00:04:45,826 --> 00:04:47,786
"What is this? We can't have this.
85
00:04:47,870 --> 00:04:49,621
"Give it away. That's enough."
86
00:04:50,956 --> 00:04:52,791
He was always singing.
87
00:04:52,875 --> 00:04:54,918
He loved romantic music.
88
00:04:55,002 --> 00:04:57,671
He would say,
"I want to listen to Andrés Cepeda,"
89
00:04:57,755 --> 00:04:58,839
and he knew the songs,
90
00:04:58,923 --> 00:05:02,093
And he would perform them.
He didn't just sing the songs.
91
00:05:02,177 --> 00:05:06,389
No, he would do it with an attitude.
He'd sing with feeling.
92
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:10,185
I remember when we had visitors over,
the first thing he would do
93
00:05:10,267 --> 00:05:13,562
was go put on some boots and sing.
94
00:05:13,646 --> 00:05:16,316
Five years old, wearing a hat,
his sleeves rolled up,
95
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:18,985
singing a Vicente Fernández song. What?
96
00:05:19,069 --> 00:05:20,612
He would always say he was in the choir,
97
00:05:20,694 --> 00:05:23,656
and I was like, "What choir? You can't sing."
98
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:26,951
I would laugh and tell him he couldn't sing.
99
00:05:27,035 --> 00:05:29,829
He always learned songs so easily,
100
00:05:29,913 --> 00:05:32,624
but he was very focused on playing soccer.
101
00:05:40,005 --> 00:05:42,049
My first years playing soccer,
102
00:05:42,132 --> 00:05:45,762
I remember very well
because that was my dream.
103
00:05:45,845 --> 00:05:47,555
I wanted to be a soccer player.
104
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:50,432
That was his first experience
with responsibility,
105
00:05:50,516 --> 00:05:52,185
effort and sacrifice.
106
00:05:52,267 --> 00:05:56,313
I was with him for nine years
during that time.
107
00:05:56,398 --> 00:05:59,526
And he was really talented.
And he put in a lot of effort.
108
00:05:59,608 --> 00:06:00,818
...21, 22...
109
00:06:00,901 --> 00:06:04,822
His life had always been soccer, only soccer.
110
00:06:07,074 --> 00:06:07,908
Sorry, man.
111
00:06:07,992 --> 00:06:09,326
5TH CIPA-METRO CUP
10-YEAR-OLDS
112
00:06:09,411 --> 00:06:12,288
With us, he had the opportunity to play
in several tournaments.
113
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:13,581
CHALO MONTOYA
SOCCER COACH - ABC SCHOOL
114
00:06:13,665 --> 00:06:16,376
He was one of those players
who liked ball-handling a lot
115
00:06:16,459 --> 00:06:18,836
and was a good influence
on the other players.
116
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,758
That's why he was captain for some of
the more important games we played.
117
00:06:23,841 --> 00:06:25,259
He had leadership skills.
118
00:06:25,343 --> 00:06:28,638
Everyone who grew up in Colombia,
in Medellín, watched soccer.
119
00:06:28,721 --> 00:06:31,181
Some of our friends ended up being
professional players.
120
00:06:31,266 --> 00:06:32,891
That's where the inspiration comes from.
121
00:06:32,975 --> 00:06:35,060
I remember watching
the Colombian national team.
122
00:06:35,144 --> 00:06:38,605
I always wanted to be on the field like them.
123
00:06:38,689 --> 00:06:42,401
Hey, friends! We're here,
at Medellín's International Airport.
124
00:06:42,485 --> 00:06:46,489
We came to pick up one of my friends,
Juan Fer Quintero.
125
00:06:46,572 --> 00:06:48,365
He's representing Colombia.
126
00:06:50,367 --> 00:06:53,288
I met him a long time ago.
We were part of a group of friends.
127
00:06:53,370 --> 00:06:54,621
Check this out.
128
00:06:56,875 --> 00:06:58,584
He kicks with his left. He has power.
129
00:06:58,668 --> 00:06:59,627
JUAN FERNANDO QUINTERO
SOCCER PLAYER FOR COLOMBIA NATIONAL TEAM
130
00:06:59,711 --> 00:07:04,257
Lefties aren't common in soccer.
He's exceptional.
131
00:07:04,341 --> 00:07:06,884
We had an agreement with talented players.
132
00:07:06,968 --> 00:07:08,011
ALEJANDRO ARBOTEDA
SOCCER COACH - ALEXIS GARCIA SCHOOL
133
00:07:08,093 --> 00:07:10,971
We saw potential in him as a forward.
134
00:07:11,055 --> 00:07:12,848
2018 WORLD CUP
MOSCOW, RUSSIA
135
00:07:13,307 --> 00:07:16,144
Nobody called him Juan Luis. "Hey, Joaco!"
136
00:07:16,226 --> 00:07:18,771
And he slurred his words.
137
00:07:18,855 --> 00:07:21,191
Oh, man, look at my gangster face.
138
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:22,858
I look like a Russian spy.
139
00:07:22,942 --> 00:07:25,778
"Come on, man, pass the ball."
140
00:07:25,862 --> 00:07:27,364
I came to play soccer.
141
00:07:30,949 --> 00:07:32,034
That's it.
142
00:07:32,117 --> 00:07:34,161
I came to say hello to the guys.
143
00:07:34,245 --> 00:07:35,704
-What's up, man?
-All good.
144
00:07:35,788 --> 00:07:38,832
-Looks good on you.
-We both look good.
145
00:07:38,916 --> 00:07:41,043
He could have gone pro.
146
00:07:41,418 --> 00:07:42,586
Let's play some ball.
147
00:07:43,963 --> 00:07:46,966
With his skills, yeah, I think he could have.
148
00:07:49,886 --> 00:07:52,263
I really made a difference
when I played soccer,
149
00:07:52,346 --> 00:07:54,473
so I always thought that'd be my future.
150
00:07:54,557 --> 00:07:58,019
It complemented his education
and complemented his development.
151
00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:02,691
Soccer helped me develop responsibility,
152
00:08:02,774 --> 00:08:04,983
discipline, determination, perseverance,
153
00:08:05,067 --> 00:08:08,362
which have been key factors
in my music career.
154
00:08:08,779 --> 00:08:12,449
I always told him
he was going to fill stadiums,
155
00:08:12,951 --> 00:08:16,705
whether it was with soccer or music,
and here we are.
156
00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:28,841
Hello, Israel!
157
00:08:29,591 --> 00:08:31,301
I'm going to the hotel.
158
00:08:31,552 --> 00:08:34,096
HAYARKON PARK
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL
159
00:08:36,765 --> 00:08:40,019
Have a great show. I missed you guys.
160
00:08:41,855 --> 00:08:44,315
Thank you for believing in the music.
161
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:47,402
Let's make this unforgettable.
Love you. Let's do this.
162
00:11:33,735 --> 00:11:36,403
The whole chapter, when my parents divorced,
163
00:11:36,488 --> 00:11:39,240
even though I was really young,
I understood everything.
164
00:11:39,948 --> 00:11:42,659
It was very hard, very painful.
165
00:11:43,244 --> 00:11:45,955
I couldn't talk about it.
I said, "No, this isn't happening."
166
00:11:46,373 --> 00:11:48,792
Every divorce is difficult.
167
00:11:48,875 --> 00:11:50,793
It makes for very complicated times.
168
00:11:51,168 --> 00:11:54,004
Ours wasn't easy.
169
00:11:54,089 --> 00:11:56,007
It was complicated and difficult.
170
00:11:56,091 --> 00:11:57,801
It was hard because
171
00:11:57,884 --> 00:12:01,596
I'd spent 17 years watching them together,
172
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,348
so I just couldn't understand.
173
00:12:04,432 --> 00:12:08,687
Luis Alfonso, after we divorced,
moved to Bogotá.
174
00:12:08,769 --> 00:12:12,524
He had several job offers in Bogotá,
and things were not good in Medellín,
175
00:12:12,606 --> 00:12:15,526
so he left to go find that help.
176
00:12:15,610 --> 00:12:17,736
Thank God, I stayed with them.
177
00:12:17,821 --> 00:12:20,657
I tried to move on, but it wasn't easy.
178
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:22,783
I'd been abandoned. It was hard.
179
00:12:22,866 --> 00:12:26,078
As the only man in the house,
as a ten-year-old,
180
00:12:26,162 --> 00:12:29,331
I had to comfort my mom and my sister.
181
00:12:29,416 --> 00:12:31,960
Juan Luis was really close to his dad.
182
00:12:32,043 --> 00:12:33,378
He'd go out to the garage.
183
00:12:33,461 --> 00:12:35,254
The superintendent called me and said,
184
00:12:35,337 --> 00:12:39,717
"Ma'am, Juan Luis is in the garage."
He was half asleep.
185
00:12:39,801 --> 00:12:43,430
We found him there, crying,
waiting for his dad to come.
186
00:12:43,888 --> 00:12:45,807
I don't remember what I told him.
187
00:12:47,182 --> 00:12:49,769
We made a decision,
and there was nothing to do about it.
188
00:12:54,441 --> 00:12:56,276
Damn, it still hurts.
189
00:12:58,653 --> 00:13:00,154
It was a chaotic time.
190
00:13:00,238 --> 00:13:03,199
The family was in a kind of fog.
191
00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:06,619
We couldn't see clearly.
We didn't know what was going to happen.
192
00:13:07,162 --> 00:13:09,622
I thought it was the best thing to happen.
193
00:13:09,706 --> 00:13:13,625
I split up with my partner, not my kids.
194
00:13:14,085 --> 00:13:15,628
No, never.
195
00:13:15,711 --> 00:13:19,048
Our financial situation hit rock bottom.
196
00:13:19,131 --> 00:13:21,008
I had never worked before.
197
00:13:21,091 --> 00:13:24,178
Luis Alfonso always had very good jobs,
198
00:13:24,261 --> 00:13:27,306
but he ended up in a very bad situation.
199
00:13:27,389 --> 00:13:29,641
I was the leader of the team.
200
00:13:29,725 --> 00:13:35,606
Those are critical times.
Times you never imagined would happen.
201
00:13:35,690 --> 00:13:37,359
That's when you ask yourself,
202
00:13:37,442 --> 00:13:39,778
who am I? What am I made of?
203
00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:44,407
Even if I was really young, I knew
we had to find a way to move on.
204
00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:47,284
We couldn't just sink
because of a family problem.
205
00:13:47,369 --> 00:13:50,205
That's when I told her
206
00:13:50,288 --> 00:13:53,500
to give me the little money she had,
207
00:13:53,582 --> 00:13:57,211
so I could...
208
00:13:58,712 --> 00:14:01,548
make some sandwiches, and I...
209
00:14:02,549 --> 00:14:05,010
So I could sell them at school.
210
00:14:09,599 --> 00:14:11,225
Juan Luis helped me.
211
00:14:11,308 --> 00:14:14,187
He would go to El Hueco to buy bags of candy.
212
00:14:19,775 --> 00:14:23,904
And he would give me the money he made.
213
00:14:24,614 --> 00:14:29,244
He'd say, "Mom, this is for milk,
or whatever you need for tomorrow."
214
00:14:32,288 --> 00:14:36,250
We bought the cheapest bread, ham and cheese.
215
00:14:36,333 --> 00:14:39,378
And I went to school
with people who had money.
216
00:14:39,461 --> 00:14:43,258
And there I was with my backpack
full of sandwiches to sell at school.
217
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:48,096
And when I got home with the money,
I'd give it to my mom,
218
00:14:48,178 --> 00:14:52,307
so she could go to the market
and get food for us.
219
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:56,855
Juancho would give it to me and say,
"This is to make more sandwiches,
220
00:14:56,937 --> 00:15:00,232
"and use the rest for whatever you need.
I don't need any of it."
221
00:15:00,316 --> 00:15:03,778
That was a big help
from such a little person.
222
00:15:03,861 --> 00:15:06,780
He was giving me money
for breakfast or lunch.
223
00:15:06,865 --> 00:15:09,951
I got some candy and chocolate.
224
00:15:10,034 --> 00:15:13,913
They came in bags
that cost a dollar or two,
225
00:15:13,996 --> 00:15:16,373
but I sold each one for a dollar.
226
00:15:16,457 --> 00:15:19,084
So I'd make 35 dollars,
227
00:15:19,168 --> 00:15:23,255
when I'd only spent one or two dollars
for the whole bag.
228
00:15:24,131 --> 00:15:27,051
When he talks about that,
he does it with pride.
229
00:15:27,134 --> 00:15:28,302
And I applaud him.
230
00:15:28,385 --> 00:15:31,555
Because he saw that it was
a difficult time for his family,
231
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:33,265
for his dad,
232
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:36,936
and it motivated him to sell that candy.
233
00:15:37,019 --> 00:15:38,437
Businessman.
234
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,985
That's how I started being an entrepreneur
at such an early age
235
00:15:44,068 --> 00:15:45,903
in my life.
236
00:15:45,986 --> 00:15:47,654
And, again,
237
00:15:47,739 --> 00:15:51,326
every time in my life has been beautiful.
238
00:15:52,701 --> 00:15:54,788
With some pain on occasion,
239
00:15:55,413 --> 00:15:59,209
but those times only made my family stronger.
240
00:15:59,292 --> 00:16:01,961
Obviously, I love my mom and my sister,
241
00:16:02,044 --> 00:16:08,175
and I'd do anything for them. Always.
242
00:16:08,259 --> 00:16:09,427
Like I do today.
243
00:16:09,510 --> 00:16:10,803
AMERICAN AIRLINES ARENA
MIAMI, FLORIDA
244
00:16:10,886 --> 00:16:12,888
Turn on the flash.
Everyone get your cellphones out!
245
00:16:13,347 --> 00:16:14,890
Your phone, come on!
246
00:17:43,188 --> 00:17:44,189
Come on!
247
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:15,845
Thank you, Tel Aviv. Thank you, Israel.
248
00:18:18,847 --> 00:18:21,350
I'm so happy to be back and sing for you.
249
00:18:21,768 --> 00:18:23,978
Everybody with your phones in the air.
Come on!
250
00:18:51,798 --> 00:18:54,217
The story of why I'm called Maluma.
251
00:18:55,926 --> 00:18:59,972
My parents told me about
a dog they had called Malu,
252
00:19:00,056 --> 00:19:03,143
which is the initials of
my mom and my dad's names.
253
00:19:03,226 --> 00:19:06,604
I've always remembered that story
since I was a little boy.
254
00:19:06,688 --> 00:19:08,273
Juan Luis didn't have any tattoos,
255
00:19:08,355 --> 00:19:11,276
and he was dying to get one,
256
00:19:11,817 --> 00:19:14,403
but my parents weren't going
to give him permission.
257
00:19:14,487 --> 00:19:19,492
The only way my family wouldn't complain was
258
00:19:19,576 --> 00:19:23,621
if it was a tribute to my family.
259
00:19:23,704 --> 00:19:26,915
"The initials 'Ma' from Marlli,
260
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,086
"'Lu,' Luis, my dad, and 'Ma,' you, Manuela,
261
00:19:30,170 --> 00:19:32,714
"beautiful. How can they get mad?"
262
00:19:32,797 --> 00:19:36,134
Three years ago, I got a tattoo.
263
00:19:36,217 --> 00:19:37,384
MALUMA
264
00:19:39,471 --> 00:19:42,891
When I started getting to know salsa
and where it came from,
265
00:19:43,557 --> 00:19:44,768
Puerto Rico...
266
00:19:44,851 --> 00:19:47,479
When he was older,
I started going to the gym with him.
267
00:19:47,561 --> 00:19:48,937
I would pick him up,
268
00:19:49,021 --> 00:19:51,398
and we would always play reggaeton
really loud in the car,
269
00:19:51,482 --> 00:19:53,525
and he knew every song.
270
00:19:55,194 --> 00:19:58,280
Later, I went to a reggaeton concert.
271
00:19:59,574 --> 00:20:04,120
Don Omar, Ivy Queen, Wisin & Yandel,
and Tégo Calderón were playing, among others.
272
00:20:06,873 --> 00:20:11,044
When I got there, I saw that stage,
and I went crazy.
273
00:20:12,921 --> 00:20:15,048
I went crazy. I knew all the songs.
274
00:20:17,008 --> 00:20:19,760
And when I saw all those artists onstage,
275
00:20:19,844 --> 00:20:22,346
I realized that's what I wanted to do.
276
00:20:23,056 --> 00:20:25,892
That it was in my blood,
and I wanted to do it.
277
00:20:25,974 --> 00:20:28,519
I wanted to be on that stage with them.
278
00:20:29,688 --> 00:20:32,315
When he started singing,
279
00:20:32,398 --> 00:20:35,192
I think it was partly
because of my influence.
280
00:20:35,777 --> 00:20:38,822
Not partly, it was my influence.
281
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:42,491
The relationship I have
with my aunt is inexplicable.
282
00:20:42,575 --> 00:20:45,995
She is like my best friend,
my sister, my second mom.
283
00:20:46,078 --> 00:20:47,663
My aunt is everything to me.
284
00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:49,791
They say they're soul mates.
285
00:20:50,208 --> 00:20:53,086
Your soul mate isn't
your boyfriend or your wife.
286
00:20:53,169 --> 00:20:54,546
I believe in karma.
287
00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:58,757
It says that one person will come back
looking for the other one
288
00:20:58,842 --> 00:21:02,721
because they need to live
close to each other again
289
00:21:02,804 --> 00:21:05,181
to do great things.
290
00:21:05,265 --> 00:21:07,851
A friend of mine who I went to school with,
291
00:21:07,933 --> 00:21:11,645
Arias, I told him I liked to sing
292
00:21:11,730 --> 00:21:13,314
and write songs.
293
00:21:13,731 --> 00:21:18,193
He said, "Really? I've written songs.
I've been to the studio."
294
00:21:18,278 --> 00:21:20,488
I've always worked in television,
295
00:21:21,030 --> 00:21:23,032
and I had friends who were singers,
296
00:21:23,115 --> 00:21:25,367
so I think he saw that.
297
00:21:25,951 --> 00:21:27,828
Arias showed me his music.
298
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:30,498
He told me about the producers
he'd worked with.
299
00:21:30,582 --> 00:21:32,959
I didn't believe it.
300
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:36,296
I was so close, it could actually happen.
301
00:21:36,378 --> 00:21:38,173
I called my aunt Yudy.
302
00:21:38,256 --> 00:21:41,301
He said, "Aunt, it's almost my birthday."
303
00:21:41,384 --> 00:21:44,054
"I've written some songs,
but I don't know any producers.
304
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:46,472
"Maybe you can help me out."
305
00:21:46,597 --> 00:21:50,351
At that time, my family was having
serious financial issues.
306
00:21:50,434 --> 00:21:55,606
We didn't even have money for decent food,
much less for a song.
307
00:21:55,690 --> 00:21:59,361
"For my birthday, I want to record a song."
308
00:21:59,443 --> 00:22:03,655
And I told him, "Okay, let's do it today."
309
00:22:03,740 --> 00:22:05,616
I've always been like that with him.
310
00:22:06,367 --> 00:22:08,535
I called a producer, "Hey, how are you?"
311
00:22:08,619 --> 00:22:10,287
"Hey, girl, how are you?"
312
00:22:10,372 --> 00:22:12,664
"Look, I have a very talented nephew."
313
00:22:12,749 --> 00:22:17,045
I gave him wings.
"You can do this, you're talented."
314
00:22:17,127 --> 00:22:18,462
Yudy was always in the middle.
315
00:22:18,546 --> 00:22:19,963
BRYAN LEZCANO / CHAN EL GENIO
THE RUDE BOYZ - MUSIC PRODUCER
316
00:22:20,048 --> 00:22:21,924
She contacted us through Reykon's manager.
317
00:22:22,008 --> 00:22:23,384
"Hey, man, what's up?
318
00:22:23,468 --> 00:22:26,721
"I wanted to know how I could
work with you, and all that."
319
00:22:26,805 --> 00:22:28,472
We had great chemistry.
320
00:22:28,556 --> 00:22:29,766
It's funny.
321
00:22:29,848 --> 00:22:31,934
I called Arias, from school,
322
00:22:32,018 --> 00:22:34,187
and I told him my aunt was helping me
with the song,
323
00:22:34,311 --> 00:22:37,272
that I wanted to do a duet, Maluma and Arias.
324
00:22:39,817 --> 00:22:42,862
When I told him to meet me at the studio,
I don't know,
325
00:22:42,945 --> 00:22:45,197
I think we were supposed to record at 5:00.
326
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,409
He was late, like, 30 minutes late,
327
00:22:48,492 --> 00:22:50,494
so I decided to record the song alone.
328
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:58,877
I knew if I didn't make that call then,
329
00:22:58,961 --> 00:23:01,047
it'd be more complicated in the future,
330
00:23:01,131 --> 00:23:03,048
after launching my career with him.
331
00:23:03,383 --> 00:23:06,219
At that time, Kevin and I weren't
the Rude Boyz.
332
00:23:06,301 --> 00:23:10,389
He had his work, and I had mine,
and we'd do a couple of things together.
333
00:23:10,472 --> 00:23:13,475
I spent two weeks before going to the studio,
thinking about the name
334
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:16,061
because J Balvin's name is José Álvaro.
335
00:23:16,145 --> 00:23:17,605
Reykon's name is Andrés.
336
00:23:17,689 --> 00:23:21,359
I couldn't be Juan Luis,
Juan Luis is an artist from the '80s or '90s.
337
00:23:21,442 --> 00:23:23,737
No one would follow me or believe me.
338
00:23:24,237 --> 00:23:26,573
I already had the Maluma tattoo.
339
00:23:26,655 --> 00:23:30,409
People at the studio would
call me Malu, Maluma.
340
00:23:30,492 --> 00:23:31,577
That's it.
341
00:23:31,661 --> 00:23:32,953
I'm Maluma.
342
00:23:33,038 --> 00:23:35,498
I was baptized.
343
00:23:35,623 --> 00:23:36,665
Maluma, baby.
344
00:23:46,675 --> 00:23:49,220
We were at the studio
with Juan Luis every day, creating.
345
00:23:49,304 --> 00:23:52,140
I think it was a good start for all of us.
346
00:23:52,222 --> 00:23:54,099
The next day, I go to school,
347
00:23:54,183 --> 00:23:56,478
and I play the song for my friends.
348
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,521
I remember he had the CD,
and we played it in the car.
349
00:23:59,605 --> 00:24:00,773
CHRISTIAN VALLEJO
FRIEND OF MALUMA
350
00:24:00,856 --> 00:24:03,777
I think that was the day we realized
it was all very real.
351
00:24:03,859 --> 00:24:06,236
I think it was a hard decision for him...
352
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,279
ANA VILLEGAS
FRIEND OF MALUMA
353
00:24:07,364 --> 00:24:11,910
...choosing between soccer and music.
354
00:24:13,327 --> 00:24:16,455
You know, I've always been
a very decisive person.
355
00:24:16,538 --> 00:24:19,709
It's black or white, soccer or music,
I can't do both.
356
00:24:19,792 --> 00:24:24,296
I knew I couldn't split my energy
between so many things.
357
00:24:25,006 --> 00:24:27,884
So, in 2010, he says,
358
00:24:27,967 --> 00:24:30,512
"Coach, I need to talk to you."
359
00:24:30,595 --> 00:24:32,681
"What's going on?"
360
00:24:33,682 --> 00:24:36,726
"Coach, I want a career in music."
361
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:39,520
The music thing was a surprise for everyone.
362
00:24:39,604 --> 00:24:40,771
-'Cause...
-Yeah.
363
00:24:40,855 --> 00:24:43,607
We thought he was gonna be
a soccer player for Colombia.
364
00:24:43,692 --> 00:24:45,484
I finished soccer practice,
365
00:24:45,567 --> 00:24:48,113
and my dad comes to pick me up.
366
00:24:48,195 --> 00:24:50,948
I look at him in the eye and say,
367
00:24:51,031 --> 00:24:53,659
"Dad, I don't want to play soccer anymore."
368
00:24:54,035 --> 00:24:55,995
That was a shock to me.
369
00:24:56,078 --> 00:24:58,038
I can't even explain it.
370
00:24:58,123 --> 00:25:00,709
I thought soccer
371
00:25:00,791 --> 00:25:04,628
helped me, as a father,
with my personal growth.
372
00:25:04,712 --> 00:25:08,090
"How can you tell me you don't want
to play soccer, just like that?
373
00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:12,220
"This is your life.
This is what you've done your whole life."
374
00:25:12,303 --> 00:25:14,597
But that wasn't the only shocker.
375
00:25:15,056 --> 00:25:16,432
I looked at him and said,
376
00:25:16,516 --> 00:25:18,685
"I want to be an urban musician.
I want to sing reggaeton."
377
00:25:18,768 --> 00:25:20,603
I stopped the car, almost crashed.
378
00:25:20,686 --> 00:25:22,813
I parked and took a deep breath.
379
00:25:24,065 --> 00:25:26,442
My dad almost had a heart attack.
380
00:25:26,526 --> 00:25:28,153
Who likes reggaeton?
381
00:25:28,236 --> 00:25:31,948
Everyone was laughing so hard,
the biggest laugh ever.
382
00:25:32,031 --> 00:25:35,451
"What music are you talking about?
You slur when you talk."
383
00:25:35,535 --> 00:25:37,579
We congratulated him,
384
00:25:37,662 --> 00:25:40,373
but the whole school was
kind of laughing at him.
385
00:25:40,457 --> 00:25:42,709
They called him Maluca instead of Maluma.
386
00:25:42,791 --> 00:25:46,253
They said things like,
"He's crazy, he won't get anywhere.
387
00:25:46,337 --> 00:25:48,380
"That video, that crazy song."
388
00:25:48,464 --> 00:25:50,632
Really negative comments.
389
00:25:50,717 --> 00:25:53,094
Well, from people not very close to him.
390
00:25:53,178 --> 00:25:57,015
"Thank you." He said that phrase,
which I think is the best payment
391
00:25:57,097 --> 00:25:59,893
you can receive as a coach and teacher.
392
00:25:59,976 --> 00:26:03,438
He told me, "Coach, I'm thankful
for the discipline you taught me.
393
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:08,942
"I know it will serve me well for everything
I'm about to embark on."
394
00:26:09,027 --> 00:26:10,737
And then he started on his career.
395
00:26:10,819 --> 00:26:12,071
"You know what, Dad?
396
00:26:12,154 --> 00:26:17,576
"The education I got at home, from family,
and the discipline I've learned from soccer
397
00:26:17,660 --> 00:26:20,038
"will be enough for me to be successful.
398
00:26:20,121 --> 00:26:21,790
"Support me, and let's do this."
399
00:26:21,873 --> 00:26:25,794
So, from my aunt's gift,
and her husband, Juan Parra,
400
00:26:25,876 --> 00:26:27,336
this dream started.
401
00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:30,965
The foundation was built
for this whole music project.
402
00:26:31,048 --> 00:26:35,970
COLISEO GENERAL RUMINAHUI
QUITO, ECUADOR
403
00:28:53,650 --> 00:28:56,444
I started doing music.
I did two songs in the studio.
404
00:28:56,528 --> 00:28:58,278
And that's how this dream started.
405
00:28:58,363 --> 00:29:01,574
I started a journey
with my aunt and Juan Parra.
406
00:29:01,657 --> 00:29:03,575
Juan Parra was my first manager.
407
00:29:03,660 --> 00:29:07,997
Yudy Arias, Juan Carlos Parra, her husband,
408
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,709
they were the engine that got
this life project going.
409
00:29:11,792 --> 00:29:13,335
We should always appreciate that.
410
00:29:13,420 --> 00:29:16,548
We didn't know anything about this industry.
411
00:29:16,631 --> 00:29:18,717
We did it out of love.
412
00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:22,177
And my husband, Juan Parra,
besides his love for him,
413
00:29:22,261 --> 00:29:24,931
he knew what could happen
in a year with Maluma.
414
00:29:25,015 --> 00:29:26,975
Juan was always a visionary.
415
00:29:27,057 --> 00:29:31,438
Thanks to him, we had structure
in our company since the beginning.
416
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,732
My husband always insisted he do his lessons.
417
00:29:34,816 --> 00:29:38,737
"Juan Luis, did you go to dance class?
Juan Luis, did you practice your vocals?"
418
00:29:38,819 --> 00:29:41,489
And Juan Luis is a perfectionist.
419
00:29:42,115 --> 00:29:44,241
It was the three of us against the world.
420
00:29:44,325 --> 00:29:46,369
None of us had studied music.
421
00:29:46,452 --> 00:29:48,913
We didn't know anything about management.
422
00:29:48,997 --> 00:29:52,042
I was a young artist, I was 16.
423
00:29:52,125 --> 00:29:56,128
Life, the media,
everything showed us what to do.
424
00:29:56,211 --> 00:29:58,882
We realized we needed a DJ,
425
00:29:58,964 --> 00:30:01,259
we needed dancers,
426
00:30:01,343 --> 00:30:05,930
so we started to build a team,
but that was expensive.
427
00:30:06,013 --> 00:30:08,974
They asked if I could replace
the previous DJ.
428
00:30:09,058 --> 00:30:10,143
DANIEL VELÁSQUEZ / DJ RABIAZ
MALUMA'S FORMER DJ
429
00:30:10,226 --> 00:30:12,228
I took a chance and said yes.
430
00:30:12,311 --> 00:30:16,106
He was so young and so disciplined,
431
00:30:16,191 --> 00:30:18,692
that's how I knew he had a future.
432
00:30:18,777 --> 00:30:21,153
Who taught me how to do a show?
433
00:30:21,237 --> 00:30:22,364
No one.
434
00:30:31,373 --> 00:30:35,794
It was all work, experience, life lessons.
435
00:30:35,876 --> 00:30:38,504
It was just me,
watching myself in the mirror,
436
00:30:38,587 --> 00:30:41,340
making mistakes,
and doing a ton of shows.
437
00:30:41,465 --> 00:30:47,763
In 2010, I did between 250 and 300 shows
in schools in Medellín.
438
00:30:49,432 --> 00:30:52,059
At that time, no one believed in me.
439
00:30:52,143 --> 00:30:56,398
I went to radio stations
and they treated me like, "Oh, another one."
440
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,608
I got up at 7:00 a.m. 'cause we had
an interview at a radio station.
441
00:30:59,692 --> 00:31:02,153
Went there, knocked on the door,
and no one answered.
442
00:31:02,237 --> 00:31:03,988
Sometimes he would get sad.
443
00:31:04,071 --> 00:31:07,408
"I can't do this,
and look at what my friends get to do."
444
00:31:07,491 --> 00:31:08,701
For example,
445
00:31:08,785 --> 00:31:12,288
instead of going to his
end of the year field trip,
446
00:31:12,372 --> 00:31:14,958
he would go sing for other schools
on their trips
447
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,919
The microphone wasn't working, the sound
wasn't working, they only had a megaphone.
448
00:31:19,003 --> 00:31:20,921
No track, no sound, nothing.
449
00:31:21,006 --> 00:31:24,801
There I was, singing with a megaphone,
and all the kids looked at me like,
450
00:31:25,384 --> 00:31:27,345
"Who is this idiot?
451
00:31:28,471 --> 00:31:29,431
"Get him off."
452
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,395
Creating an artist, in this case, Maluma,
is very hard work.
453
00:31:35,478 --> 00:31:38,064
In 2010, I got a call from Juan Parra.
454
00:31:38,147 --> 00:31:39,064
DJ HZ
DIRECTOR AT MIX 89.9 FM
455
00:31:39,148 --> 00:31:41,900
He said he had a nephew
who wanted to sing reggaeton.
456
00:31:41,984 --> 00:31:44,903
I said, "Okay, we'll invite your artist."
457
00:31:44,988 --> 00:31:46,990
I met him, he presented his song.
458
00:31:47,073 --> 00:31:50,535
Some DJs didn't like it, some did.
I loved it.
459
00:31:50,617 --> 00:31:54,580
The idea was to play the song Farandulera
460
00:31:54,663 --> 00:31:56,624
so that kids in schools
would start to recognize it.
461
00:31:56,708 --> 00:31:59,210
We went to all the neighborhoods in our city,
462
00:31:59,294 --> 00:32:00,879
to all the schools.
463
00:32:00,961 --> 00:32:03,088
They would pick me up at school at 2:00
464
00:32:03,173 --> 00:32:05,008
and I'd go to other schools to sing.
465
00:32:05,090 --> 00:32:07,217
Everything was free.
We were promoting ourselves.
466
00:32:07,301 --> 00:32:09,094
He needed to make himself known.
467
00:32:09,179 --> 00:32:12,182
It was the day to day,
I learned by making mistakes.
468
00:32:12,265 --> 00:32:16,061
Whether there were one or two girls,
or nobody,
469
00:32:16,144 --> 00:32:19,230
it didn't matter.
That was the way to promote him.
470
00:32:19,314 --> 00:32:23,860
The first show I was paid to do was
a 15th birthday party in Neiva.
471
00:32:28,906 --> 00:32:31,742
The girls were dying to see him.
472
00:32:31,826 --> 00:32:34,913
Having him at your 15th birthday party
was the dream for those girls.
473
00:32:34,996 --> 00:32:38,500
Eventually we were doing
two birthday parties a night
474
00:32:38,791 --> 00:32:40,668
almost every weekend.
475
00:32:40,751 --> 00:32:43,754
They were crazy about him.
476
00:32:43,837 --> 00:32:46,548
One, two, three, four!
477
00:32:46,633 --> 00:32:51,136
The drunk dad didn't want Maluma to get
too close to his daughter.
478
00:32:51,221 --> 00:32:53,765
...13, 14, 15!
479
00:32:58,185 --> 00:33:00,730
Did I realize the effect I had on women?
480
00:33:00,814 --> 00:33:03,108
Where are all the single ladies?
481
00:33:03,191 --> 00:33:06,236
Of course, when I went to a school
and they knew Farandulera,
482
00:33:06,318 --> 00:33:09,697
and now they saw who was behind the music,
it made it clear.
483
00:33:09,780 --> 00:33:12,741
Papacito! Papacito!
484
00:33:12,826 --> 00:33:15,412
It was something I had always dreamed about.
485
00:33:15,869 --> 00:33:20,375
I'd be lying if I said I didn't like
all the girls throwing themselves at me.
486
00:33:21,041 --> 00:33:23,627
But, yeah, there was always a connection.
487
00:33:27,673 --> 00:33:28,590
Another one.
488
00:33:36,849 --> 00:33:39,059
Often when I was told no,
489
00:33:39,853 --> 00:33:42,188
I considered taking the easy way out.
490
00:33:42,271 --> 00:33:44,523
That is to say, keep playing soccer
491
00:33:44,606 --> 00:33:46,526
or going to college.
492
00:33:46,942 --> 00:33:49,653
But when I would think like that,
I would take it back,
493
00:33:49,738 --> 00:33:52,115
'cause this had to happen in my life.
494
00:33:52,198 --> 00:33:53,908
It's something I needed.
495
00:33:53,991 --> 00:33:58,288
I have to have those moments of frustration,
those moments of anger
496
00:33:58,371 --> 00:34:01,374
to grow, and I won't let it affect me.
497
00:34:01,458 --> 00:34:02,667
I have to go forward.
498
00:34:04,836 --> 00:34:06,337
Thank you!
499
00:34:12,510 --> 00:34:16,306
My husband and I were always like
his grounding influence.
500
00:34:16,389 --> 00:34:19,351
We worked together
towards a positive purpose.
501
00:34:19,434 --> 00:34:21,561
We didn't know what that was yet,
but it would come.
502
00:34:28,150 --> 00:34:30,694
And we needed him to grow.
503
00:34:30,778 --> 00:34:33,280
We needed Maluma to fly, to be great.
504
00:34:38,911 --> 00:34:42,039
After the song Farandulera,
505
00:34:42,123 --> 00:34:44,751
I organized a concert in Bello, Antioquia.
506
00:34:44,833 --> 00:34:47,795
I had Nicky Jam, who was new to town,
507
00:34:47,878 --> 00:34:49,172
and I invited Maluma.
508
00:34:49,255 --> 00:34:50,923
When I was little,
509
00:34:51,590 --> 00:34:53,592
I listened to lots of artists,
510
00:34:54,177 --> 00:34:57,180
and today I have the privilege
to share a stage with them.
511
00:34:57,262 --> 00:35:01,433
And one of the first ones
I listened to was this man.
512
00:35:01,518 --> 00:35:03,603
Please, welcome Nicky Jam!
513
00:35:07,190 --> 00:35:09,818
I was always a fan of those
old-school artists,
514
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:13,904
so when I got the chance
to share a stage with them
515
00:35:13,987 --> 00:35:16,448
when I was just starting out,
516
00:35:16,532 --> 00:35:17,866
that was a lot of pressure.
517
00:35:17,951 --> 00:35:20,452
Plus, I didn't know there were
going to be pyrotechnics
518
00:35:21,204 --> 00:35:23,581
"What was that?"
Then other side, bam!
519
00:35:23,664 --> 00:35:26,041
I got scared. I reacted.
520
00:35:26,126 --> 00:35:29,170
I didn't know if the dancers would move
or if I'd bump into them.
521
00:35:29,253 --> 00:35:31,922
I had an earpiece, so I could listen,
522
00:35:32,007 --> 00:35:35,217
but I didn't know how it worked,
so I took it out during the concerts.
523
00:35:39,681 --> 00:35:42,599
Some of the artists
would look at him weirdly,
524
00:35:42,684 --> 00:35:46,312
like, "Who is this kid?
Hey, H, who's this kid?"
525
00:35:46,396 --> 00:35:47,856
Hey, baby.
526
00:35:48,690 --> 00:35:50,983
You didn't understand the song either, huh?
527
00:35:53,027 --> 00:35:55,571
Baby, it's simple.
528
00:36:00,201 --> 00:36:03,246
Being the youngest, he made an impression.
529
00:36:03,329 --> 00:36:07,083
We needed a teen
who could sing to teen girls.
530
00:36:07,166 --> 00:36:09,960
Since he was their age,
they could identify with him.
531
00:36:10,461 --> 00:36:12,172
I'm 16 years old.
532
00:36:12,255 --> 00:36:13,840
He arrived at the perfect moment.
533
00:36:14,132 --> 00:36:17,177
It's amazing the way you've welcomed me.
534
00:36:17,260 --> 00:36:19,512
I never questioned his voice.
535
00:36:19,596 --> 00:36:20,637
You know why?
536
00:36:20,722 --> 00:36:23,641
Because Juan Luis is pure attitude.
537
00:36:23,724 --> 00:36:25,809
Nice to meet you, princess. I'm Juan Luis.
538
00:36:25,893 --> 00:36:29,605
Juan Luis has something
that makes you want to touch him.
539
00:36:29,688 --> 00:36:31,607
And everything else you can manage.
540
00:36:31,690 --> 00:36:33,359
Then, he launched Obsesión...
541
00:36:33,443 --> 00:36:34,402
NICK ALEJANDRO
BACKUP SINGER OF MALUMA
542
00:36:34,485 --> 00:36:38,447
...the song that I think made him popular
on a national level.
543
00:36:40,157 --> 00:36:42,743
The girls are going crazy over Maluma!
544
00:36:45,454 --> 00:36:48,290
First promotional tour, day two.
545
00:36:48,375 --> 00:36:51,503
It's my first time here, my first interview.
546
00:36:51,585 --> 00:36:53,962
Good things are coming.
This is only the beginning.
547
00:36:56,215 --> 00:36:58,300
Whatever it takes to be successful.
548
00:36:58,385 --> 00:37:00,929
I'm happy. This is my time to get to work.
549
00:37:03,139 --> 00:37:07,477
Papá Parra decided to get two racks of ribs.
No big deal.
550
00:37:08,811 --> 00:37:11,980
One day, in Bogotá, I was in a café,
551
00:37:12,065 --> 00:37:14,192
and suddenly, on the radio...
552
00:37:14,733 --> 00:37:15,610
Maluma?
553
00:37:15,693 --> 00:37:19,114
The little giant Maluma's new single.
554
00:37:19,197 --> 00:37:21,490
I started crying right there.
555
00:37:21,907 --> 00:37:23,742
I was literally crying.
556
00:37:23,827 --> 00:37:28,164
"How can this be? That's my son!
That man is my son!"
557
00:37:29,081 --> 00:37:32,793
After Maluma became well-known in Colombia,
558
00:37:33,043 --> 00:37:35,337
I'm talking about myself in the third person,
how stupid.
559
00:37:35,422 --> 00:37:37,465
When I became well-known in Colombia,
560
00:37:37,548 --> 00:37:39,884
we started with the whole touring process.
561
00:37:39,967 --> 00:37:42,094
But we toured in a frugal way.
562
00:37:42,177 --> 00:37:44,638
What's up, fam? Working 24/7.
563
00:37:44,722 --> 00:37:47,683
Today's my mom's birthday,
and I'm here, working.
564
00:37:47,766 --> 00:37:49,309
She's waiting for me back home.
565
00:37:49,393 --> 00:37:53,605
Doesn't matter, 'cause this is
the most hard-working group in the world.
566
00:37:53,731 --> 00:37:54,940
We never stop.
567
00:37:55,025 --> 00:37:59,320
People think all artists start
on a private jet.
568
00:37:59,403 --> 00:38:00,280
No.
569
00:38:00,362 --> 00:38:02,906
Back then, my shows weren't very profitable.
570
00:38:03,532 --> 00:38:05,076
We were a group, we had to travel,
571
00:38:05,159 --> 00:38:07,453
we had to pay the DJ, the manager,
572
00:38:07,536 --> 00:38:09,913
everyone who toured with me back then.
573
00:38:09,998 --> 00:38:14,461
So, the plan to save money was get there,
do a good show, and go home.
574
00:38:14,543 --> 00:38:17,422
We all shared a room.
575
00:38:17,505 --> 00:38:18,923
We were like a family.
576
00:38:19,007 --> 00:38:22,385
Three months in a van
across the whole country.
577
00:38:22,469 --> 00:38:23,845
I dare you
578
00:38:24,971 --> 00:38:28,599
to eat a piece of gum bigger than this.
579
00:38:29,516 --> 00:38:31,018
No!
580
00:38:31,936 --> 00:38:35,648
We were like Siamese twins, never apart.
581
00:38:35,731 --> 00:38:38,400
In airports, on planes.
582
00:38:38,485 --> 00:38:41,028
Of course, on planes, we were like this.
583
00:38:41,987 --> 00:38:45,866
But those were the kind of things
that happened during those adventures.
584
00:38:48,702 --> 00:38:52,248
He gave me this gift for my 20th.
585
00:38:52,331 --> 00:38:55,125
All the guys are here for Muñeco's birthday.
586
00:38:55,210 --> 00:39:00,215
Rat, Grumpy, Dog Washer, and Marc Anthony.
587
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,552
MSG LIVE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
NEW YORK, NY
588
00:39:45,635 --> 00:39:47,262
What's up, Miami?
589
00:39:47,344 --> 00:39:48,887
Three, two...
590
00:40:07,614 --> 00:40:09,158
All right, baby, come on!
591
00:41:00,460 --> 00:41:02,420
Miami, put your hands in the air!
592
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:40,875
I need something heavier, man.
593
00:41:40,958 --> 00:41:41,917
Me, me.
594
00:41:42,043 --> 00:41:42,961
Robby, Robby.
595
00:41:49,092 --> 00:41:50,802
The second step in my career,
596
00:41:50,885 --> 00:41:53,513
after I stopped doing
birthday parties and stuff,
597
00:41:53,596 --> 00:41:55,514
was with the song Temperatura.
598
00:41:55,597 --> 00:41:57,558
I think there was an evolution,
a physical one.
599
00:41:57,641 --> 00:41:58,768
KEVIN JIMENEZ / KEVIN ADG
THE RUDE BOYZ - MUSIC PRODUCER
600
00:41:58,851 --> 00:42:00,353
He went from being a kid to an adult.
601
00:42:00,436 --> 00:42:01,478
MALUMA - ELI PALACIOS
LA TEMPERATURA
602
00:42:01,563 --> 00:42:03,981
Rhythm had a lot to do with it
because it was an electronic Merengue.
603
00:42:04,065 --> 00:42:05,692
I think he was ready for that step.
604
00:42:05,775 --> 00:42:08,193
That was another step in my career.
605
00:42:18,329 --> 00:42:20,164
And I started experiencing different things.
606
00:42:22,625 --> 00:42:24,043
Get back! Get back!
607
00:42:27,130 --> 00:42:29,632
The first few months were really hard.
608
00:42:29,715 --> 00:42:32,092
I realized I couldn't
just get off a plane anymore.
609
00:42:32,177 --> 00:42:34,929
Today's Mother's Day, but...
610
00:42:38,349 --> 00:42:41,143
Even now, eight, nine years into my career,
I don't get off planes.
611
00:42:41,478 --> 00:42:43,688
No stopping. This is my life.
612
00:42:49,068 --> 00:42:52,739
Usually artists become famous
after living their adolescence,
613
00:42:52,822 --> 00:42:54,740
after having fun and enjoying that time.
614
00:42:54,824 --> 00:42:57,034
I didn't have time for that.
615
00:42:57,117 --> 00:43:00,246
The number one artist in Colombia!
616
00:43:00,329 --> 00:43:02,373
Maluma!
617
00:43:09,672 --> 00:43:12,091
I'm intense, and I love to work.
618
00:43:13,175 --> 00:43:14,885
Ready to start another tour tomorrow.
619
00:43:14,969 --> 00:43:16,762
Here we come, Panama.
620
00:43:16,846 --> 00:43:18,264
We were in Peru too.
621
00:43:18,347 --> 00:43:20,099
Too much love, Venezuela.
622
00:43:20,474 --> 00:43:22,893
I sacrificed everything, like my family,
623
00:43:22,976 --> 00:43:25,813
they couldn't come with me. My friends...
624
00:43:26,815 --> 00:43:29,275
From the top. From the top of the song.
625
00:43:29,358 --> 00:43:32,362
During my free time,
instead of going out with my friends,
626
00:43:32,445 --> 00:43:36,199
I preferred to stay in the studio
and keep making music.
627
00:43:36,282 --> 00:43:38,617
The music speaks for itself.
The good stuff gets out there,
628
00:43:38,702 --> 00:43:39,786
and people like it. That's how it is.
629
00:43:39,869 --> 00:43:40,787
FLEX
ARTIST
630
00:43:40,869 --> 00:43:44,498
I had to break up with my girlfriend
631
00:43:44,581 --> 00:43:47,292
'cause she wasn't a priority. Music was.
632
00:43:47,376 --> 00:43:49,962
When he broke up with her,
he called me up crying.
633
00:43:50,045 --> 00:43:51,922
He was like...
634
00:43:52,007 --> 00:43:53,383
He was inconsolable.
635
00:43:53,465 --> 00:43:57,302
I feel a little emotional,
there are a lot of people here.
636
00:43:57,429 --> 00:44:00,097
I love you! I love you with all my heart!
637
00:44:01,474 --> 00:44:04,811
I was very ambitious,
always wanting to be number one,
638
00:44:04,893 --> 00:44:07,146
always wanting to be the hottest artist.
639
00:44:07,230 --> 00:44:11,025
The party tonight will be awesome.
We're going to kill it like always.
640
00:44:11,108 --> 00:44:13,944
And I was like,
"What did they do to you? What happened?"
641
00:44:14,028 --> 00:44:17,282
"It's okay, there are plenty of women
out there. Don't worry."
642
00:44:28,710 --> 00:44:31,503
Thank you for believing in me,
for believing in Juan.
643
00:44:31,588 --> 00:44:34,007
Without him, none of this would've happened.
644
00:44:35,967 --> 00:44:39,095
The people in the back, make some noise!
645
00:44:39,179 --> 00:44:41,306
What about the ones in the front?
646
00:44:42,139 --> 00:44:44,475
I didn't really have an adolescence.
647
00:44:59,740 --> 00:45:03,202
Man, I love my fans, I love them!
648
00:45:03,286 --> 00:45:05,413
Son-of-a... Never mind.
649
00:45:07,331 --> 00:45:11,001
The Latin Grammy nomination was
a perfect moment in my career.
650
00:45:11,085 --> 00:45:12,461
I was 19.
651
00:45:13,170 --> 00:45:16,340
When they told me, I was so happy.
652
00:45:16,423 --> 00:45:18,050
There were so many stars.
653
00:45:18,134 --> 00:45:20,679
He was like, "Aunt, did you see..." "Yeah!"
654
00:45:20,762 --> 00:45:25,475
And these big, important people would say,
"Hi, Juan Luis. Hi, Maluma."
655
00:45:25,557 --> 00:45:26,768
"They know my name."
656
00:45:27,226 --> 00:45:30,730
We went to the Grammys,
but we really had no clue.
657
00:45:30,813 --> 00:45:34,942
We knew nothing about that industry.
658
00:45:35,025 --> 00:45:38,946
We had a focus, but no ambitions.
659
00:45:40,614 --> 00:45:44,702
Everyone here is proud of being Latino!
660
00:45:49,708 --> 00:45:52,251
Pump it up! Pump it!
661
00:46:01,677 --> 00:46:05,472
We had conquered one area,
662
00:46:05,556 --> 00:46:06,849
Latin America.
663
00:46:06,932 --> 00:46:09,768
We needed him to be a superstar.
664
00:46:15,650 --> 00:46:18,695
One day, I received an email that said,
665
00:46:18,777 --> 00:46:23,157
"This person who manages that person
wants to contact you
666
00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:25,492
"regarding Maluma."
667
00:46:25,577 --> 00:46:30,957
I told my husband, and he said,
"Wow, that guy is big."
668
00:46:32,751 --> 00:46:36,004
Guys, we're here at a very gringo place.
669
00:46:36,628 --> 00:46:38,839
The most gringo place
I've ever seen in my life.
670
00:46:38,922 --> 00:46:40,466
Are we going to play Jenga or what?
671
00:46:40,967 --> 00:46:43,720
We started spending more time
in the States, in Miami,
672
00:46:43,802 --> 00:46:47,473
while I focused on making
my career international.
673
00:46:47,556 --> 00:46:51,352
We moved to Miami, so his career could grow.
674
00:46:51,436 --> 00:46:53,605
We moved the whole family.
675
00:46:53,688 --> 00:46:55,440
We got in touch with Walter Kolm.
676
00:46:55,523 --> 00:46:57,483
He started working on my musical career.
677
00:46:57,567 --> 00:47:01,237
He's helped make lots of stars,
and he knows the world really well.
678
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:02,822
We saw an opportunity.
679
00:47:02,905 --> 00:47:06,576
He'd be in charge of Juan Luis,
but we'd still be managing him.
680
00:47:06,659 --> 00:47:09,287
It was an easy deal because
we complemented each other well.
681
00:47:09,371 --> 00:47:10,372
WALTER KOLM
CEO - WK ENTERTAINMENT
682
00:47:10,454 --> 00:47:13,415
They gave Juan Luis the stability he needed,
683
00:47:13,500 --> 00:47:15,918
and I worked on making him a global artist.
684
00:47:16,001 --> 00:47:17,336
Everything started to grow.
685
00:47:17,420 --> 00:47:20,798
To manage the Maluma project,
I got Miguel Lua.
686
00:47:20,882 --> 00:47:22,300
It was a partnership
687
00:47:22,384 --> 00:47:23,385
MIGUEL LUA
MANAGEMENT - WK ENTERTAINMENT
688
00:47:23,467 --> 00:47:26,178
with Juan continuing to manage
the artist's day-to-day,
689
00:47:26,262 --> 00:47:28,097
and me making the marketing decisions.
690
00:47:28,181 --> 00:47:31,101
My contract went from Sony Colombia
to Sony Latin.
691
00:47:31,184 --> 00:47:34,521
I understood that this was
the beginning of an artist
692
00:47:34,603 --> 00:47:36,897
who could transcend and have global success.
693
00:47:36,981 --> 00:47:37,982
NIR SEROUSSI
EX PRESIDENT - SONY MUSIC LATIN US
694
00:47:38,065 --> 00:47:42,778
He took a niche genre and made it accessible.
695
00:47:42,862 --> 00:47:47,367
It was a solid team,
and it worked well for several years.
696
00:47:47,449 --> 00:47:49,618
One day, my husband told me,
697
00:47:49,702 --> 00:47:52,913
"Juan Luis is telling me some weird things."
698
00:47:52,996 --> 00:47:58,210
The infrastructure that I had at that time
wasn't enough for my music career.
699
00:47:58,293 --> 00:48:00,504
I decided to stop working with Juan Parra.
700
00:48:02,882 --> 00:48:05,969
We really didn't expect that.
701
00:48:08,137 --> 00:48:10,848
He never said,
"Aunt, I don't want this anymore."
702
00:48:13,518 --> 00:48:17,271
It was very complicated. It was hard
703
00:48:17,355 --> 00:48:21,735
because at a family level, it was traumatic.
704
00:48:23,068 --> 00:48:24,403
It still is traumatic.
705
00:48:24,487 --> 00:48:26,155
It was like...
706
00:48:26,822 --> 00:48:30,784
"Who told him... Where did this come from?"
707
00:48:30,869 --> 00:48:34,247
The thing is, I could see it coming.
708
00:48:34,664 --> 00:48:37,542
It's like a marriage.
709
00:48:37,625 --> 00:48:40,628
You can see the divorce coming.
710
00:48:40,711 --> 00:48:44,548
That tear, "Aunt, I'm leaving.
I don't want this anymore."
711
00:48:44,965 --> 00:48:48,802
Knowing I was going to spend
less time with him,
712
00:48:49,596 --> 00:48:51,556
it was sad.
713
00:48:51,681 --> 00:48:53,141
Very sad.
714
00:48:53,224 --> 00:48:57,771
One of the saddest things
I've ever experienced in my life.
715
00:49:01,065 --> 00:49:02,399
What's up, fam?
716
00:49:02,483 --> 00:49:05,694
I'm not happy because...
717
00:49:06,362 --> 00:49:10,324
there are situations that happen in life
that we have to face.
718
00:49:10,949 --> 00:49:13,827
I made that decision, but I was so young.
719
00:49:14,204 --> 00:49:16,331
I didn't know who would support me.
720
00:49:16,414 --> 00:49:22,420
So many things were happening,
and I was left all alone with all of it.
721
00:49:22,503 --> 00:49:23,962
I didn't know what to do.
722
00:49:24,047 --> 00:49:28,467
I never went to college,
so I didn't know how to manage my money.
723
00:49:29,135 --> 00:49:33,515
We agreed on the terms, and we left.
724
00:49:34,181 --> 00:49:37,893
His father came and took over the space,
the emptiness, the void.
725
00:49:37,976 --> 00:49:39,728
My dad isn't my manager.
726
00:49:40,355 --> 00:49:43,565
He just came to help me with my finances
727
00:49:43,650 --> 00:49:46,110
and to help me be a little more stable.
728
00:49:46,652 --> 00:49:52,700
Because if I wasn't financially stable,
on the business side,
729
00:49:52,784 --> 00:49:55,994
then I couldn't make good music,
I wouldn't be happy.
730
00:49:56,079 --> 00:49:58,664
The positive things wouldn't happen.
731
00:49:58,748 --> 00:50:01,626
Back then, he'd say,
"Dad, don't meddle, I can handle it."
732
00:50:01,710 --> 00:50:03,420
I always respected his decision.
733
00:50:03,753 --> 00:50:07,048
In a restaurant, in Miami,
he wrote on a napkin,
734
00:50:07,132 --> 00:50:10,217
"Dad, this is who I was,
735
00:50:10,300 --> 00:50:13,137
"this is who I am,
and this is who I want to be.
736
00:50:13,554 --> 00:50:16,682
"Help me, I can't do this alone.
I don't know about this stuff."
737
00:50:18,351 --> 00:50:21,896
My relationship with my aunt isn't the same.
738
00:50:22,813 --> 00:50:24,523
We still love each other.
739
00:50:24,940 --> 00:50:26,400
Maybe even more.
740
00:50:27,860 --> 00:50:31,989
But it's not the same because there are
so many situations that we cannot share.
741
00:50:32,699 --> 00:50:36,161
What hurt the most was not being able
to have him near.
742
00:50:36,244 --> 00:50:38,079
I don't want to use the phone.
743
00:50:38,996 --> 00:50:42,708
I want the baby I raised,
the one I saw grow up.
744
00:50:50,342 --> 00:50:54,012
If it were up to me,
she'd be with me every day.
745
00:50:54,094 --> 00:50:55,721
But I understand.
746
00:50:55,804 --> 00:50:58,223
It's something she taught me, compassion.
747
00:51:00,601 --> 00:51:02,644
I understand. I put myself in their shoes.
748
00:51:03,605 --> 00:51:06,648
It's healthy and it's normal
749
00:51:06,733 --> 00:51:09,778
that things aren't the same.
750
00:51:10,195 --> 00:51:14,865
I wish they were 'cause I miss her a lot.
751
00:51:21,664 --> 00:51:24,125
When I started with Maluma in Colombia,
752
00:51:24,208 --> 00:51:27,294
he was a phenomenon with the girls,
on social media,
753
00:51:27,378 --> 00:51:30,632
but I saw something in him
that very few artists have.
754
00:51:30,715 --> 00:51:32,258
The potential to become a celebrity.
755
00:51:32,675 --> 00:51:36,512
So, I said, "He's got to be on a TV show."
756
00:51:38,264 --> 00:51:40,432
This is awesome.
757
00:51:41,016 --> 00:51:43,268
We're backstage at La Voz Kids.
758
00:51:43,353 --> 00:51:46,856
I feel like a kid on his first day of school.
759
00:51:47,356 --> 00:51:51,068
Maluma hasn't been behaving very well.
760
00:51:51,152 --> 00:51:53,070
But I think he'll learn, right?
761
00:51:53,153 --> 00:51:54,489
No, ma'am.
762
00:51:55,572 --> 00:51:58,951
Put a little bit more under the...
Yeah, that's right.
763
00:51:59,577 --> 00:52:02,622
Musically and vocally, I think you're great.
764
00:52:02,706 --> 00:52:07,043
Those two seasons strengthened
Maluma's career in Colombia,
765
00:52:07,126 --> 00:52:10,087
so we started thinking of exporting him.
766
00:52:10,547 --> 00:52:12,882
Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy comes out,
767
00:52:12,965 --> 00:52:15,050
with his first international hits.
768
00:52:17,637 --> 00:52:19,431
Hey, what's up, guys?
769
00:52:19,514 --> 00:52:24,102
We're on a photoshoot
for my album Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy.
770
00:52:24,518 --> 00:52:27,813
And it was a plan that happened very fast,
771
00:52:27,896 --> 00:52:30,650
but we spent a lot of time working on it.
772
00:52:31,192 --> 00:52:36,530
Finally, after two years,
we're doing the final touches.
773
00:52:36,614 --> 00:52:38,032
Don't erase the cassette.
774
00:52:40,284 --> 00:52:42,202
As I said before,
775
00:52:43,038 --> 00:52:46,206
everyone has to go. No one can miss it.
776
00:52:46,458 --> 00:52:47,625
Hi!
777
00:52:48,251 --> 00:52:49,586
Who wants tickets?
778
00:52:50,003 --> 00:52:51,379
There are two ways.
779
00:52:51,503 --> 00:52:57,134
Fight for your woman,
or leave your house like a dog
780
00:52:57,217 --> 00:53:00,137
with the face of a... Perdedor.
781
00:54:23,471 --> 00:54:25,181
You know what, baby?
782
00:54:25,597 --> 00:54:27,349
I love you, but...
783
00:54:29,436 --> 00:54:31,521
There's no one like Pretty Boy.
784
00:54:34,273 --> 00:54:37,067
When I started with Maluma,
they said he was a reggaeton artist,
785
00:54:37,152 --> 00:54:39,362
and I always said he was more than that.
786
00:54:39,445 --> 00:54:41,322
Maluma is an artist
787
00:54:41,405 --> 00:54:45,492
who can sing reggaeton, pop, salsa,
788
00:54:45,617 --> 00:54:48,246
but no one would listen to me.
789
00:54:48,329 --> 00:54:52,167
So I met with Afo Verde,
the Chairman of Sony Latin,
790
00:54:52,250 --> 00:54:55,085
and Afo said he had a plan.
791
00:54:55,170 --> 00:54:58,590
And the process
of conquering the world began.
792
00:55:00,175 --> 00:55:03,428
I thought Maluma was a broader artist...
793
00:55:03,510 --> 00:55:04,512
AFO VERDE
CHAIRMAN & CEO - SONY MUSIC LATIN IBERIA
794
00:55:04,637 --> 00:55:06,014
...than a genre artist.
795
00:55:07,097 --> 00:55:09,351
I wanted to see him doing something else.
796
00:55:09,434 --> 00:55:12,979
I wanted to see Maluma next to a big star,
797
00:55:13,063 --> 00:55:16,941
and his first experience with that
was Vente Pa' Ca.
798
00:55:17,025 --> 00:55:18,526
I talked to Ricky about him.
799
00:55:18,610 --> 00:55:19,736
He loved the idea.
800
00:55:19,818 --> 00:55:21,737
Look at this crazy guy.
Don't pay attention to him.
801
00:55:21,820 --> 00:55:22,989
Ricky!
802
00:55:24,157 --> 00:55:25,450
-Like it?
-Yeah.
803
00:55:25,909 --> 00:55:27,285
-Send it to me.
-Of course.
804
00:55:33,625 --> 00:55:35,668
The next time I was at Shakira's house,
805
00:55:36,126 --> 00:55:40,757
she had started making music again
after having her second child,
806
00:55:40,882 --> 00:55:43,300
and she said, "Tell me what's going on."
807
00:55:43,385 --> 00:55:44,386
SHAKIRA
ARTIST
808
00:55:44,469 --> 00:55:47,012
I was in a very open moment.
809
00:55:47,429 --> 00:55:50,140
I said yes.
I wanted to see what would happen.
810
00:55:50,224 --> 00:55:52,976
You never know what'll happen at the studio.
811
00:55:53,061 --> 00:55:57,524
It's an experiment.
It can go well, or it can go wrong.
812
00:55:57,606 --> 00:55:59,733
In this case, it went extremely well.
813
00:56:00,025 --> 00:56:01,902
-We can interchange it.
-And what we have are "chanteos."
814
00:56:04,197 --> 00:56:05,407
Like Pimpinela...
815
00:56:07,367 --> 00:56:09,369
Between you and I,
we can do a duo like them.
816
00:56:09,452 --> 00:56:10,578
Us two.
817
00:56:14,541 --> 00:56:16,960
How do you know Pimpinela
if you are so young?
818
00:56:17,043 --> 00:56:20,130
My mom! And my dad too!
819
00:56:29,972 --> 00:56:33,893
I see all those hours of work
reflected at an international level
820
00:56:33,976 --> 00:56:37,062
and I begin to do concerts
in different parts of the world.
821
00:56:37,146 --> 00:56:38,023
SANT JORDI CLUB
BARCELONA, SPAIN
822
00:56:38,481 --> 00:56:40,150
What's up, Barcelona?
823
00:56:44,778 --> 00:56:48,074
We're the Spanish fan club!
824
00:57:38,708 --> 00:57:42,086
I'm very happy. The tour has been a success.
825
00:57:42,378 --> 00:57:44,213
We sold out city after city,
826
00:57:44,297 --> 00:57:46,840
unforgettable shows city after city.
827
00:57:53,097 --> 00:57:54,891
Maluma is in the eye of the hurricane.
828
00:57:54,974 --> 00:57:56,476
The controversy of the moment--
829
00:57:56,559 --> 00:57:58,812
Why would he transgress?
This is a provocation.
830
00:57:58,978 --> 00:58:01,815
He's being criticized for his latest hit,
Cuatro Babys.
831
00:58:01,898 --> 00:58:03,733
This is a violent song.
832
00:58:03,817 --> 00:58:06,193
Women in Spain want to ban it.
833
00:58:06,985 --> 00:58:10,280
When you recorded Cuatro Babys,
did you expect all this controversy?
834
00:58:10,364 --> 00:58:13,158
This is supposed to be an interview
about my song with Pipe.
835
00:58:13,242 --> 00:58:15,452
Yes, but we can talk about other stuff.
836
00:58:15,536 --> 00:58:18,247
They told Tony, "It's Felipe's song,
837
00:58:18,331 --> 00:58:20,000
"it's Felipe's video, come on."
838
00:58:20,083 --> 00:58:21,126
FELIPE "PIPE" PELAEZ
ARTIST
839
00:58:21,208 --> 00:58:24,628
"Don't talk about that.
It's driving Juancho crazy."
840
00:58:24,713 --> 00:58:28,091
Then at the end, he derailed.
841
00:58:28,173 --> 00:58:30,300
-Would you record a trap song?
-Oh, God.
842
00:58:30,385 --> 00:58:32,804
I don't think you should answer that.
843
00:58:35,764 --> 00:58:38,684
-Let's talk about that music video then.
-Okay.
844
00:58:39,268 --> 00:58:41,645
Are you really asking me
about Cuatro Babys?
845
00:58:51,614 --> 00:58:53,490
I'm just messing with you.
846
00:58:53,574 --> 00:58:55,284
Cuatro Babys is a hit.
847
00:58:55,367 --> 00:58:57,828
When an artist is popular,
there will always be controversy.
848
00:58:58,246 --> 00:59:02,500
Trap started being very popular
in Puerto Rico.
849
00:59:02,583 --> 00:59:05,085
Even more popular than reggaeton.
850
00:59:05,170 --> 00:59:09,340
Juan Luis was interested because he wants
to be involved in what's hot,
851
00:59:09,423 --> 00:59:10,759
in what people want to hear.
852
00:59:10,842 --> 00:59:15,347
The music industry has made a mistake
that movies and TV haven't.
853
00:59:15,429 --> 00:59:18,849
When you turn on the TV
and watch a violent scene,
854
00:59:18,932 --> 00:59:21,143
a guy pointing his gun to another guy,
855
00:59:21,226 --> 00:59:22,978
we all know that's fiction.
856
00:59:23,063 --> 00:59:26,483
For some reason, that's not true for music.
857
00:59:26,565 --> 00:59:27,900
It was a hard time.
858
00:59:27,983 --> 00:59:29,818
Not for me, but for my family.
859
00:59:29,902 --> 00:59:33,655
I'd say, "Mom, don't worry. Cover your ears.
860
00:59:34,365 --> 00:59:37,284
"But uncover them when Cuatro Babys is on
and sing it with me."
861
00:59:37,369 --> 00:59:41,122
During his shows, that's the song
I sing the most. I dance to it.
862
00:59:41,206 --> 00:59:43,708
But, yes, that song got talked about.
863
00:59:43,791 --> 00:59:45,710
He records Cuatro Babys,
864
00:59:45,793 --> 00:59:48,462
and then he wanted to record other songs.
865
00:59:48,545 --> 00:59:51,340
We shot a movie with all the trap songs.
866
00:59:56,596 --> 00:59:59,099
This is a movie scene.
867
00:59:59,181 --> 01:00:00,265
We are all here, papi, supporting Maluma.
868
01:00:00,349 --> 01:00:01,226
DE LA GHETTO
ARTIST
869
01:00:03,644 --> 01:00:06,105
The stud, the original stud.
870
01:00:06,188 --> 01:00:08,982
He's a born stud.
871
01:00:09,067 --> 01:00:09,943
Action!
872
01:00:14,447 --> 01:00:16,365
-You made it!
-I made it!
873
01:00:16,449 --> 01:00:17,951
As artists, we're used to performing...
874
01:00:18,034 --> 01:00:18,867
BAD BUNNY
ARTIST
875
01:00:19,452 --> 01:00:23,957
...but this is acting, which is nice.
It's nice to do something different.
876
01:00:30,547 --> 01:00:31,840
For me, this is historic.
877
01:00:32,257 --> 01:00:33,883
Six videos in five days.
878
01:00:33,967 --> 01:00:35,385
Ready to punch, baby.
879
01:00:43,143 --> 01:00:44,394
Why did we come here?
880
01:00:44,476 --> 01:00:46,562
To cry, or what?
881
01:00:46,938 --> 01:00:47,856
BRYANT MYERS
ARTIST
882
01:00:47,938 --> 01:00:50,649
This helps the trap movement a lot.
883
01:00:50,733 --> 01:00:53,819
I think the first time I met this guy,
it was in the video of Cuatro Babys.
884
01:00:54,028 --> 01:00:56,114
-"Hey, baby, how old are you?"
-"Eighteen."
885
01:00:58,490 --> 01:01:02,411
I'm from Puerto Rico,
but my Whatsapp is Colombian.
886
01:01:02,494 --> 01:01:03,788
For my Maluma!
887
01:01:03,871 --> 01:01:04,913

JESSY TERRERO
DIRECTOR
889
01:01:07,333 --> 01:01:09,001
You'll take the bullet here
and you fall back on the mat.
890
01:01:10,420 --> 01:01:12,547
I learned how to die, man!
891
01:01:13,047 --> 01:01:16,675
When Cuatro Babys came out,
they really tried to target Maluma,
892
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:21,348
they wanted me to remove the song,
or stop singing it, but no.
893
01:01:21,431 --> 01:01:24,684
Quadruple platinum record
in the United States.
894
01:01:26,018 --> 01:01:27,519
For Cuatro Babys!
895
01:01:27,603 --> 01:01:32,024
So, thanks to all those people
who didn't want the song to grow
896
01:01:32,108 --> 01:01:33,318
because they gave it a lot of energy.
897
01:01:33,860 --> 01:01:37,572
If you like songs like Cuatro Babys,
898
01:01:37,697 --> 01:01:40,407
I'm going to keep making songs like this.
899
01:01:41,326 --> 01:01:44,079
Yeah, I'm in love with Cuatro Babys.

901
01:04:13,186 --> 01:04:15,396
Juan, I have a surprise for you.
902
01:04:16,188 --> 01:04:17,773
What the fuck is that? No.
903
01:04:19,317 --> 01:04:21,193
Oh, shit. You're kidding me.
904
01:04:21,277 --> 01:04:22,487
All for you, baby.
905
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:25,573
Oh, man!
906
01:04:31,871 --> 01:04:32,956
This is fame.
907
01:04:33,289 --> 01:04:35,291
Friday. On Friday!
908
01:04:36,583 --> 01:04:37,710
I'm shaking.
909
01:04:38,961 --> 01:04:40,213
Do you like surprises?
910
01:04:44,467 --> 01:04:47,512
With so many sexy ladies here, you gotta
keep me on stage for a little longer.
911
01:04:49,179 --> 01:04:52,141
Started from the bottom, now you're here.
Make some noise!
912
01:04:54,143 --> 01:04:55,602
This is like Christmas.

Guys, we're ready for tonight.
922
01:05:12,411 --> 01:05:16,123
A spectacular gala, The Art of Dreams
and the Eva Longoria Foundation.
923
01:05:16,206 --> 01:05:20,836
We're here on Facebook Live
from the Global Gift Gala with Eva Longoria.
924
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:22,547
-How are you?
-Good, thanks.
925
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:23,840
And, Maluma, how are you?
926
01:05:24,007 --> 01:05:24,923
Very good.
927
01:05:26,092 --> 01:05:28,845
He'll speak in English,
and I'll speak in Spanish.
928
01:05:28,927 --> 01:05:30,054
Okay, all right.
929
01:05:37,644 --> 01:05:41,940
We always dreamed of starting a foundation,
but were never sure what for.
930
01:05:42,025 --> 01:05:46,528
We want to give back to society,
to the community,
931
01:05:46,612 --> 01:05:48,864
all of the love they've given my brother,
932
01:05:48,947 --> 01:05:51,576
so we started a foundation for urban art.
933
01:05:51,659 --> 01:05:53,494
Say "Maluma!"
934
01:05:53,577 --> 01:05:54,788
Maluma!
935
01:05:55,746 --> 01:05:57,623
It's called The Art of Dreams.
936
01:05:58,625 --> 01:06:00,835
Keep supporting them, keep believing in them.
937
01:06:00,918 --> 01:06:06,340
That support for young people, for your
children, is the most important thing
938
01:06:06,882 --> 01:06:09,051
I have always been a grateful person.
939
01:06:09,135 --> 01:06:13,682
I want to send a positive message,
that dreams do come true
940
01:06:13,764 --> 01:06:15,599
if you're disciplined
941
01:06:15,684 --> 01:06:19,104
and focused on what you want.
942
01:06:23,108 --> 01:06:26,528
The generosity of our hearts has no limit,
943
01:06:26,610 --> 01:06:29,989
and so, with each experience lived,
we want to give our best.
944
01:06:34,577 --> 01:06:37,914
Our biggest dreamer, our founder, Maluma!
945
01:06:40,208 --> 01:06:44,336
All of this started within my family,
with my parents, when I was very young.
946
01:06:44,420 --> 01:06:48,507
What I remember is that I would wake up
and see them helping people,
947
01:06:48,590 --> 01:06:50,884
and that's something you inherit.
948
01:06:50,969 --> 01:06:55,181
Today, the very least I can do
for the people who listen to my music,
949
01:06:55,264 --> 01:07:00,269
is to give back a drop in the bucket
of what you've given my family and my career.
950
01:07:00,353 --> 01:07:02,896
Welcome to The Art of Dreams. God bless.
951
01:07:05,525 --> 01:07:06,860
Whenever you're ready.
952
01:07:08,068 --> 01:07:09,862
What's up, peeps? It's Maluma.
953
01:07:09,987 --> 01:07:11,905
Come celebrate 50 years of the fair.
954
01:07:11,989 --> 01:07:13,991
In the Sambil parking lot.
955
01:07:14,074 --> 01:07:15,743
Talk to me, fam!
956
01:07:16,494 --> 01:07:18,788
Greetings from paradise. Julieta!
957
01:07:19,079 --> 01:07:21,750
Julieta! Where are we going?
She's excited too, see?
958
01:07:22,708 --> 01:07:25,169
He's the most followed
Latin male artist in Instagram.
959
01:07:25,253 --> 01:07:27,255
What role does social media play in my life?
960

965
01:07:35,679 --> 01:07:39,224
Social media has become
one of my best allies.
966
01:07:39,309 --> 01:07:41,519
I'm here with my pals walking in LA.
967
01:07:41,978 --> 01:07:46,983
These platforms allow me to
connect directly with my fans
968
01:07:47,067 --> 01:07:48,108
like I never had before.
969
01:07:48,443 --> 01:07:51,071
@princeroyce
970
01:07:54,615 --> 01:07:56,534
I've always been real.
971
01:07:56,617 --> 01:07:58,536
Look at this after-party.
972
01:07:58,619 --> 01:08:00,079
This is my after-party.
973
01:08:00,204 --> 01:08:01,581
Let me introduce you to the DJ.
974
01:08:01,706 --> 01:08:03,416
DJ Pillow!
975
01:08:03,500 --> 01:08:04,833
I want to be real.
976
01:08:04,918 --> 01:08:05,751
NOW OR NEVER
977
01:08:05,835 --> 01:08:09,547
I want people to relate to a young man
who wants to better himself,
978
01:08:09,630 --> 01:08:14,051
and, like anyone, has dreams
and works hard for them every day.
979
01:08:14,135 --> 01:08:15,720
I'm so happy!
980
01:08:16,595 --> 01:08:17,971
We made history!
981
01:08:18,055 --> 01:08:21,183
This is the first time that a Latin artist
982
01:08:21,266 --> 01:08:23,769
performs a song completely in Spanish
983
01:08:24,895 --> 01:08:25,979
at the VMAs.
984
01:08:26,730 --> 01:08:30,402
And the winner for Artist of the Year,
985
01:08:30,484 --> 01:08:32,528
Social Media, is...
986
01:08:33,113 --> 01:08:34,239
Maluma!
987
01:08:35,573 --> 01:08:38,910
MALUMA
ARTIST OF THE YEAR, SOCIAL MEDIA
988
01:08:40,119 --> 01:08:41,662
Good morning, guys!
989
01:08:42,204 --> 01:08:43,707
Excuse her, she's crazy.
990
01:08:43,789 --> 01:08:46,251
Here we go. Good morning, guys! What's up?
991
01:08:49,170 --> 01:08:51,047
Look at this little princess.
992
01:08:51,131 --> 01:08:54,009
It's Halloween! I'm dressing up as Maluma.
993
01:08:54,967 --> 01:08:57,761
This guy is successful,
and I've known him since he was poor.
994

@echohits
995
01:08:58,846 --> 01:09:01,390
I love Los Angeles.
I don't know if you knew that.
996
01:09:01,890 --> 01:09:04,143
But it's nothing like my country,
like Colombia.
997
01:09:05,020 --> 01:09:06,312
#FAMETOUR
998
01:09:06,395 --> 01:09:07,313
November 10th in Bogotá.
999
01:09:07,396 --> 01:09:08,230
MOVISTAR ARENA
BOGOTA, COLOMBIA
1000
01:09:08,314 --> 01:09:09,691
I missed you!
1001
01:09:09,774 --> 01:09:11,109
Maluma, baby!
1002
01:10:25,391 --> 01:10:28,144
This is pretty rough. I didn't want to do it,
1003
01:10:28,228 --> 01:10:30,521
but I had to, they insisted.
1004
01:10:31,855 --> 01:10:34,733
I have to sacrifice myself for the team.
1005
01:10:34,818 --> 01:10:35,777
Poor me.
1006
01:10:35,859 --> 01:10:37,487
Put your hands in the air!
1007
01:11:07,182 --> 01:11:10,185
Why did I cry like a baby
at the concert in Miami?
1008
01:11:13,564 --> 01:11:17,652
Well, there were like 17,000 people clapping.
1009
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:21,989
So many connected hearts.
1010
01:11:23,615 --> 01:11:27,162
So much energy. It was a magical moment.
1011
01:11:30,707 --> 01:11:34,044
And at that moment, all I could think of was
1012
01:11:34,127 --> 01:11:37,964
all the sacrifices and the things
I've gone through to get to where I am now.
1013
01:11:40,132 --> 01:11:43,720
The truth is, in my free time,
I just want to spend time with my family,
1014
01:11:43,802 --> 01:11:45,471
I'm a family man.
1015
01:11:45,555 --> 01:11:47,932
When I say God took things from me,
1016
01:11:48,850 --> 01:11:51,853
I don't mean material things.
1017
01:11:51,935 --> 01:11:55,689
Material things don't mean anything to me.
1018
01:11:56,524 --> 01:12:00,570
Important moments
I would have liked to be a part of.
1019
01:12:00,653 --> 01:12:02,947
My priority has been my career,
1020
01:12:03,530 --> 01:12:05,283
and I've had to leave some people behind.
1021
01:12:10,579 --> 01:12:12,832
It's not easy to understand that
when you're 16.
1022
01:12:12,916 --> 01:12:15,126
You have a family, friends, moments.
1023
01:12:15,210 --> 01:12:17,462
Merry Christmas, I'm happy this December,
1024
01:12:17,545 --> 01:12:19,047
I'm here, with my family, my group.
1025
01:12:19,130 --> 01:12:22,676
You want to have the life
of a regular teenager, but you can't.
1026
01:12:22,759 --> 01:12:24,260
You become famous.
1027
01:12:29,224 --> 01:12:32,519
You can't just go out for drinks
with your friends
1028
01:12:32,601 --> 01:12:34,354
because everyone's taking your picture.
1029
01:12:34,436 --> 01:12:35,814
No, he's not in it.
1030
01:12:37,690 --> 01:12:40,527
-What should I do with the girl?
-Give her to me.
1031
01:12:40,609 --> 01:12:43,697
So you have to, in a way,
1032
01:12:43,779 --> 01:12:47,282
to create a false self,
1033
01:12:47,367 --> 01:12:50,537
so that people think the best about you.
1034
01:12:50,619 --> 01:12:52,454
To me, that was really hard.
1035
01:12:52,538 --> 01:12:55,375
Having to hide all that suffering,
1036
01:12:55,457 --> 01:13:01,130
all that anger inside me at having to
leave behind all the beautiful things
1037
01:13:01,213 --> 01:13:04,341
that were happening in my life and my youth.
1038
01:13:04,426 --> 01:13:06,469
What is your ideal woman?
1039
01:13:06,552 --> 01:13:10,180
A hard worker who likes Juan Luis,
not Maluma.
1040
01:13:11,181 --> 01:13:12,934
That's life. Look...
1041
01:13:14,894 --> 01:13:16,061
My career
1042
01:13:17,354 --> 01:13:19,064
has given me lots of things,
1043
01:13:20,190 --> 01:13:23,819
more than I could ever imagine,
1044
01:13:25,947 --> 01:13:28,908
but it also took a lot from me, you know?
1045
01:13:32,369 --> 01:13:34,538
It's not all a bed of roses.
1046
01:13:39,002 --> 01:13:40,337
But it's all good.
1047
01:13:41,587 --> 01:13:45,507
In five years, they will be talking about you
like they talk about Marc Anthony.
1048
01:13:45,591 --> 01:13:48,594
Are you ready for that kind
of responsibility, Maluma?
1049
01:13:48,677 --> 01:13:49,511
Of course.
1050
01:13:54,768 --> 01:13:56,685
-Fuck that shit.
-We'll figure this shit out.
1051
01:13:58,604 --> 01:14:02,192
No, take it, we just did a fucking remix
in two seconds, I'm like, all right, cool.
1052
01:14:02,274 --> 01:14:03,233
I'm gonna follow you.
1053
01:14:03,525 --> 01:14:07,072
Motherfucker, you're always finding
the right way to fucking fuck with me, man.
1054
01:14:07,154 --> 01:14:08,405
I love you. Yo, kill that shit.
1055
01:16:51,485 --> 01:16:53,822
I have a new album called 11:11.
1056
01:16:53,904 --> 01:16:59,076
All the songs on the album remind me
1057
01:16:59,159 --> 01:17:01,412
of when I started my music career.
1058
01:17:12,047 --> 01:17:14,634
I wanted a more urban sound
1059
01:17:14,759 --> 01:17:16,552
to get back to my roots.
1060
01:17:16,636 --> 01:17:19,180
I have songs with other artists.
1061
01:17:19,264 --> 01:17:21,516
So, that's what's coming this year,
1062
01:17:21,599 --> 01:17:23,768
good music and hard work.
1063
01:17:40,159 --> 01:17:43,203
Right now, I don't want to slow down.
1064
01:17:45,832 --> 01:17:47,542
My career is just starting.
1065
01:17:49,793 --> 01:17:51,796
I feel the best is yet to come.
1066
01:17:54,381 --> 01:17:56,967
The Latin Grammy goes to...
1067
01:18:01,305 --> 01:18:04,058
From Colombia, my friend, Maluma!
1068
01:18:06,728 --> 01:18:10,731
I want to dedicate this award to my team,
who are always with me,
1069
01:18:10,814 --> 01:18:12,858
to my family, who couldn't be here today.
1070
01:18:12,942 --> 01:18:15,362
Mom, it was hard, but we made it!
1071
01:18:15,444 --> 01:18:16,904
A big kiss for you!
1072
01:18:17,279 --> 01:18:18,989
And, finally,
1073
01:18:19,114 --> 01:18:23,786
I want to dedicate it to the kids
in my foundation, The Art of Dreams
1074
01:18:23,869 --> 01:18:25,662
Keep dreaming, it's worth it, guys.
1075
01:18:28,582 --> 01:18:30,918
I had to stop touring,
1076
01:18:31,002 --> 01:18:33,755
I had to quit promoting,
I had to stop making videos,
1077
01:18:33,837 --> 01:18:35,965
I had to pause my career a little.
1078
01:18:36,048 --> 01:18:39,135
I injured my right knee.
1079
01:18:39,219 --> 01:18:42,346
I felt it was a sign from God, life, destiny,
1080
01:18:42,430 --> 01:18:44,766
telling me I needed to slow down.
1081
01:18:44,849 --> 01:18:46,643
My first painting.
1082
01:18:46,725 --> 01:18:50,938
I'll sign it. Just wanted to show
the love I have for this.
1083
01:18:51,355 --> 01:18:55,484
That's when I stopped for a while
and got connected on a spiritual level
1084
01:18:55,568 --> 01:18:58,780
and went through this rebirth
that I feel is happening today.
1085
01:18:58,863 --> 01:19:00,990
I feel like I'm being reborn.
1086
01:19:10,792 --> 01:19:13,128
Nothing about him surprises me.
For him, the sky's the limit.
1087
01:19:13,211 --> 01:19:15,963
One more song, then we go home!
1088
01:19:16,046 --> 01:19:18,966
What I admire the most about Juan Luis
is his discipline.
1089
01:19:19,050 --> 01:19:23,179
Obviously, talent is important,
but without discipline, you'll get nowhere.
1090
01:19:23,262 --> 01:19:24,972
Malu doesn't sleep.
1091
01:19:26,056 --> 01:19:29,560
When he's on tour,
he has a mobile studio where he can work.
1092
01:19:29,685 --> 01:19:32,146
Let's get more music done. Cheers!
1093
01:19:32,229 --> 01:19:34,148
The music industry is always changing.
1094
01:19:35,065 --> 01:19:37,484
Right now, everything's very urban-sounding.
1095
01:19:38,069 --> 01:19:42,907
But if it changes, Maluma will be able
to sing other genres that don't exist yet.
1096
01:19:42,990 --> 01:19:43,908
We'll see.
1097
01:19:44,951 --> 01:19:48,163
Limitations only exist in our heads,
in our minds.
1098
01:19:50,539 --> 01:19:55,002
With work, perseverance and determination,
you can reach great goals.
1099
01:19:58,422 --> 01:19:59,631
What's next for me?
1100
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:02,010
Performing at Madison Square Garden!
1101
01:20:02,092 --> 01:20:03,677
To keep filling stadiums.
1102
01:20:03,761 --> 01:20:05,596
I'll see you tonight, Rome.
1103
01:20:05,805 --> 01:20:07,015
Hello, London!
1104
01:20:15,230 --> 01:20:17,567
Today, I can say
1105
01:20:17,649 --> 01:20:20,737
that dreams do come true.
1106
01:20:20,819 --> 01:20:25,991
Maluma is a dream that came true.
1107
01:20:26,076 --> 01:20:28,787
Tonight's show was
the best I've ever had in my life.
1108
01:20:29,203 --> 01:20:33,248
I want to thank you all for doing your job,
1109
01:20:33,332 --> 01:20:34,792
and doing it magnificently.
1110
01:20:41,298 --> 01:20:42,466
See you soon.
1111
01:20:43,842 --> 01:20:44,802
Thank you.
