00:03Hello, friends of People VIP.
00:05I'm here with Leonel Ataveras, and I'm with El Alfa.
00:08Welcome to People in Spanish. How are you?
00:10Happy and happy. Thank you for the opportunity
00:14once again to make history in urban music.
00:20Great. Well, let's talk about this tour
00:22that you're about to do in the United States.
00:25Tell us, what will you do different from this tour from the past?
00:28What can your fans expect?
00:30This tour starts on the 12th in Arizona.
00:34We have a totally different show.
00:38We're thinking about doing things
00:41that I've never done on my tours
00:46or on the last tour.
00:48Besides that, we also have
00:50one of the hottest songs right now.
00:55We just had one of the most successful tours in Europe
01:02in the summer, everything that happened in the summer in Europe.
01:09A lot of positive things are happening,
01:12and we're going to keep giving our best,
01:15all of us, the whole team.
01:17And well, tell us a little bit about the music selection.
01:20We'll listen to your classics,
01:22or will it be another trip through your recent productions?
01:26Will there be surprises, special guests?
01:28What can you tell us?
01:30Yes, in the first five shows, I have a lot of surprises.
01:35I can't give details, but a very good question
01:40for those who don't know,
01:42the Alfa shows are around one hour and fifty,
01:49and I always do twenty or thirty minutes
01:53of my classic songs.
01:56Like Merlin, which I have,
01:59which I almost never do the same,
02:04I do it in a variety of ways,
02:06depending on what the audience is asking for.
02:09Okay, and well, in all your years of career,
02:13you've had a lot of collaborations.
02:16Could you tell us which were two of your favorites and why?
02:22I did a collaboration with
02:27Major Lazer Diplo and J Balvin.
02:33That song opened a lot of doors for me
02:36and got me into the high-end of the digital era,
02:41if we can call it that.
02:43And the second collaboration,
02:50if I had to choose quickly,
02:52it would be La Romana with Bad Bunny.
02:56Great.
02:57And well, to finish our interview,
03:00like all artists, you have a lot of admirers,
03:03but you also have a lot of people who criticize you,
03:06either for your lifestyle, your music.
03:08How do you deal with criticism?
03:10What is your philosophy of life?
03:12How do you deal with all that?
03:14Well, for me, one of my idols was Juan Luis Guerra,
03:19and he was one of the artists
03:21at the beginning of what was most criticized in my country.
03:25And today he is one of the five artists
03:30that the Dominican Republic loves the most.
03:32So it's normal that criticism doesn't affect me.
03:38Now, there is something that I have,
03:41that is like something that I carry inside,
03:44that in my work I don't like to be replaceable,
03:48and that's why I keep myself busy all day
03:51in my work, when I'm not composing,
03:53when I'm doing new things, looking for modernity.
03:57And that makes me the artist of the urban decade
04:02in the Dominican Republic.
04:05Perfect.
04:06Well, thank you very much, Alpha,
04:08for being here with us.
04:10And if we can say goodbye with a message
04:12so that your fans don't get lost on this tour
04:14here in the United States.
04:16We started on the 12th at the table.
04:18All my fans in the United States,
04:20get active.
04:22I'm happy.
04:24Happy for what has just happened in Europe.
04:30I just released the single.
04:33It's working very well.
04:36I'm very happy.
04:38And you can expect something totally different
04:40in this tour.
