00:00♪ Quería para mí, me haces sonreír, el acto de... ♪
00:31Well, let's see. You're breaking the rules with reggaeton.
00:35It's difficult. Let's start by talking about how long you've been doing it and why you chose reggaeton.
00:40Well, Jenny, I've been professionally doing this for six years, but I've always loved music.
00:45I started with urban influence, with El Meneíto, with Proyecto Uno, with Los Ilegales, and it developed.
00:52Then with Felina de Toritito was when I had the click and I said, this is what I want to do.
00:56Because it's music that makes me feel good, right?
00:58When I'm sad, when I'm not feeling very happy, I put on reggaeton and my energy goes up.
01:03So I feel like that's my mission as an artist.
01:06Perfect. Yes, I see that you have a mission because I read it on your Facebook and it seemed inspiring.
01:10And a little bit, it makes me laugh because everyone who stops here at Miami TV studios
01:14always talks about positive energy.
01:16It seems like we attract the right people, I don't know.
01:19There are vibrations.
01:21Well, Colombian from Bogotá, right?
01:22Bogotana, yes.
01:23And you're from Miami and from Visita.
01:25Yes, and working.
01:26Right now we're in Charlotte, in North Carolina,
01:28and we're representing women there at the Carolina Festival.
01:33So, we left.
01:34You came back this morning.
01:35We came back today, yes.
01:36How did it go?
01:37Very well, thank God.
01:38A lot of people.
01:39There were more than 80,000 people.
01:40And it went very well.
01:41We also gave a gift to a compatriot of mine, a recognition, Charlie Sa.
01:45Yes, I love it.
01:46His voice is incredible.
01:48So, it was very positive.
01:50Yes, fantastic.
01:51Well, a lot of Latinos in the north.
01:52A lot of Latinos, Central Americans, Mexicans.
01:54So, there was a very cool energy.
01:56Yes, how nice.
01:57Well, what do you like the most about being on stage?
01:59I think that the energy, the energy that you share with him,
02:02that you exchange with your audience, is something very, very interesting.
02:05You get to know the people, more or less.
02:07Yes, yes, yes.
02:08You, as an artist, learn to do your thing.
02:10Yes.
02:11And sometimes, when they're getting to know you until now,
02:13suddenly the audience only observes you,
02:15so you can't depend so much on the applause.
02:17That's difficult, right?
02:18Yes, learning that is difficult.
02:19But you learn to enjoy all the shows, and that's the key, I think.
02:22How nice, how nice.
02:23Well, you've been doing it professionally for six years.
02:26Yes.
02:27You're a singer-songwriter, so you're writing your own lyrics.
02:29Yes.
02:30What kind of lyrics do you write?
02:32Well, I'm very romantic, yes.
02:34I'm very romantic, I'm in love.
02:36I think I always try to describe what I'm going through, right?
02:39So, I go from lyrics full of love,
02:41then I make a song of disappointment,
02:44then of seduction, so that process...
02:46But you go from all of them, then.
02:47From all of them, right?
02:48Like all women, right?
02:49We all go through all of those processes,
02:51so that's what I like to capture,
02:53to be able to interpret it well when I'm in the shows, in the studio,
02:55so that's why I like to write.
02:57And the new music that we're sending right now is,
02:59I Don't Know You.
03:00I Don't Know You.
03:01Is this for someone specific, or...?
03:03Well, I Don't Know You was inspired by those relationships
03:05that start as something physical, right?
03:06And you think they're a game,
03:08and when you realize it, you fall in love.
03:10So, that's what I Don't Know You is about,
03:11and I think a lot of people identified with the theme.
03:14Are you in love now?
03:15I'm in love with life.
03:17That should be in the question.
03:20No, I'm in love.
03:21I think that's my inspiration.
03:22That's where I find the muse of inspiration.
03:24So, I try to keep my heart in love.
03:27Let's see, I see you have a tattoo.
03:28Yes.
03:29Can I ask what it means?
03:30Of course.
03:31It's like the spiritual symbols that impact me a lot.
03:34This is the Ankh Cross,
03:35which was the cross that the pharaohs used in Egyptian culture,
03:38and it's the key to life,
03:40life after death,
03:41so it allows me to always be reborn.
03:44I am, which is the decree that connects me to my creator.
03:47So, it makes me feel powerful.
03:48Before the shows, I always invoke it,
03:50and it makes me feel powerful.
03:52The eye that everyone sees,
03:54the trinity, wisdom, light,
03:55connects me to the light.
03:56A lot of people can have a double meaning.
03:58Yes, it's happened to me,
03:59but I think that the symbols,
04:01various currents have acquired the symbols
04:03so that they represent it,
04:04but it doesn't necessarily mean that you lead
04:07or are part of those movements.
04:08So, I like the energy that emanates,
04:11and the UFOs, because I think there are higher intelligences
04:13that I like.
04:14That's why you liked the alien.
04:15He liked Peter.
04:16I loved it.
04:17It was the first thing that caught my attention.
04:18It has a name and everything.
04:19Peter.
04:20Peter, I love it.
04:21Well, no, me too.
04:22I mean, we, well, in the show,
04:23within everything,
04:24now, well, we talk a little about music,
04:26but if we talk about aliens or astral things,
04:29we stay here all night, I think.
04:30Yes, yes.
04:31But how interesting.
04:32Have you been able to involve this type of theme
04:34a little bit in the music?
04:35It's difficult, isn't it?
04:36But I do.
04:37When you see my videos,
04:38you can find a lot of hidden symbology,
04:40because I like to connect.
04:42Don't tell me you're doing subliminal.
04:43No, no, no.
04:44I sublimate everything.
04:45And if I do it subliminal,
04:46it's always very positive.
04:47So, for example,
04:48you can see La Cruz Anc
04:49in Dame Tiempo's video.
04:51It's a production of Looney Tunes,
04:53and La Cruz connects, like,
04:55the whole story of the video.
04:56Perfect.
04:57And Astra,
04:58tell people what your name means.
04:59Because you also invented this, right?
05:01Yes, yes, yes.
05:02Can we see your real name?
05:03Of course, Ana María Cortés.
05:04Very good.
05:05And from there comes the name of my label,
05:06which is Cortés Entertainment.
05:07Okay.
05:08And Astra, well,
05:09I was always very struck by the sound
05:11of urban music, right?
05:12Because you hear it...
05:13Reggaeton, something like that.
05:14Yes.
05:15So, I was always looking for an artistic name.
05:17And one day, reading Hindu mythology,
05:18I saw the name Astra.
05:19Astras were weapons that the gods used
05:21to restore the order of the world.
05:24I hope to act as a psychological weapon
05:26to sow my seed of positivity with music,
05:28right?
05:29And good vibes.
05:30What do you think,
05:31I mean,
05:32because you have a lot of competition,
05:34but not...
05:35I mean, women,
05:36because there aren't many women
05:37who do reggaeton.
05:38Yes.
05:39I mean,
05:40well,
05:41Evie Queen,
05:42who was the first one to start.
05:43And the truth is that later,
05:44I don't know much about reggaeton
05:45and women,
05:46but I don't know anyone else,
05:47no other woman who does reggaeton.
05:48Yes,
05:49it is a medium governed by men.
05:50Yes.
05:51Undoubtedly.
05:52How do they welcome you?
05:53Well, very well,
05:54thank God,
05:55I have also met very gentlemanly men.
05:56You find one of everything,
05:57but I think that for women,
05:58in all fields,
05:59in journalism,
06:00in politics,
06:01in music,
06:02it costs a little more work,
06:03right?
06:04So,
06:05it's something strange,
06:06right?
06:07But I always say that it is a process
06:08that is positive
06:09because it makes you
06:10pull yourself more,
06:11and it demands you more,
06:12and it makes you reinvent yourself,
06:13and if this doesn't work for you,
06:14then look for the way.
06:15So,
06:16it has been something very,
06:17very positive.
06:18Have you come across a wall out there?
06:19Too many walls,
06:20many barriers,
06:21many barriers,
06:22but,
06:23yes,
06:24and sometimes,
06:25the stereotypes,
06:26also,
06:27of women in reggaeton,
06:28so,
06:29it's difficult,
06:30but well,
06:31it's a challenge,
06:32and that's what makes everything richer.
06:33But what do men think
06:34of a woman
06:35singing reggaeton?
06:36It's like when we try
06:37to change the tire
06:38of the car.
06:39Something like that,
06:40something like that,
06:41yes.
06:42You get into what you know,
06:43you see,
06:44and you don't get into,
06:45yes,
06:46yes,
06:47I'm going to invent something here.
06:48Because you're a man.
06:49Yes,
06:50something like that.
06:51So,
06:52sometimes it's harder
06:53to earn your respect,
06:54but,
06:55as I tell you,
06:56I've worked with men
06:57who have also been gentlemen,
06:58who have supported me,
06:59so,
07:00there's everything.
07:01But I think that
07:02on the romantic theme,
07:03maybe,
07:04women have a little more
07:05of this,
07:06but men are more graphic,
07:07more direct,
07:08right?
07:09We go more towards
07:10the side of seduction,
07:11romanticism,
07:12love,
07:13so,
07:14that's why I struggle so much
07:15to write my letters,
07:16right?
07:17Many times it's like,
07:18no,
07:19let me write the letter,
07:20and I say,
07:21no,
07:22it's not the same,
07:23because women think
07:24differently,
07:25so,
07:26that's why I love
07:27writing, too.
07:28Because the person
07:29who offered you to write
07:30the letter was a man.
07:31Usually.
07:32Usually it's a man.
07:33Usually it's a man,
07:34and I don't understand
07:35why you're so
07:36interested in
07:37romanticism.
07:38Yes, yes.
07:39Well,
07:40you touched on a point there.
07:41That's not commercial.
07:42We know that
07:43in the theme of music
07:44there's everything,
07:45but everyone also
07:46gets commercialized.
07:47You get to a point
07:48where you start being you,
07:49you start being real
07:50to what you want to project
07:51and the message
07:52you want to give,
07:53but when someone comes
07:54and gives you a check
07:55and says,
07:56look,
07:57I'm going to write
07:58all the music
07:59and from now on
08:00you're in my company
08:01and you're going to be
08:02super...
08:03from one day to the next
08:04you're going to be
08:05a super...
08:06Yes, yes,
08:07and I think I get
08:08that a lot,
08:09but I'm an artist
08:10more than anything else.
08:11So I feel like
08:12I can't sell myself.
08:13Obviously
08:14you have to find
08:15the balance,
08:16the balance between
08:17feeling and commercial.
08:18But I do like
08:19being who I am.
08:20I like wearing my look.
08:21I like...
08:22because that's what
08:23being an artist is about,
08:24to impose what you feel.
08:25I like that you
08:26perceive that
08:27because I always
08:28try to balance
08:29the feminine energy
08:30with the masculine
08:31in my wardrobe,
08:32in the way I move.
08:35And you?
08:36You want to intimidate me,
08:37right?
08:38That's why I asked
08:39if you were going to
08:40dress me up.
08:41So we're going out?
08:42We're going out.
08:43You're going out,
08:44yes.
08:45Oh my God.
08:46Well,
08:47what do you think
08:48about the subliminal messages
08:49that some people
08:50send in their music
08:51that aren't
08:52so positive?
08:53What do you think
08:54about that kind of music?
08:55Well, I think
08:56that's also something...
08:57The people who do it
08:58also generate
08:59energy.
09:00If you
09:01throw away
09:02the negative energy,
09:03you're going to receive that.
09:04So I think
09:05it's something to be careful about.
09:06And that's why
09:07I always try to walk
09:08a lot
09:09through the positive
09:10vibrations,
09:11because I know
09:12the consequences
09:13of getting entangled
09:14with that.
09:15So I think
09:16that everyone
09:17has a free will
09:18and makes the decision
09:19to go down
09:20the path that...
09:21But life also
09:22gives you back
09:23what you give.
09:24I'm going to do
09:25something out of the ordinary.
09:26I don't know.
09:27Check out the five.
09:28Check out the five.
09:29I got the five-year-old
09:30wool.
09:31Thank God
09:32in Medellín.
09:33I was nominated
09:34for recognition
09:35by artists
09:36that I also
09:37greatly respect.
09:38How nice.
09:39In Colombia
09:40yourself
09:41or in Colombia?
09:42In Colombia.
09:43It was very beautiful.
09:44So I think
09:45it's a reward
09:46for the work
09:47we've done.
09:48We've worked
09:49very hard,
09:50very disciplined,
09:51and with a lot
09:52of temperament.
09:53Because it's
09:54a complicated medium
09:55that tries
09:56to destroy
09:57your self-esteem
09:58if you allow it.
09:59A lot of pressure?
10:00It's something very nice to receive the reward.
10:02Especially nowadays with social media.
10:04You get more, right?
10:06You have to filter that very well because there are many haters as well as many lovers.
10:10But the important thing is always to balance for the good side, right?
10:14If there are more lovers than the other, then you know you're doing something good.
10:17And be very sure of yourself.
10:19I believe that we are all different, we all have different beauties,
10:22and it is to learn to love with what you are.
10:25Intriguing, right?
10:27To see a music video of a pretty girl rapping, we could say, in reggaeton,
10:32to see that there is so much more beyond the music of those lyrics,
10:36and that the message is much deeper than what you may see in a music video.
10:40I always like to take that part of the person,
10:42because it is something that no one ever sees, unless you manage to speak it.
10:46So how nice that people at least now know that if they follow you,
10:49they will also be following a person who generates positive energy.
10:53Well, I welcome you to invite everyone to your social media pages,
10:56to see your music video, and well, let them follow you.
10:59Well, to all my people connected with us, I invite you to follow me on Twitter,
11:02Instagram and Facebook, you can find me as I am Astra.
11:05Astra is written in A-S-T-R-A, the YouTube channel,
11:07where you can find all my music videos.
11:09It's YoSoyAstraOficial, and the website is www.yosoyastra.com
11:14There it came out, you saw the cut, I don't know how to do it.
11:17Wait, wait, do you know how to rap out of nowhere, or do you have to learn the lyrics?
11:20Freestyle, freestyle is another style.
11:23I'm more about writing my lyrics, sitting down.
11:26We can't delight them then.
11:28But well, they are going to see the video of I Don't Know You now,
11:30I think they have a lot to delight themselves,
11:33and listen to the beautiful rapping, we could say.
11:36Yes, the rhythmic recitation of rhymes, I call it what I do.
11:39It's rap, it's the definition of rap.
11:41Well, I wish you the best, continue with the positive vibe,
11:44keep going, and never change that thought of sending positive energy to people.
11:47Thank you, thank you for the invitation, and what a beautiful energy I feel from you,
11:50what a beautiful aura, in addition to being a very beautiful woman.
11:53Thank you for the invitation.
11:54Thank you too.
11:55Well friends, we continue now with I Don't Know You,
11:57and stay here on MadiMi TV for much more.
11:59Goodbye.
12:20I don't know you, but I lost all control.

13:01Tuni D, the maki, maki, geysot.
13:04DJ Nelo, JC, I am a star.
13:07I don't know you, but I lost all control.
13:12I am that mistake that you repeat inside my room.
13:17I don't know about you, but I have no intention of letting you escape
13:25I want you to make me yours, one more time
13:29I want you to make me yours, one more time
