00:00While I was there, I was sad and sad too.
00:04And I was like, no, I'm going to cry.
00:06Hey, what do you mean too?
00:07I was sad.
00:10Hey, I'm Ryan Castro.
00:11And I'm El Bendito.
00:16Ryan and Blessed.
00:17How are you? Welcome to Miami.
00:19I love that we are celebrating the Bendito Quero Tour today.
00:23How do you feel?
00:25Happy, really.
00:28We are thankful to God because this is going to happen.
00:32And it's going to be an incredible and unforgettable party for our fans.
00:36We have to start from the beginning.
00:39Where was the first time you met?
00:42We met in Medellin.
00:44Ryan came to Curacao.
00:46And I remember that I was at a farm.
00:50And Ryan told me to go to the studio.
00:53And I went to the studio.
00:56And someone already introduced you.
00:58No, I talked to him on social media.
01:00But we hadn't met yet.
01:02And we met at the studio.
01:04First, the flirt.
01:06First, we fell in love on Instagram.
01:08The two of us.
01:10First, we talked on Instagram.
01:12And he told me to go to the studio.
01:14And I was like, hey, let's go.
01:16I went to the studio.
01:18And we listened to a couple of songs.
01:20And that's when the first song came out.
01:22And I was sad.
01:24I was sad too.
01:26And he was like, me too.
01:28I was sad.
01:34So we recorded the song and met.
01:36And we've been together for 6 years.
01:40How did it happen?
01:42Because I know that men are a little different from women.
01:44But if you're sad,
01:46you're meeting someone, obviously,
01:48where the two of them are opening their hearts.
01:50Did you tell each other what was going on?
01:52Of course.
01:54You know what was nice?
01:56I feel like that was the success of the song.
01:58Because it was a song with a lot of respect.
02:02And the energy was like,
02:04I had a berry,
02:06the chorus and everything.
02:08And I was like,
02:10I have to kill it too.
02:12But neither of us were famous.
02:14The thing was that I was sad before.
02:16And I made the song.
02:18And I was sad at the studio.
02:20And then he told me,
02:22let's make a sad song.
02:24I already have it.
02:26I already went through that sadness.
02:30So we got together.
02:32But the success of the song
02:34was something very different
02:36from what was playing.
02:38Because it was on the street,
02:40reggaeton, reggaeton, reggaeton.
02:42And we came with Lejanía,
02:44which is a very sad and romantic song.
02:46And a slower rhythm.
02:48That contrast also made the song
02:50a success.
02:52And how do you fall now,
02:54obviously a couple of years later,
02:56where do you decide to do this tour together?
02:58As we talked,
03:00Lejanía and I were more like,
03:02let's do a tour together in the United States.
03:04Let's do it.
03:06Because we have very good communication.
03:08So when it was raised,
03:10it was taken to the table,
03:12we gave it.
03:14And that's how it was.
03:16Our thing has always been more
03:18him and me.
03:20He told me,
03:22let's do it.
03:24Let's see if I like it.
03:26Let's do this thing.
03:28I got to the show.
03:30Because we both came out of the same thing.
03:32And we are friends,
03:34we have common friends,
03:36people in common.
03:38So that makes everything easier to do.
03:40And how difficult is that part
03:42of the creative process together?
03:44How have you been able to
03:46get involved enough?
03:48No, the creative process,
03:50I think for us,
03:52it's the easiest thing to do.
03:54Because whenever we see each other in the studio,
03:56we have very good chemistry with the producers
03:58who work with us,
04:00with the people who are also going to contribute
04:02their ideas in the studio.
04:04In the creative part, we flow very naturally.
04:06In the business too,
04:08because the people who are there,
04:10they are people who we love
04:12and who work with us.
04:14And very professional people too.
04:16That's why these things happen,
04:18because we always flow very naturally.
04:20And if you could tell the fans
04:22what they have to bring to a concert
04:24from Ryan and Red?
04:26They have to bring incredible energy.
04:28Obviously they have to bring
04:30blue clothes, red clothes.
04:32Comfortable clothes.
04:34To dance.
04:36From Ryan.
04:38There are a lot of things they have to do.
04:40Take advantage of the blue and red.
04:42If they want to take off their blue hair,
04:44they have to go.
04:46But no, go with all the energy
04:48and objects.
04:50Tell them to go crazy.
04:52Tell them to see what I put on to go to the concert.
04:54Go crazy.
04:56Sit comfortably.
04:58Go comfortable.
05:00Go in flip flops.
05:02And the signs?
05:04What do you call them?
05:06The banners.
05:08Of course, the banners.
05:10The little flag.
05:12All that also goes.
05:14Here you can also buy the tickets.
05:16In this video.
