It’s made me stronger as a person, more confident in many ways, and insecure in other ways. La OG is like a hug to myself, to show that me and my team are incredible and accomplish what we want to do no matter where we come from.
TV: You’ve previously called Kenia Os: La OG the end to the Pink Aura album era. How would you describe the era that’s coming next in your career?
KO: I want to start dropping some hints. I can tell you that all this year I’ve recorded what I believe to be more than 40 songs. At the same time, I’m working on a lot of other projects that I’m excited about. I believe this next era reflects a topic that I’ve never really talked about before; It’s something that represents me, but that I haven’t opened up about.
It’s very beautiful to know that I’m going to be able to let this side of me out soon and find empowerment in that energy. Next year, I’m going to be on tour everywhere, so start saving! If you save two pesos a day from now until next year, you’ll be able to buy a ticket to my show. [Laughs.] I’m dying to sing for my fans again and I’m so excited to see them on tour.
TV: As a Mexican artist, do you have a message for the Mexican immigrants and the Latino community that are going through a difficult time politically in the U.S.?
KO: It’s a moment where we as Mexicans, and above all as the Latino community, need to be even more united. We have to stick together during this crisis that we’re experiencing. Many families are going through very tough times. I’m very proud to be Mexican and represent my country wherever I go. I feel very proud to represent my Latino people when I’m in the U.S. What it’s about right now is raising your flag, feeling proud of who you are, and embracing your people.
