The Argentine Tini hopes to leave the doors open for women in urban music
Mexico City, Jul 15 (EFE) .- Being part of the women’s movement in urban music is something that makes the Argentine singer Tini Stoessel proud, who hopes that with this irruption that she has made together with other colleagues in the genre, doors will open for the following generations. “I am very proud to be part of this movement, not only for today’s women, but also for the number of young people and women who will want to make music tomorrow and that perhaps it will not be for nothing. difficult,” Argentina told Efe this Friday in an interview in Mexico City. The 25-year-old singer, who visited Mexico on the occasion of the MTV MIAW Awards and to promote her new song “La loto”, in which she collaborates with the Brazilian Anitta and the Mexican-American Becky G, acknowledges that breaking into reggaeton has been difficult, especially because of the female talent that already exists. “It is difficult in the sense of saying ‘wow, how much female talent there is and was in the world’ and perhaps the possibilities are not entirely open. In that sense, it kind of makes you sad, angry, sad, but I was never afraid to do it, ”she confesses. The star, who rose to fame for playing “Violetta” in the Disney series of the same name, assures that making a dent in the music industry was initially an “unconscious” action, because she did not imagine what it could bring. “I encouraged myself, I did it and I didn’t care if they were going to judge me, I didn’t care at all, I had an unconsciousness, I think that was good,” says the singer of hits like “La Triple T” and “Lie to me”. That same outburst was what led Argentina to seek collaboration with Anitta and Becky G, whom she admires, but she also considers her “friends of hers”, referents and allies in this women’s movement in the urban genre. “Sharing this reggaeton song, talking about what we want to talk about no matter what they are going to say, wearing what we want to wear and dancing how we want to dance and everything, I think it’s progress,” she says. MUSIC IS KEY IN SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Stoessel, who a few days ago was recognized with the MTV MIAW “Artist + Ido Argentina” award, considers that music has been key in all social movements in the world and, especially, in feminism Latin American, of which he also feels a part. “It happened to me, perhaps listening to songs and also beginning to understand a lot of things that perhaps I had not realized,” she says. “And that the music accompanies, that we not only be women, but also men that accompany movement and that they help this is extremely important, “he adds. In addition, she believes that music is constantly “pulling” (throwing) a very positive message in that regard. A YOUNG STAR At 25 years old, Tini is already a recognized star worldwide, because from a very young age she gained fame with her Disney character “Violetta”, which allowed her to become known throughout the world. She assures that the key to this success is simple: enjoy what she does. “I make music and have fun like I don’t know since I was a girl, I do things with a mentality of doing them because they do me good and because I enjoy them,” she says. In addition, she acknowledges, the urban genre has helped her internationalization because they are usually melodies that quickly enter the ear. However, she also affirms that making this type of music was not a strategy to reach everyone, but part of her nature, since it was the genre that she liked. “Perhaps I inevitably turn to that when making music because it’s what I listen to and it’s what I consume,” she says. She, although she, can also make deeper songs “that break your heart, like” Flesh and bone. “It’s a ballad that you say: I want to leave, cry and not get out of bed, “she says. Singer, actress, businesswoman and writer, Tini still sees a long way to go in music, although she prefers to leave the future in anticipation. “I don’t know the race, life is taking you and I think you have to leave it a bit. Nor without so much expectation of letting life be a little like that, as to see what it has to give you and have your goals so clear, ”she concludes. Cristina Sánchez Reyes (c) Agencia EFE
