Fernando always went to see me at a restaurant that I always play on Sundays. And after he played golf, he got there very early to have breakfast and listen to our music. Ich habe immer mit ihm geredet, ich habe ihn gefragt, hey, nimm mich zum Dodgers, ich will dort singen. Ich muss dort singen, weil alle da sind, meine Freunde, ich muss dort sein.

Er hat mir immer gesagt, dass er Mariachi nicht mag. Er hat mir immer gesagt, dass ich Mariachi nicht mag, ich mag Bande. Weißt du, Bandas? Die großen, die Tuba, die sind sehr gruselig, gruselig. Er liebte das. Also als sie sich verabschiedeten, habe ich ihn gefragt, warum bringst du nicht Bandas Recodo? Die berühmteste Bande in Sinaloa, Mexiko. Sehr berühmt. Oh nein, weil ich dich spielen möchte.

Ich möchte, dass du da bist, mit deinem Grupp. So, one day he took somebody of the crew, of the Dodgers. They called me, Fernando Valenzuela wants you to sing for the retired number, your wife. Oh my God, for real? I was in the newspapers and the noticias, noticieros. Oh, Deira Barrera from Villa Juarez, Sonora. She was the singer that Fernando asked to go to sing for his retired number.

Oh my God. I don't know if you can see my under eyes black. I haven't slept well since November. Am 22. November, als das Gnx-Album herauskam, war es für mich verrückt. Es war wie, oh mein Gott, ich habe mir diesen Eindruck nicht vorgestellt.

Als Fernando passierte, riefen sie mich sofort an, wenn ich die Tribute dort singen möchte. Und natürlich habe ich gesagt, ja. Nicht mal darüber nachgedacht, ob es das erste Spiel der Welt-Serie ist, Junkies und Dodgers. Ich habe mich nicht darüber nachgedacht. Ich habe mich nur darüber nachgedacht, dass ich für meinen Freund singen möchte.

Ich singe dort, schaue in den Kabinett, wo er früher sitzt, um das Spiel mit der Spanischen Wettbewerbsstation zu kronen. Und ich gehe immer da hin, um zu sagen Hallo. Und ich singe und schaue in die Videos und schaue in den Kabinett und er war nicht da. Und das war sehr traurig für mich. Die Leute, die seinen Namen schreien, als ich meine Stimme sehr, sehr hoch schlug, waren wie Schilder. Musik

Ich habe das Lied auf dem Weg gedreht, aber es ist eine Spanisch-Version. Es ist eine der Lieder, die mich jedes Mal weint, wenn ich es singe. Gestern hat jemand für das Lied gefragt und ich habe gesungen. Und wenn ich auf meine Mutter schaue, war sie dort. Und ich habe angefangen zu weinen, weil sie Dementia hat. Es ist sehr traurig für mich, weil sie mein Nummer eins Fan ist.

Und sie weiß nicht, was los ist. Aber sie weiß nur, dass... Sie liebt es, mich zu hören, zu singen. Also habe ich gestern meinen Weg gesungen und ich habe angefangen zu weinen, weil ich mich sehr traurig fühle, meine Mutter dort zu sehen. Sie war ein Sänger, als sie jung war. Sie singt auch professionell. Und sie lebt den Traum, Mm. Mm. telling you, you have a lot of talent, mija.

You seem beautiful. People love you. I want you to be more like famous and thinking everywhere. And I want to do it because before she forgets, who am I? I'm sorry, I get very emotional when I talk about my mom's dementia. And he gets my heart. So sometimes I just want like, Mom, come on, let's sing. Because it's a therapy for her. And she loves to sing. She sings beautiful.

Ich möchte meine Musik überall auf der Welt nehmen. Mit diesem Gnx-Album von Kendrick Lamar werde ich mehr Menschen mit unserer Musik verbinden. Ich bin sehr stolz darauf. dass ich eine mexikanische Frau bin. Und im Namen meiner ganzen mexikanischen Mariachi-Freundinnen, die hier viel gearbeitet haben, versuchen wir unsere Musik mehr auf den Niveau zu nehmen. Weil wir Frauen sind.

Es ist sehr anders. Es ist sehr schwierig, eine Frau zu sein. Es gibt viel Machismo, das wir manchmal nicht lassen. Es verändert sich. Wir haben jetzt mehr Möglichkeiten. Im Namen aller meiner Freunde, Frauen, talentierte Frauen, die ich viel kenne. Im Namen von ihnen. Und ich fühle mich sehr stolz, meine mexikanische Flotte zu haben.

I've been working since I was very young. Like around 16 years old I started singing with my mom and my sister. I learned my first lessons with my mom, because she used to play guitar. And she taught me how to play guitar and sing. My abuelito, he was a singer too, my mom, my uncles, my tia, everybody, they sing. So when I was very young, little, well, my family is partly animal.

All weekends, they bring music and they start singing. So I'm always there with them, hearing my mom sing. And I was like, I want to sing too, I want to sing. Als ich von Mexiko nach Los Angeles geflogen bin, fingen wir jeden Wochenende an zu singen in verschiedenen Clubs im Süden von L.A., um Geld zu verdienen, um Geld zu zahlen, um zu essen. Das ist, was ich mache, um zu leben.

So my dad used to play baseball too with Fernando's brothers. I remember when I used to live in Sonora, when I was like around 8 years old. And when we knew that Fernando is here in Chihuahua, everybody let's go, let's go, if we can see him. And I remember Fernando used to come out in the door and he used to throw balls to us, to all the kids. We were like... Es war wie verrückt.

Oh, wir haben Fernando Valenzuela. Ich habe sehr gute Erinnerungen daran. Aber ich habe Fernando Valenzuela in Person nie gesehen. Seit etwa sieben Jahren. Sieben Jahre, weil ein anderer Freund, der mit Fernando arbeitete, Pepe Iniguez, die waren zusammen für die Radio-Station. Er hat mich eingeladen. And one time I met Pepe Iniguez in a birthday party that I went to play. They hired me.

And I'm going to introduce you to Fernando Valenzuela. And yes. He was very serious at first. He was very serious. And I told him, oh my God, I'm from Villajuarez, Sonora. My dad is Antonio Cornejo.
