Ángela Aguilar: I’m good, good to see you again. That sounds interesting. That’s new for me.
“Producer” is new for you.
“Producer” is new for me.
Yes, and we’re definitely going to talk about that. How are you doing today?
I’m excited. I’m hungry. I am ready to eat.
Yes, so we’re at El Paseo Inn restaurant in La Placita Olvera in LA. Do you have any memories of La Placita Olvera? Because I know you lived between Mexico and the US, but you were born in LA.
Yeah, I was born here. You know, I grew up here, and for me, this was a very important place that I would only take like very special people to go with me because there’s a statue of my grandfather here, and it’s right where he used to sleep on the bench when he was homeless.
No!
Yeah. So it’s very, very important to me to see how much we’ve grown and how much you know our love for Mexican music has continued to nurture different people.
And what about LA? What’s your relationship to LA now?
I was born and raised Angeleno. This is where I studied. This is where I went to school. This is, you know, the city that saw me grow up. But at the same time, it was like 50/50, so I was in Mexico 50% of the time, here 50% of the time.
Keep watching for more!
