Speaker 2: the only, mister JK. Huda. I'm your host, Liliana Oscuez.
Speaker 1: And I'm Joseph Carrio, and this is becoming an icon.
Speaker 2: A weekly podcast where we give you the rundown on
Speaker 2: how today's most famous LATINX stars have shaped pop culture.
Speaker 1: And given the world some extra tubble.
Speaker 2: Sit back and get comfortable.
Speaker 3: Because we are going in the only way we know
Speaker 3: how with buena vis whenas risas.
Speaker 2: And a lot of opinions as we relive their greatest
Speaker 2: achievements on our journey to find out what makes them
Speaker 2: so iconic. Here today to discuss all things in Miami,
Speaker 2: including of course the music and legacy of Gloria and
Speaker 2: Emilios Stefan. We're welcoming a new guest to the Becoming
Speaker 2: an Icon crew.
Speaker 3: He is a Colombian musician, producer and singer songwriter from Barankiya.
Speaker 2: And no, he does not know Shakira. He did, though,
Speaker 2: launch his solo career in twenty seventeen and has a
Speaker 2: brand new single, El Primero Nosolvida, which is a little
Speaker 2: bit regional Mexicano, launching at the end of this month.
Speaker 2: And of course, like Joseph and I, he has a
Speaker 2: similar love and passion for all things Musika. Please give
Speaker 2: a very warm welcome to JK.
Speaker 1: Welcome JK.
Speaker 5: All right, awesome, I love that. I love that. That's
Speaker 5: a great beginning. Thank you guys for having me. Super
Speaker 5: excited to be here with you and we can talk
Speaker 5: about whatever you want.
Speaker 2: Were dating, I'm like, what are you dating? Yeah, let's
Speaker 2: get the mix. No, I promise we won't go there
Speaker 2: to the end. But what's interesting about you coming on
Speaker 2: our show is that we've interviewed a lot of journalists,
Speaker 2: a lot of podcasters. I don't think, Joseph, that we've
Speaker 2: ever had a musician come on and give their point
Speaker 2: of view on some of our icons. So this is
Speaker 2: the first for us and a real treat for our audience.
Speaker 3: And also we get to get a perspective of someone
Speaker 3: who would plan to maybe go the route of Glodia
Speaker 3: and Emilia.
Speaker 2: We don't know, it's so true, So this is gonna
Speaker 2: be really fun for us, and we want to hear
Speaker 2: all of like the inside BTS industry talk that we
Speaker 2: don't usually get because Joseph and I are just fans.
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, Like, yes, we're professionals, we're you know,
Speaker 2: he's a global makeup artist that's recognized all over the world,
Speaker 2: and like, yes, I'm an entertainment reporter, but we are
Speaker 2: just fans of music and I know you are too.
Speaker 2: So when you hear Miami Sound Machine, JK, what comes
Speaker 2: to mind?
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 5: I think that's was the one of the smartest moves
Speaker 5: that at Latino could do in the industry because they
Speaker 5: basically they took all the traditional Latin rhythms with you
Speaker 5: know that that particular sound of the eighties and nineties,
Speaker 5: and and I think that was great. They made everybody
Speaker 5: dance to our music, to our rhythm, to our percussion,
Speaker 5: to our drums.
Speaker 1: Timbali congas.
Speaker 3: Quick question for you, Kay, what was the very first
Speaker 3: song that you ever remember hearing from the Miami sound machine.
Speaker 5: You just need to you just need to hear that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that could be those like the two second music
Speaker 3: trivia and it's like you're like, I know it.
Speaker 1: Exactly, I already know. JK.
Speaker 2: What is it called when it's like just a few
Speaker 2: notes or a chord that triggers that instant recognition of
Speaker 2: a song? What do you call that?
Speaker 1: Oh? Wow?
Speaker 5: I think that's that's basically whenever a song starts, that's
Speaker 5: a hook.
Speaker 1: You know. It's like whenever hook, that's what it is.
Speaker 5: Yes, Whenever it's something that it's so that you understand
Speaker 5: you recognize the song right away, it's it's a hook.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh.
Speaker 2: Wow, because there's certain songs right that you just hear
Speaker 2: three notes of and you're like, I know what it is.
Speaker 2: I see that a lot with Taylor Swift fans like
Speaker 2: they do a lot of trivia on TikTok where they
Speaker 2: will play the first literal three notes of a Taylor
Speaker 2: Swift song and they're like, oh my gosh, that's this
Speaker 2: or that's that, and you're like, how do they know that?
Speaker 2: But when you went dunt dunt dun like instantly we
Speaker 2: all went.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And I think that that has a lot to do
Speaker 5: with the popularity of the song. You know, like it's
Speaker 5: been played so many times, you know, in this this.
Speaker 1: Many years that everybody knows the song.
Speaker 5: It's it's it's super catchy and also everybody recognized it,
Speaker 5: so it's it's impossible not to it truly is.
Speaker 2: It's one of those iconic songs, which is why Gloria
Speaker 2: and Emilio are icons to us. But how do you
Speaker 2: feel musically about Gloria Estefan and her career as a
Speaker 2: solo artist but also as a band member in the
Speaker 2: Miami Sound Machine.
Speaker 5: I think it's as I told you earlier, it's it's
Speaker 5: the smartest move. It's it was when I hear the
Speaker 5: especially the drums, you can you can feel it in
Speaker 5: the drums. It's a very uh, you know, traditional eighties
Speaker 5: sound of the pop music in that moment. But you
Speaker 5: can hear that in Balast, you can hear the congas,
Speaker 5: you can hear how the fusion was made. And I
Speaker 5: think it was, you know, very clever. And not only that,
Speaker 5: they did a lot of things. They did voletro, they
Speaker 5: did actually there's a song that they did by Yato,
Speaker 5: They had an accordion, They explored a lot of the
Speaker 5: lab in rhythms, and and they opened the door for
Speaker 5: all of us, you know, in the industry worldwide. And
Speaker 5: and I think that's we need to be thankful for
Speaker 5: them because it's you know, without them, it would be
Speaker 5: very difficult for us us to get in this industry right.
Speaker 3: Right here, So that being said, like right here, what
Speaker 3: does it mean or like what does it take to
Speaker 3: do a crossover? And is that something that do you
Speaker 3: see a lot of Latin artists doing that?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 5: I think there it's different times, right, you know, that
Speaker 5: type of music. It's it was from that moment right now,
Speaker 5: there's new fusions.
Speaker 1: You know what Bad Bonnie is doing.
Speaker 5: What other type of artists they they are inside the market.
Speaker 3: Right So actually that's kind of not even really a crossover,
Speaker 3: right because that's now. They're just kind of like Leleanna
Speaker 3: you were saying we were talking about just the other day,
Speaker 3: and it's like, that's just technically music now.
Speaker 5: Well, the thing is what I love about the music
Speaker 5: industry right now is like you don't have to be
Speaker 5: in one genre.
Speaker 1: You know, you can explore.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I see artists that they one day they release
Speaker 5: a reggaeton's song, then the other day they release a
Speaker 5: Mexicano and then you know a couple of months later
Speaker 5: they do pop and you know, Kumbia, Hey are you
Speaker 5: talking about?
Speaker 2: Yeah, is.
Speaker 1: One of them. Camillo is one of them.
Speaker 5: Camillo has done Bachat that has done Bob has done Cumbia.
Speaker 5: You know, it's like he's not afraid of doing and
Speaker 5: exploring different rhythms and genres. And I remember when I
Speaker 5: first started in this music industry, when I used to
Speaker 5: go to radio stations or stuff, they would ask me
Speaker 5: what's your genera, you know, what's what's your type of music?
Speaker 5: And I always went with Bata because I would used
Speaker 5: to do by Yinat at that moment with fusion, you know,
Speaker 5: fusion with pop.
Speaker 1: And a little bit of rock, and that was my genre.
Speaker 5: And I was like I realized that I don't need
Speaker 5: to be in only one genera. I can explore different ones.
Speaker 5: I'm a musician, you know, that's what I do. So
Speaker 5: why I don't want to get targeted, you know, in
Speaker 5: just one genre. And I think that's amazing that the
Speaker 5: industries is it's letting you do that right now.
Speaker 2: And you know, Jackie on that note, do you attribute
Speaker 2: the ease of moving cross genre to the way that
Speaker 2: audiences now hear and digest music? You know, when I
Speaker 2: was growing up in Texas in the eighties, the way
Speaker 2: I got my music was on the radio, right, And
Speaker 2: naturally radio stations have to have a genre because they
Speaker 2: have to find that audience. And so do you feel
Speaker 2: like the fact that you can access any kind of
Speaker 2: music as a listener literally on a handheld device in
Speaker 2: the palm of your hand, Like, do you think that's
Speaker 2: eliminating a lot of those barriers and boundaries that used
Speaker 2: to exist around genre of music? Like does it matter now?
Speaker 5: Oh no, definitely, definitely. It's a music industry right now.
Speaker 5: It's super fast. It's like it's quick like there, you
Speaker 5: release a song and you have two or three months
Speaker 5: minimum to release another one.
Speaker 1: It's super. You know, it goes so fast.
Speaker 5: There's so many songs releasing every day, it's crazy. So
Speaker 5: people have access to a lot of music, a lot
Speaker 5: of music. And and you know, if maybe you released
Speaker 5: reggaeton song and it didn't work, Okay, let's do bachata
Speaker 5: to see what happens, and maybe that one.
Speaker 3: And so do you already have these discs already lined up?
Speaker 3: Like I have these five songs that were going to
Speaker 3: kind of push. Are you like, wow, I was going
Speaker 3: to do bachata and these two songs didn't really hit.
Speaker 2: Could you then repackage it into bachata song and then
Speaker 2: see if you have any traction with that and then
Speaker 2: kind of follow the lead of the success or as
Speaker 2: a musician. Are you really doubling down on saying no,
Speaker 2: I am this kind of artist, right and I'm going
Speaker 2: to make this kind of music.
Speaker 5: Yes, you need to have in production like mixing or
Speaker 5: at least writing and producing the song. You know, many
Speaker 5: songs you never know, like there's always like a plan
Speaker 5: of releasing a song, you know, like like a work plan.
Speaker 5: So you know, like on February we're going to release
Speaker 5: this song, and on June this song and whatever. But
Speaker 5: I think It all depends on the on how the
Speaker 5: song goes. You know, if it's a if it's a hit,
Speaker 5: if it's something that people it's still consuming and it's working,
Speaker 5: you can extend the period of.
Speaker 1: Time a little bit more, right, you know, Okay, you know,
Speaker 1: like you can go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, juice it, bitch, juice it. I want to quickly
Speaker 2: go back because I think something that's interesting about you is,
Speaker 2: you know, you're from Brankia. You you've had success both
Speaker 2: in Latin America and the US. When Gloria and the
Speaker 2: Miami Sound Machine were first really getting traction, they were
Speaker 2: huge internationally before they were ever big in the United States.
Speaker 2: I think people think that they were just you know,
Speaker 2: they hit it big in the US and that was it. No,
Speaker 2: Like they used to play for like fifty thousand people
Speaker 2: in Cuba and then they would come back and play
Speaker 2: a wedding for two hundred people in Miami. So what
Speaker 2: is the difference would you say, of finding success in
Speaker 2: Latin America versus finding it in the United States, which
Speaker 2: is easier? Because I think people might assume, oh, it's
Speaker 2: a got to be easier in Latin America, but I
Speaker 2: don't think so. Which one do you think is easier.
Speaker 2: Is it easier to find success in Latin America or
Speaker 2: easier to find success in the States?
Speaker 1: Ooh, no, pressure. Wow, Well that's a great question. That's
Speaker 1: a great question.
Speaker 5: And I don't think nobody has the answer because the
Speaker 5: music it's it's I don't think anybody has the secret
Speaker 5: of success in music.
Speaker 1: Every case it's different, right.
Speaker 5: What I think is if you live in the US,
Speaker 5: whenever you go to Latin America, it's easier.
Speaker 1: Because you live you are considered an international artist.
Speaker 5: For example, when I used to live in Columbia, you know,
Speaker 5: I did a lot of stuff. I worked with the
Speaker 5: with Carlos Beave's band for two years. You know, I
Speaker 5: was doing great, But at the same time, I don't know,
Speaker 5: there was like a roof for me. I felt that.
Speaker 5: That's why I came to the US. And every time
Speaker 5: I go to perform or to do you know, recording
Speaker 5: sessions or whatever in Columbia, you know, people see you
Speaker 5: different and for some reason they respect you more.
Speaker 1: That's my opinion. Yeah, and maybe.
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe if you leave here and you go to
Speaker 5: the to Latin America, I think it's a little bit easier.
Speaker 1: You know, US market it's it's always you know, it's it's.
Speaker 5: Bigger, it's there's more competition, and obviously it's expensive. It's
Speaker 5: more expensive than that in America. So you know, with
Speaker 5: that point of view, I believe if you live here, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's I think it's a little bit easier, at least
Speaker 5: morney wise, to invest in Latin America.
Speaker 2: Interesting. I think taking it back to Gloria and Emilio,
Speaker 2: I think something that they've done is really make those
Speaker 2: avenues and that runway more accessible for Latin musicians. You know,
Speaker 2: when we think about Ricky Martin and we think about Shakida,
Speaker 2: you know, the Stephans were an integral part of their
Speaker 2: quote unquote crossover. Thankfully, I don't think we're going to
Speaker 2: need those crossovers going forward. We've seen, you know, artists
Speaker 2: like a Bad Bunny or like a Carol g really
Speaker 2: break down those barriers and do it on their own,
Speaker 2: on their own terms, without having to do an English
Speaker 2: version of a song. Like Bad Money hasn't done a
Speaker 2: song in English. He doesn't have to, right, But back
Speaker 2: in the nineties or in the early two thousands, Shakira did.
Speaker 2: She had to sing in English. So how do you
Speaker 2: think the Stephans, Like, why do you think it's been
Speaker 2: so important for them and their identity in the music
Speaker 2: industry to help other Latin artists.
Speaker 5: Well, it's it's very interesting what you said about about
Speaker 5: the language. And I think it's very interesting that right
Speaker 5: now you don't have to sing in English in order
Speaker 5: to to you know, make a hit globally. And and
Speaker 5: the reason for for that, I think it's that it's
Speaker 5: the rhythm. Like people nowadays, they they just want to dance.
Speaker 5: They just want to you know, anything and that comes
Speaker 5: and that comes with you know, and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: Like people they don't know what they are saying, and
Speaker 5: but they don't care. They just want to have danced.
Speaker 5: They just the beat and the and the rhythm. It's
Speaker 5: so contagious that they they don't care, you know, they
Speaker 5: just dance. And you see it like when you go
Speaker 5: to Europe, when you go to Turkey and they are
Speaker 5: listening to reggaetono or Latin music in the clubs.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. You never saw that before.
Speaker 5: But with the Stephans, the point that we are in
Speaker 5: right now, it's because of them, because they they sang
Speaker 5: in English right with Latin really crazy, so they introduced
Speaker 5: the Latin rhythms to other cultures, to other people in
Speaker 5: the US, in the in you know, worldwide. So that
Speaker 5: opened a path, a very huge path for for all
Speaker 5: Latin artists. So yeah, definitely they had all to do.
Speaker 5: They are fathers of the Latin music, for sure.
Speaker 2: They're patrinos the music nostalos exactly.
Speaker 3: Literally, hold on, I just have to change the subject
Speaker 3: because this is very who I am. So you live
Speaker 3: in Miami, have you been to Larios on the Beach
Speaker 3: where Tillarios on the Beach?
Speaker 1: Never been there?
Speaker 2: For those of you listening that are like, what the
Speaker 2: hell is Latios? You know, Joseph loves to eat. He
Speaker 2: loves loves some food, and he loves some Latin food.
Speaker 2: So if there is a restaurant that he knows about,
Speaker 2: he's going to ask you if he's been. It's Latios
Speaker 2: on the Beach. Is their restaurant that they opened? I
Speaker 2: think back in the nineties, maybe in the early two thousands.
Speaker 2: Have you ever been? And is what he wants to know?
Speaker 2: And will you take him there?
Speaker 1: You know, when I'm there, you have to take me
Speaker 1: there at least. But whenever you come, yo, let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's go. I'll take you to the place. Deal, deal,
Speaker 1: my friend.
Speaker 2: I want to go back to a few Gloria songs.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of really good ones as a musician,
Speaker 2: which is the most difficult of Gloria's songs to sing?
Speaker 2: And have you ever sang any of them?
Speaker 1: Wow? Okay, that's a very tricky question.
Speaker 2: Like you've never done a version of Mithierira anything from there?
Speaker 5: Well, I've done it, I've done it. But as a
Speaker 5: male singer, of course, depending on your vocal range, you
Speaker 5: could hit or not hit the notes, the higher notes,
Speaker 5: so it's very difficult for me to to answer that
Speaker 5: as a male singer.
Speaker 1: But definitely, I think any.
Speaker 5: Of the sounds from Miami Song Machine they are very
Speaker 5: well elaborated vocally, so but you know, they have boletos,
Speaker 5: they have the car, you know, you know, it all
Speaker 5: depends on the on the range.
Speaker 3: Hello, Okay, I'm never fucking singing again on this podcast.
Speaker 1: Thank you, JK.
Speaker 3: You have ruined everything for me. I'm trying to get
Speaker 3: a fucking deal here and here you are releas singing.
Speaker 3: So I'm al goodbye leaving JK.
Speaker 2: Welcome to becoming an icon, your MYNY co host.
Speaker 1: I love it. That was amazing.
Speaker 2: That was amazing. Thank you for blessing our ears with
Speaker 2: that sound. Of course, now you were talking a little
Speaker 2: bit about the songs, and you know people always think
Speaker 2: of Gonga. I always go to the rhythm is Gonna
Speaker 2: get you, get on your feet, or even one of
Speaker 2: the ogs, which is doctor Bat. It's the campiest video
Speaker 2: I think ever made in the history of music videos.
Speaker 2: It's worth watch if you have not seen it. If
Speaker 2: you had to rank those four songs, Joseph, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: let you go first. So here are the songs, Gonga,
Speaker 2: doctor Beat, Rhythm is Gonna get you and get on
Speaker 2: your feet. Rank them like.
Speaker 3: Number one being my favorite, right m m yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna say the rhythm is gonna get you
Speaker 3: number one, mm hmm, Gonga, number two, Doctor Beat, number three,
Speaker 3: Get on your Feet, number.
Speaker 2: Four, Wow, Okay, rhythm is gonna get you coming in
Speaker 2: at number one and strong For Joseph, JK, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: ask you the same question.

Speaker 5: Basically, I'm gonna go with the same order as Joseph,
Speaker 5: but I will change. I will switch Conga for Rhythm
Speaker 5: is gonna get you for sure. Conga's being conga being
Speaker 5: as the number one like it.
Speaker 2: I'm going to mix the whole thing up. Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go get on your feet number one, Wow, Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: Bung got two Okay, Rhythm is gonna get you three,
Speaker 2: doctor bat four, get on your feet. It's like I
Speaker 2: always think, anytime you can make the declaration and the
Speaker 2: call to action in the title of the song, that's
Speaker 2: a winner for me. There's no confusion there.
Speaker 1: Okay, It's just kind of like this is it all right? Now?
Speaker 2: Who's ready for a little trivia? I am okay, Joseph
Speaker 2: and JK. Are you guys ready to battle?
Speaker 1: We are ready?
Speaker 2: All right, guys, you're gonna have to buzz in just

Speaker 2: ones with Miami Sound Machine. Is it ten, twenty or thirty?
Speaker 1: You go first, ak, I will go with twenty. Joseph,

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, thirty. I would say thirty.
Speaker 2: You're right, thirty albums during her entire career.

Speaker 5: music in the US and in the world. And I
Speaker 5: think they are going to keep helping a lot of
Speaker 5: new talent, and I mean, I hope, and they've been
Speaker 5: doing that, and I think they're that's their passion and
Speaker 5: they're going to do it until they die.
