connection follow god heart inside personal religion respect
I respect religion in general. I respect a lot, but I don't follow any religion. You know, I just follow my personal connection with God. For me, God is inside my heart and is inside everyone's heart.
couple good great record sing
Sometimes when I have an idea, and I say, 'Okay, let's - it will be great, maybe, if I sing in English, a couple of songs.' Now, the record company and everybody's like, 'No way, you have to sing in Spanish.' And that's, you know, really good for me.
catholic family great life respect
I have great respect for Catholic traditions; my family is Catholic, and it's part of my life.
dream country fighting
I'm not more than a musician that enjoys what he does and a Colombian that dreams and fights for peace in his country.
balance work-family parts-of-life
You have to learn to balance work, family, a personal life; it is a part of life.
dream thinking roots
Singing in Spanish is much more honest, much closer to my roots. For me, Spanish is essential. I still think in Spanish, dream in Spanish. It's the melodies and arrangements that transmit meaning.
powerful things-in-life way
Music is a really powerful way for me to catalyze all kinds of things. It's always been the cure. Through music, I've healed all the wounds I've had and celebrated all the good things in life. Through music, I turn things, good or bad, into energy.
latin bob legends
Joaquin Sabina is one of my favorites. He's like a legend. He's like our Bob Dylan, or our Bruce Springsteen. He's one of the most talented writers of our Latin music.
writing guitar use
Always when I write my music, I take my guitar, and I improvise always with a melody, you know, lyrics in Spanish. But sometimes I use some words in English. I don't know why. Maybe because I listen to a lot of music in English.
talking light energy
When I talk about God, I'm not necessarily talking about religion. To me, God is the energy and light that each of us carries.
catholic dinner rosary
I come from a very, very Catholic family. We used to pray the rosary every day after dinner.
powerful believe love-is
I believe love is the most powerful energy we have in this life. Everything is about love.
opportunity artist media
Social media and music in general have been changing so fast. You can go on Twitter and go from one artist to another. What I really like about it is the opportunity to communicate directly with your fans.
hands guitar way
I always travel with my guitar. I take it myself - with me in my hand. I don't like to send it by cargo because it's dangerous. There is no way I would do that.
