Griselda Flores caught up with El Malilla at Suenos Festival, and he defines “Mexican Reggaeton,” discusses his dream of touring the U.S. and more!
El Malilla:
The special case with Mexican reggaeton is that – Hey, how’s it going, everyone? I’m El Malilla, and this is Billboard, VIP Access.
Griselda Flores:
We’re with El Malilla at Sueños, here in Chicago. Welcome.
El Malilla:
We’re at the Sueños Festival in Chicago and I’m really excited because it’s the fifth time we’ve sung in the United States and the first time we’ve sung here in Chicago, and I saw a lot of people picking up on my songs, singing along. So there’s something inside me that I’d like to go on tour, but not just at a festival, and I’d like to be at venues for these fans who are there.
Of course.
And not just for 20 minutes.
I was just about to ask you that. You sang at Coachella and now Sueños. What do you hope for it, to turn into a tour?
Yes, I would like to work on that. I would like to visit cities in the United States where people know us and also where they don’t, since I started planting the seed for the Malilla project, which was a great project that I really liked. I sing reggaeton. Mexican reggaeton. Mexican reggaeton. I am Mexican and I sing reggaeton.
Keep watching for more!
