But they are disciplined. They know about our culture and its traditions. I do not know where we are headed with this current political situation, but I am happy, though, that they were born here. They have both nationalities: Colombian and American. They are learning. Two and a half years ago, with another year of doing demos, experimenting with rhythms and stuff. We finished it a year ago, came up with the idea of making it a visual album, and started the movie.
Yes, definitely, yes. The world is in a more difficult situation than ever before. The news is complicated and filled with bad energy and crazy people. Yet, I just want to give people happiness and hope. I want to be optimistic even if things aren't going well. I want to have a good time performing my music and have people have the same good time. Look, I will probably in the future return to dark lyrical themes, but for now, what I want to do is this.
I remember that when I started, I had no pressure to do anything. I had no clue what was going to happen with my career. I didn't even have a record label deal.
I made those songs experimenting with my computer, my guitar, and my melodies. It was all very innocent — and, yes, a little bit dark. It was a nice time for me. I was enjoying trying to make it happen. I had no fame. No money. Just music. I came up in Colombia with folk music, singing with my parents and sisters. There were the rhythms of tango and bolero and cumbia.
Those were my strongest influences. But when I was 13, I went crazy with rock music and became the biggest fan of Metallica, Slayer, and Sepultura. Although the album was scheduled to be released in , the pandemic changed the plans, delaying its release until It features 12 tracks that have been chosen from the heart and memory, the year-old singer says that making this album has been a way to reconnect with songs he heard in his childhood, adolescence and early artistic career before becoming a solo artist and.
In a way, it was his way of paying tribute to the artists who inspired him. For me, the origin is in the love for music instilled by my family, the appreciation for my culture and the discovery of the songs and artists that touched my soul from the beginning.

All these big songs that I grew up listening to and that the audience also knows, but that they are hearing in my own style," Juanes said. I really love this album, it's very important for me. Another highlight? Being invited by Metallica to cover "Enter the Sandman" on the metal band's "The Metallica Blacklist" compilation album.
They inspired me to play electric guitar, to be part of a rock band. So when they invited us to be part of the Blacklist album after seeing us perform 'Seek and Destroy' at a rock festival in Colombia, I just couldn't believe it.
Juanes also has his sights set on the future. After this tour, he will begin working on a new album that he hopes to release in the next several months. He says he wrote more than 40 songs during the pandemic that, much like him, he can't wait to take to the stage and perform live for his fans.
