Mexico. Natti Natasha is proud of her “two babies.” The Dominican singer released the song “Les nenes” with Farina, Cazzu and La Duraca, while she is about to become the mother of her first baby.
“I want to work harder also to break this stigma that women who are pregnant in entertainment can’t,” Natti Natasha said in an interview with The Associated Press. “None of that, that shouldn’t happen.”
For the performer, who is expecting the birth of her baby in May, “Girls” has a very appropriate female union message for March, Women’s History Month.
“This first collaboration of four women in the urban genre, together, had never been seen and being able to carry this flag to make this kind of thing happen I feel that fills me very much,” she said.
“There’s a very cool (cute) message behind it and it’s very important and it’s that we’re all one. I feel like this message needs to be repeated and said so that it also becomes normal and they don’t look weird that four girls finally they came together on one issue, “he added.
The song is perreo and “jangueo” (party) and their respective video has a homely atmosphere in which many girls dance with minishorts. In the shots you can see that the collaborators had a lot of fun during the filming in Miami, with laughs that look real, almost taken by a hidden camera. Cazzu demonstrates his skills by standing hands with a rabbit costume.
The four began working on the song remotely late last year. Farina sent his contribution from Colombia, Cazu from Argentina and La Duraca from Puerto Rico. But they managed to produce a theme that feels fluid and engaging.
“Each had their own space to express themselves as they wanted,” Natti Natasha said. “When I was able to get together with everyone it felt like that, it felt like we were joking at a real party, that’s how the video was.”
The 34-year-old singer has been very honest about the hardships she went through until she got pregnant and even the depression she felt when she couldn’t do it. Feeling that by sharing her experience she can help other women in this same situation.
“I searched so much for information on the internet,” he said. “Because they don’t give you the information right away, they just tell you ‘you can’t’ and you feel very alone.” “I felt it was very important for me to share my story with other women who are still going through this because thank God at the end of the day it didn’t go so badly for me, it went well for me and I was given the opportunity “.
After the pregnancy, she is not seen changing the course of her career. “They’re going to keep listening to Natti Natasha the same way because I’ve never been scared,” she said.
As a representative of a genre that faces criticism from people who do not reconcile the idea that female singers talk about perreo or buttocks (as in “Girls”) and at the same time seek to empower women, he ventured to share how you imagine your baby’s education.
“I want to teach her, be it a girl or a boy, to have a slightly more open mind in that aspect,” she said. “Definitely let them (the kids) decide if they like reggaeton or not.”
As the executive producer of the popular YouTube series “Braves,” she said there is no release date for a second season yet but that she is excited by people’s response.
The fiction series, also focused on women in music, follows a singer, a DJ and another friend who plays her role in the urban scene of Puerto Rico. The first episode alone garnered 4.9 million views.
For now Natti Natasha is looking forward to making a more “with my tummy” presentation and recording it to have more memories of her sweet wait.
At the El Nostre Awards, where she announced her pregnancy by posing in a two-piece white dress that left her belly exposed, she received the Tropical Song of the Year award for her collaboration with Romeo Santos “The best version of me” and sang alongside Prince Royce “Before the sun rises.”
“It was such a magical day, so beautiful so I took a liking to it,” she said.
