00:00Hello, hello!
00:02Hola, como estas?
00:03Oh, nice Spanish!

00:06A poco, mucho, bueno, mexicana.
00:08Okay, bueno.
00:09Si, si.

00:13so how does it feel to be recognized tonight?
00:15It feels amazing, you know, being the only Latina here tonight,
00:18getting honored is such an honor, and I'm so excited to be here,
00:21and I admire so many of the women here, so it's going to be a great night.
00:24Absolutely, y eres de una familia de muchos musicos,
00:28así que háblame sobre la influencia que tuvo tu papá y abuelo en tu desarrollo como artista.
00:33Yo creo que me regresaron y me trajeron el orgullo de la música mexicana,
00:38de traer un buen mariachi, de sentirte acompañada de tanta tradición,
00:41y pues es justamente lo que voy a hacer esta noche.
00:43Bueno, I know that you've been having a very good career so far,
00:47and I wish you luck for the rest of your career and your journeys.
00:50And I mean, I've got to talk to you, you're about to perform some shows,
00:53a whole family affair, with your father, with your brother, with everyone.
00:56How does that feel, coming together and keeping that grounding within your family?
00:59It feels amazing, you know, we've been doing four or five years of a horse show,
01:03right now singing Mexican music on top of horses and dancing with them,
01:06but right now we're going to be at the Hollywood Bowl with La Mel,
01:09so it's going to be an orchestrated Mexican music show, it's going to be amazing.
01:12Oh my gosh, well I can't wait, I love that type of thing, and I'm so excited,
01:16and I love when talented families uplift each other in that way.
01:20I know, I just saw Gracie and I was just like, oh my god, so cool,
01:25it's so cool to be here, so cool to be surrounded by so much family love,
01:29and so many people getting their light shined on them today.
01:32Right, absolutely, and fun fact guys, this is something that I read and I heard,
01:36so you can let me know if I'm wrong here,
01:38but I heard that you actually made your debut when you were three years old
01:41in front of 80,000 people, 80,000 people guys, that's a lot of people.
01:45It's a lot of people, it's a lot of people, and it was great,
01:48it was with my grandparents, and after that I just kind of fell in love,
01:51and my first album came out when I was eight.
01:54Yeah, and it seems like this has always been your destiny,
01:56you definitely manifested this.
01:58Thank you so much, well I feel like you're the same,
02:00since you were so young you were doing this, so I think it's in your blood.
