Q: Hola Gina, thank you for making the time to talk with Hola Iowa! And could you tell our audience that will be checking you out for the first time this Saturday in your concert, what they can expect?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

A: Sure! I am very excited to be performing in Des Moines! I haven\u2019t been back to the area since before the pandemic, so we\u2019ve got a whole new show. I have songs from all of my records, but especially from my latest album \u2018La Que Manda\u2019 which was nominated for a Latin Grammy. Honestly, I love to take audiences on a journey. I think it\u2019s a rhythmic journey, it\u2019s a journey of the heart and I love to do everything from the heart, helping people think a little bit, but also just shaking our hips and having a good time.<\/span><\/p>

Q: Congratulations on the nomination! \u2018La Que Manda\u2019 that\u2019s your 2020 album in Spanish. Tell me how important that album has been to your fans and to your development as an artist?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

A: Great question! Yeah, I think it was really exciting to put out a record, I put it out during the pandemic and it allowed me to connect to fans at a time when we weren\u2019t even leaving our houses. So, to me the most exciting thing about \u2018La Que Manda\u2019 was digging deep, but then having that music actually connect to a larger audience, and especially all over Latino America. Spanish is not my native language. I didn\u2019t grow up speaking spanish! <\/span>Sigo aprendiendo<\/span><\/i>, you know, <\/span>me falta un mont\u00f3n<\/span><\/i>, but like I love the Spanish language<\/span> siempre me a llamado la atenci\u00f3n<\/span><\/i>. So to connect with an audience in Latino America with an album that\u2019s not in my native language and to have people resonate with that has been really awesome. It\u2019s been the most beautiful thing and of course to have a stamp of approval from the latin Grammy\u2019s is amazing!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Well, now you have that in common with Selena too because Spanish wasn\u2019t her native language.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A: \u00a1Eso!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
