Testing Juanes' Music Knowledge

I'm going to play you some songs, and you're going to tell me who the artist is. Okay. But before we start the music, introduce yourself. My name is Juanis, and I'm a musician from Colombia. What kind of music did you grow up listening to? Cumbia's folk music from, I would say South America and Spain maybe. And then after when I was a teenager, I get crazy with rock music, metal music. And now I listen to everything. Everything. All right, here you go. Don't make you grow! Lift up a link. Intrateration to you at all? Of course, yeah, yeah. I remember, you know, when I was 13 years old, I was listening to all this kind of music. Like, let's sample in Black Sabbath, yes, being Floyd. And I was living in Medellin, so my English was like zero. I didn't speak anything, but every time I was listening to this music, it would just take me to another, like, a beautiful place. I don't know, just get crazy with the sound of the guitars and the drums and everything. Yeah. Medellin is a beautiful place. Oh, man. So beautiful. You'll be there? Yes. Oh, fuck, yeah. That's beautiful, right? It's like, you know, racist. It's like a ball is surrounded by mountains and the people is amazing. Beautiful women's. The food is incredible. The music is. Yeah. I love my city so much. One for one. Zika destroyed. Yeah, man, I know this one so much. I know this one. Yeah. Fucking love Metallica so much. When they released the Kill Them All album, I couldn't believe it. I was like, what the fuck is this sound, man? Something that you just felt in here. Oh, my God. Yeah. I used to fight with my friends because of Metallica. Nobody can say any bad word about Metallica. I was like, sick. Sick, very sick. You know this one? Boy, burlaka. Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. He's one of a kind. He came from, like, from zero to be like the king, you know? I mean, his voice and his songwriting so special that he connected with many different generations. I have a teacher that, when you see the teacher from, from, from far, you see like Judas Priest. Yeah. You know, the same level of the rock band. But if you go closer, this is Juan Gabriel. I need that, sir. I know that there's so much. And somebody gave it to me. Yeah, I just swear it. What are you working on now? I have my new album. It's called Juan Esteban. It's my real name. And I go, you know, rock music, Cumbia, a little bit of folk from Central America, Colombia. But it's like a mix, you know? I never do like one kind of thing. I like to mix different worlds. And that's what I do, since I started my career. Okay. I got some more. Hello, Gardell. Yeah. Who's that? It was a very, very, very big singer from Argentina. And he died in an airplane crash in the imagined my city. So for that reason, I guess, the managing became like a very famous tango city. You know, we love tango music. A lot of things that come from Argentina. Is he kind of like a Frank Sinatra? Yeah, exactly. Like a very Frank Sinatra. Like Eddie Piaf, Frank Sinatra, Gardell. They used to sing like very similar, you know, same technique and such a beautiful music. What about this? Oh! This is cracking, my friend. Who's cracking? It was a heavy metal band in Medellin. And this song is like very important for us, my generation. The first show that I attend was cracking. I remember when I went to see the show. I saw this guy performing and I said, that's what I want to do. I want to do this for the rest of my life, yeah. Pito Pias. El amor después del amor, yeah. With this song came on the radio. It was like something completely new for us. Pito Pias is like one of my idols. He's an amazing songwriter, musician. He played the piano. He sings. He's like a legend for me. You have a version of that song. What about this? This also that the first time I saw, so I still wasn't in Medellin. I was back in the end of the 80s. I went to his shows and it was like a. In order to advance for us, it was far from everything. Okay, last one. Valugera. Luis is like our fifth member of the Beatles. I have him in El Trono, like the biggest artist. I grew up between metal music. And then while he was getting, I needed to go to the parties with my girlfriend. But now I am his friend and I see him as a master. And I love his music. He's the biggest artist for me. What I love about your music is it's obvious that you're a fan of music. As much as you want to make it, like you love it. Yeah, I love music so much.
