Juan Pablo Isaza:
Hi, everybody! We are Morat, and you’re watching Billboard News.
Leila Cobo:
Morat, welcome to Billboard.
Morat:
Thank you.
Leila Cobo:
You’re finishing the stadium tour in the United States, first stadium tour.
Morat:
A lot.
Leila Cobo:
Yes it is a lot. And you’re a pop-rock group in the United States, singing in Spanish. I think the only other group who did that is Maná.
Morat:
Wow! That’s huge.
Leila Cobo:
Have you ever imagined that in an urban world, you were going to be doing this?
Morat:
It was a dream. We’ve dreamed of it. But we didn’t imagine it like that. This is our fourth tour in the United States.
Juan Pablo Isaza:
In the first one, we didn’t expect anything in particular. The mindset has always been as long as it’s in the United States, we’ll go. Anywhere.
Leila Cobo:
To a friend’s apartment.
Juan Pablo Isaza:
And it has been growing. Fortunately, this year surprised us.
Leila Cobo:
You played in Miami at the Kaseya Center, which is like “Colombia central,” right? How did it feel to go out into that stadium and see 15,000 there? It was sold out. Confess, did you cry?
Morat:
No. No, this group does not cry.
