Anuel and Ozuna strengthen their brotherhood with the album “Los Dioses”

Rumors of rivalry or distance between the urban exponents Ozuna and Anuel AA have spread in the media and on social networks on several occasions. However, the bond that stems from their friendship has not only proven stronger over the years, but has made them complicit in musical projects that they enjoy beyond the ambition for fame or success.

Indeed, today they are releasing the album The godsAn initiative that fills them with joy when they revisit the experience of the collaboration, but this time mainly for a joint record production.

“A brother’s friendship is appreciated,” city interpreter Anuel AA told Primera Hora in a telephone interview from Miami, Florida, accompanied by “bright-eyed El Negrito”. He said in passing that while there may be disagreements between the two, the weight of friendship will always prevail in its expression.

“We don’t see ourselves as colleagues, but as brothers. That’s why when differences arise, I see it as when a brother of yours gives you advice, which is for the better. That’s why it flows so easily. “

His friend shared the same impression. “If people start to sow hostility or war (between us), we won’t like it,” Ozuna said emphatically. “When Anuel and I have differences, we often don’t say it and people don’t even realize it because we’re brothers and brothers fight and then they hug each other. We are not disrespectful and do not throw in the networks. The disrespect we have seen in many colleagues on social networks will never happen to us. We have always been like this since day one ”.

The sense of camaraderie during the conversation confirmed the chemistry they showed so much even on stage. In turn, support in times of ups and downs has also been built over the years through the different moments collected The gods the documentary, which premiered Wednesday night as an introduction to the album’s release.

Very earthy

When talking about the title of the album, both stated that it is a distinction created by the fans, stressing that it is not the intention to show off as although they are flattered that their audience attributes them as’ gods’ in their music genre. , they are shown with their feet firmly on the ground.

“There is only one God,” said Emmanuel Gazmey. “But respect is deserved and whoever thinks we are the gods in music is respect, and that’s what we mean,” said the famous Ragman. Ozuna went into the decision, which he was a bit skeptical about at first.

‘I didn’t like the name at first. I’ve always told Anuel. It was the same fans who put the name in it, not because we think of ourselves as gods or something, but because people have seen the work we’ve been doing since day one. People have seen how we have worked together. How we got work, which was not easy. It’s been uphill. Nobody helped us. From day one we lunged ourselves ”, he emphasized.

“The new generation has more options to arrive faster. We did not have that option. People saw how we were working, how we did it ourselves and how we supported each other, ”he explained about the trajectory of both. “Based on us, a new generation was born, and the fans started to say ‘you are the gods for this, for the other’, and when I saw the fans give us that name, that’s why we took it and decided to so to speak “.

The record production, which is considering releasing a video for each song, presents their voices in different rhythms.

“We have Ammunition, which is a problem with many Mexican mergers, ”said Ozuna. “This is an album with a very varied rhythm. We have a little bit of everything. We have a street trap, a commercial trap, reggaeton for the disco, a ballad. We wanted to give the audience what it really deserves, and show that when Anuel and Ozuna start making songs, they are versatile in all styles, ”added the voice of Escape with me, Crazy thing and Candy. In turn, he shared some of the dynamics in the process.

“In many of the parts of Anuel’s songs I was there with him, and in the parts of mine he was in the booth, always wanting everything to go well and, in equal measure, always everyone who led his line, that respected. We liked 30 songs, but we really chose this one (12) because we think and know it’s the best choice ”.

The topic is under promotion Before, with significance of great value to both, Ozuna said.

“This pandemic (as a result of COVID-19) has not left us a good memory of good times and we wanted to bring it up in this video, on this topic, which is commemorating those disco times, when we party, if we could hug the fans, be with the other people at the disco and have to be with this estrangement. We want to give you that flash black to people when this topic comes up. “

Anuel also revealed some of the nostalgia in this goal. “We wanted to bring those memories to people because we don’t know when it will be the same again.”

The desire to continue to work together is getting stronger.

“We are thirsty to do a lot of great things,” said Ozuna. “The documentary opened us up for making a film. Besides these, we have many projects on the table ”.

Not for everyone

Both celebrate their place in the music world, but both are aware of the complex side of fame. In this sense, Anuel caused a stir among his fans last November when he shared reports suggesting that he is considering retiring.

“Fame is not for everyone,” confessed the head of hits like She wants to drink China and Secret. “You have to be mentally strong. We are mentally strong, and sometimes with so much work that one has, sometimes one doesn’t even have inner peace, ”he stated. “Sometimes it is good to take up that space, that loneliness, to distance yourself from everything and to feed the soul a little with the family, with our loved ones. It’s something that happens to all famous people. I don’t know of one that hasn’t happened to him ”.
