Luis R Conríquez answers some questions during his Billboard cover shoot, including how his “Siempre Pendientes” with Peso Pluma came about and how the performance of “Martes 13” with Canelo came to life.
Luis R Conriquez:
Hi! I am your friend Luis R Conriquez, and I’m gonna be fishing answers with Billboard. Ideal vacation spot and why? I really like going to Puerto Vallarta, it’s calm. Going to the beach. I go on the yacht. I go to have dinner at a chill place, and I like the view of the hills, it’s very calm and chill. What was it like to sing “Martes 13” with Canelo Alvarez and how did that come about? This corrido was made after everything that was said in the previous fight of my friend Canelo. I was at the after party and we had met there, we hanged out and sang some songs, and the friendship continued. And he said to me, “You’re going to sing at my fight next year.” And I told him, “Okay, I’ll make a corrido for you. A good corrido for you.” We started working on it and released “Martes 13” with violin and everything. It was his most bélico exit, he says. So, Viva the Mexicans. Let’s see what’s next. Where do I see myself in 5 years? Well, over there in Paris, right? In Paris, buying some Louis Vuitton. What’s your dream collaboration? The truth is I don’t have any collaboration that I say, “Oh, I would like to do this.” I feel I admire all the artists I’ve recorded with. And if there is anyone who I feel I would like to… I greatly admire Marco Antonio Solís, and I really like his music, but I don’t see myself singing a song with him.
