The journalist Jordi Ãvole has shared a supposed frustrated interview or what could be an ingenious marketing strategy with the Canarian artist Quevedo on his program Lo de Ãvole. "There are always things left in the inkwell," he pointed out in the publication he shared on social media.
In the video, which lasts thirty minutes, the interviewer visits municipalities such as Las Palmas de Gran Canaria or Agaete, speaking with the local population and asking if the new album of the urban music singer had been leaked.
Recording of Quevedo with Elvis Crespo
It is not approximately until the middle of the video shared by the Catalan journalist when Quevedo appears on stage. During his conversation with the presenter of Sexta, the Canarian confessed that "obviously, he did not want" it to be known that the artist Elvis Crespo was going to collaborate with him, but he has acknowledged that it was inevitable.
As La Voz exclusively anticipated, the Gran Canarian was a few weeks ago on the island of La Graciosa recording with the person responsible for hits like Suavemente, fueling rumors of a possible collaboration on his next album.
During the interview shared on social media, Quevedo has also confessed that, after his hiatus in 2024 due to mental health, he has now been "getting used to this world", although he never "has been a person born for the spotlight".
At the beginning of the interview, the Catalan journalist questioned the Canarian about the relationship of the islanders with the peninsulars and the use of the term godo in the islands, a derogatory way of referring to a type of peninsular. During his response, Quevedo has indicated that he does not like to "create an enmity with the peninsulars", that he prefers to differentiate it between "people who respect things and people who don't" and that calling or not calling a peninsular godo depends on the attitude with which they arrive at the islands.
From the goat to the baifo
Quevedo explained that the name of his next album will be El Baifo, as he had already hinted on social media and confirmed on a banner he hung from a building in a central street of Madrid just a few weeks ago.
The Canarian indicated that choosing the name of El Baifo is a way to bring towards the Canarian dialect the term GOAT (The greatest of all time, in English), which has become popular on social media, and which in Spanish means goat. In football, this term is usually used to refer to athletes like Leo Messi or artists like Bad Bunny in the world of music.
In the recording, Quevedo was reluctant to talk about the possible leak of his upcoming album. "Many things happening at once, we are very close to the launch," highlighted the urban music artist. At that moment, someone from Quevedo's team intervened in the conversation and stated that they had clarified with the interviewer before the interview that they would not talk about that topic. "He is nervous, we talked about it before and said it was better not to," indicated someone from the Canarian's team. "No one has told me that openly," Ãvole retorted.
Quevedo already said that his album El Baifo, was already finished and that it would be released soon.
