People know Jalisco for what it gives the world music,
00:11
culture, tequila. Becky,
00:13
where are we at right now?
00:14
We're not on set technically we are,
00:16
but I'm home, which is crazy.
00:18
We're in Jalisco right now,
00:21
and I'm,
00:22
I'm so happy to be here.
00:23
Like you said, at the heart of the reason we're all
00:25
here today is Jalisco,
00:28
where your beloved grandparents,
00:30
abuelitos are all from.
00:33
What has it meant for you to return to your roots and
00:35
be a part of something that's directly supporting families here?
00:38
I mean, where do I begin?
00:39
I feel like it's just alignment,
00:42
you know, if there's one thing for me that I know
00:44
for sure is that the pride that I have of this,
00:47
you know, sangre that runs through my veins is so present
00:49
and when you have such a strong connection to,
00:53
for me at least,
00:54
to somewhere like Jalisco,
00:55
although I wasn't born and raised here,
00:58
coming and visiting with my abuelitos growing up all the.
01:01
Time doing so much work here now collaborating with,
01:04
you know, my amazing familia de patron which we both have
01:07
Jalisco in common. It's just,
01:08
it's, it's beautiful synergy and growing up visiting with your abuelitos
01:12
do you have a specific memory that always replays when you
01:14
land back home? Oh,
01:16
that's a great question.
01:17
Honestly, La Naesa for me here is just everything the mountains
01:21
especially El Valle de Jalisco.
01:22
It's just like there's,
01:24
it just goes on and on and on forever and seeing all
01:27
of the little animals.
01:29
I love the vacas,
01:30
the chickens, everything.
01:31
It's so cute. Even the dogs that are running around lights
01:34
running around, or a la cienda,
01:36
the birds are chirping.
01:37
It feels magical because your abuelitos are,
01:39
are from here. I wanted to ask,
01:41
what's the most special thing ir abuelos have taught you and shaped
01:45
this moment in your career?
01:47
My pride and where I come from,
01:49
I, I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't
01:51
for them. My story technically starts here,
01:54
you know, which is why I feel so proud to be
01:56
here and. To be a part of this collaboration with Patron
01:59
and Isla Urbana, I think it's,
02:00
it's just the perfect alignment for me and that pride but also
02:06
it's, it's one of those things where you know when you
02:08
like can't find the words,
02:10
it almost makes you emotional.
02:11
That's how I felt when when we got here and getting to
02:14
be with the people and and meet everyone it's,
02:16
it's so inspiring. This region gives so much to the world
02:20
and yet for so many reliable access to clean water is still
02:24
uncertain. Migran Amor with Carlos Santana spinning in the name of
02:30
Chirla and your latest Rainwater project limited edition Patron Silver benefiting Isla
02:36
Urbana. Advocacy has been a consistent thread throughout your career.
02:41
How has your relationship with advocacy evolved as your platform and influence
02:46
continue to grow? You know,
02:47
I feel really blessed that The more successful I've been in my
02:52
career, the louder I feel my voice has grown in these
02:56
spaces and I you know have seen sometimes the opposite happen for
03:01
others because it can feel so intimidating sometimes and you can have
03:04
fear about not saying the right thing or I I but it
03:07
really in reality to me it's so small it starts with us
03:10
it starts at home and for me.
03:12
This is home and it starts within our four walls and taking
03:15
care of each other and taking care of community and I think
03:18
it's one thing to tell people how proud you are but
03:20
it's another thing to show them and I was so excited to
03:22
show them with our limited edition collection we have a beautiful bottle
03:26
that I got to help design and then we also have the
03:29
limited edition tin that has our OG patron silver which is
03:33
just a little extra touch.
03:36
We are helping transform rain into clean,
03:39
reliable water. We capture water that falls on the rooftop,
03:43
filter that water, and store it in a tank to be
03:46
used throughout the year in the household.
03:48
200 rain harvesting systems will be installed thanks to the Patron Rainwater
03:53
Project Limited Edition silver partnership.
03:56
What is the impact of the work of this collaboration?
04:00
Yeah, it's such an amazing project we're gonna be providing this
04:04
extra source of water,
04:05
a huge tank of water right next to their household that's gonna
04:09
be filling up every night when it rains,
04:11
and they're gonna be able to use that water for other domestic
04:14
uses and so they're gonna have this resiliency to the water crisis
04:19
For those who may be unfamiliar with this area,
04:22
when does that rain season typically last?
04:25
So it's starting now,
04:27
end of middle of June,
04:29
more or less it'll be starting and it ends at the end
04:33
of October, more or less.
04:34
Half of our work is installing the technology and making sure that
04:38
it's working properly and providing clean water to the families.
04:42
The other half of our work is the social implementation process which
04:47
you know,
04:48
we. Work very closely with the families from before they receive
04:51
their system during their installation,
04:54
and after they receive their system to make sure that they understand
04:58
how to properly use and maintain it,
05:01
and they adopt the system for generations to come.
05:04
Water changes everything, so to me this project,
05:08
the tin and limited edition bottle,
05:10
represents the power of rain.
05:13
And the people that carry our heritage forward because every drop carries
05:17
possibility for Jalisco and the people who call it home.
05:20
I feel like the fact that I've been.
05:24
In partnership with Patron for so long now,
05:27
I hope my fans understand that this is a true team coming
05:30
together to make things happen and to be able to expand on
05:33
that partnership into something that now is giving back to Jalisco for
05:37
me brings me great pride,
05:38
and I know for them as well,
05:39
honestly, like I stand on that still cheers to that Pariba
05:45
