Joining us today is artist Elsa Elmar.
00:03
Hi Elsa Hola. How are you guys?
00:08
Good, good. And you?
00:09
I am fine enjoying the Colombian sunshine because I live in Mexico
00:15
and here the sunshine is kind of like cooler,
00:19
so confused. Where are you joining us from P Cara Colombia
00:23
right now? My hometown.
00:25
Nice. Awesome. In Mexico.
00:28
You said, what did you say about Mexico?
00:30
Oh, I live in Mexico.
00:34
Pero. So in Colombiana and I lived in the US for
00:38
seven years and then I moved to Mexico but I,
00:42
I spend a lot of time here because I miss the tropics
00:46
and the water drenching my skin on the air to come here
00:53
for beauty reasons for that self care,
00:56
you know, like to reconnect.
00:59
That's awesome. Speaking of Colombia and how you've been all over
01:02
the place. Like what kind of,
01:04
what part of your culture do you hear in your music,
01:06
your style. I grew up listening to Balena Bachata and Pavarotti
01:14
Exactly. That's awesome.
01:17
And with which artist would you be your dream collab Jis would
01:21
be like a dream collab and also Juan Luis Guerra.
01:29
So romantic. It's so romantic but it's so funny.
01:36
We know you're Colombiana but you live in Mexico.
01:39
So this is a big question.
01:41
Who do you think has the best parties?
01:44
I love Mexico but it's Colombia,
01:47
Colombia, Colombia parties that turn up after a certain time the
01:52
starts and then it's like the tequila bottle comes out.
01:57
I'm always on a party,
01:58
right? And I have a question because you lived in Mexico
02:01
us and Colombia, what is,
02:03
what's like some words like cultural differences that you're like,
02:07
I can't say that in Mexico because it's taken the wrong way
02:12
Don't say in Mexico that in Colombia you like,
02:15
go ahead my water bottle,
02:18
Cojer. Cojer. Cojer and in Mexico,
02:22
you know, what is it something you do in your bedroom
02:27
or whatever you want in another go to laptop.
02:34
they would be like aqui that is true.
02:38
And I heard Tambien in other places like there's like in Argentina
02:41
too. I remember we post a lot of like Pan Dulce
02:43
and we're like, oh we love Conchas.
02:46
It's fun to learn from each other.
02:48
Was it Bich? When I heard I'm like,
02:49
wait, what did you call her?
02:50
I thought it was like,
02:51
damn a bitch. Like damn,
02:56
I know is from Rico,
02:59
which is like big bit,
03:01
you know, like it actually comes from English,
03:07
Right. Yeah. You always learn the bad word first.
03:11
I feel like from other cultures,
03:14
We want to ask them your inspiration with your music.
03:18
What was the inspiration behind your name?
03:21
And do people ever I think you're a duo instead of a
03:24
solo artist? Porque P Elsa El Mar.
03:28
My intuition was like,
03:29
go for something that feels for like a project like that includes
03:37
and my name is Margarita.
03:39
So there I was playing with my name in terms for the
03:42
inspiration, I just get so inspired,
03:45
like in terms of songwriting by life in general,
03:50
like lately for this new album that's coming out in August,
03:54
that's called Palacio. I was just so inspired on,
03:59
on life on relationships and how our life became this mix of
04:04
digital and real life and how that brings new emotions,
04:10
you know, and new concepts and new feelings.
04:15
And once the music is made,
04:17
I just feel so inspired by like giving it a shape and
04:21
seeing the videos come to life and seeing the artwork come to
04:25
life and then the show and I'm just like,
04:27
man, how can you just like have an idea and then
04:30
start to see like in the material world?
04:33
It's so crazy. I was looking through your Instagram too and
04:37
I was like, oh my gosh,
04:37
like she's super creative and vientos too because I was like,
04:43
oh my God, like everything like I'm not just saying it
04:46
because you're in front of me,
04:48
that's really cool. And but I'm glad I'm glad that
04:52
was what you took from it because because yeah,
04:57
Exactly. Well, thank you so much.

05:03

05:16

05:19

05:22

05:23
I don't have the pleasure to know her.
05:25
That's going to be the first time I meet her.
05:33
