Chayanne's Frisky Interview on Al Rojo Vivo (Translation)

Chayanne always gives great interviews! I know this one is a few days old, but I heard that it was just toooo adorable to pass up. It's not often we get to see Chayanne as his frisky and playful best! You know...Tengo un cariño personal en mi corazón por un hombre que le gusta el chocolate negro ... que tiene que el chocolate oscuro derecho ... es muy intenso ..... hay que amor! LOL

Ok Chayanne, people are asking how hot is the concert that you will be giving us this weekend, especially since its Valentine’s Day.

Chayanne:  It’s going to be on fire!

So, what can the fans and the ladies expect?

Chayanne:  It’s going to be on fire because I always perform with my heart in my hand, especially in my country that the people here know me since the very beginning,  all that’s happened so far, it’s almost like I am thanking them for always being there.  The songs from the new album, No Hay Imposibles, and I named it that because we have to fight in life, and get up every time we fall.  The songs that the fans have placed in the top spots, like “Dejaria Todo” ( I would leave everything), they identify with them and some might say that they remember exactly where they were when they heard the song, Tiempo De Vals (Time for Waltz) they might have danced it on their sweet sixteen.  And I am going to be with my heart in my hand and very happy to be in my country.

We have to fight for love right?

Chayanne:  Yes, we have to fight for love and you have to nurture your relationship so it could blossom.  Because for example in my profession, just because one of your albums is a hit doesn’t mean that the next one will be too.  You have to see it like it was your first time and you have to dedicate yourself, and always work hard.

So can the ladies expect sensual movements by Chayanne?

Chayanne:  There is going to be a little bit of everything, it’s going to be very nice and the show will have a lot of energy.  Being from here, I have added more things to my show.  I want to do a tribute to the music of my country; I have more musicians, more dancers, more scenery, and more lights, more everything. 

So we should expect something different and will you be closer to your fans?

Chayanne:  Of course I will be closer to my fans, and not only that, this is the first time that I am going to perform in the Jose Miguel Agrelot venue, the other places I’ve performed have been great but this one is going to be special.   I just hope that the public has fun, that they sing and dance, and that they get each other up from the chairs.  I want them to do what they feel.

Since we warned you before the interview, we are going to ask you some hot and steamy questions, inspired in the theme of Valentine’s Day.

Chayanne:  Oh oh, so this is just the beginning (laughs)

Does Chayanne sleep with clothes on or like Adam?

Chayanne:  I have always supported Adam, before the apple that is (laughs)

What is Chayanne’s favorite time to make love?

Chayanne:  There is no schedule; you do it when you feel it, when the sentiment is there, without conditions.

What inspires you to be romantic?

Chayanne:  I get inspired by what I have in front of me (laughs), inspired by life, by beautiful things, by tranquility, by love, by spontaneity.  That’s what inspires me; I have to be relaxed, without conditions. 

Your fans would like to know if you are going to do another sexy layout like the one you did for Playgirl years back.

Chayanne:  (Laughing and pointing his finger at the interviewer) No, that time I did it more for publicity, because that magazine was going to be featured in Japan and pretty much all over the world.  It was more for the (pauses and says) see how I get (laughs).  I was wearing a bathing suit, they asked me to pose nude but I am very shy. 

No one has forgotten that yellow swimsuit!

Chayanne:  (laughing) No one has forgotten it, you are killing me, and did you see it?

I have to be honest and tell you that I did see it, that one and the one with the pillow and the one of you on the beach too.

Chayanne:  We did the pictures, and they came out good.  They were taken in the beautiful island of Jamaica.  But I don’t think I could ever pose nude, I don’t think so.

Everyone says that the older you get, the better you look.

Chayanne:  Well thank you, of course with clothes on.

Well, maybe if you take new pictures we can then be the judges of that.

Chayanne:  So you will judge huh (laughs)

Ok, here is the last of the steamy questions, please take the question out of this beautiful arrangement made just for you.

Chayanne:  So pretty, perfect for Valentine’s Day, and remember one of the reasons we are doing the concerts now is to celebrate Valentine’s Day.  Ok, it says, do you consider yourself, wait to I read it?

Yes, of course

Chayanne:  (reading the question) Do you consider yourself a hot, steamy lover in your private life?

And Chayanne responds…

Chayanne: (Picking up petals from the vase and throwing them up in the air) I respond like this (laughs) Let me pick them up, one by one (laughs). 

Do you enjoy passion and seduction?

Chayanne:  Yes I like it, I can’t deny it.  And I think that when you are comfortable and you feel love it’s when you enjoy it the most!  Therefore…turn off the cameras (laughs)

Ok, let’s change the subject, you’ve been traveling the world since you are ten years old, is there anything from your childhood that you never got to do, that you know want to do with your own children?

Chayanne:  I have lived my life intensively.  I have taken advantage of the time I’ve lived both in my personal as in my professional life, so I think I have given them all I could in the time that I spend with them,  in certain places, and we have lived very beautiful moments.  Life goes on and I will continue to feed my relationship because family is the most beautiful thing in the world.  And of course I am very proud of my children as they are very noble and I am very happy with the beautiful gifts that life has given me. 

Do you think of having any more children?

Chayanne:  We have beautiful things prepared for the show (Chayanne laughs and jokes as he started talking about something else and didn’t answer the question).  No, the idea is never discarded, but we don’t have any plans to have more children.

So your last concert is on Sunday, February 13^th and Valentine’s Day is the following day on the 14^th.  Is Chayanne prepared and will he have any energy left?

Chayanne:  I always have energy when it comes to that (laughs) I am referring to the concerts.  No, there is always energy and a lot of love.  I am a traditional kind of guy, and some traditions I celebrate more than others, for example the Christmas tradition I live intensely, and of course Valentine’s day too, I love to eat with my family, it’s another opportunity to be with the ones you loved, but Valentine’s day is every day.  But we always try to be together, eat together, call our loved ones, and remember all the good times, because we are always looking for moments full of happiness every chance we get.  We are going to be together and we are going to have a great time.  You know the flowers, eating together, the chocolates.

Do you like chocolate?

Chayanne:  I love chocolate!  I give chocolate and if they don’t eat it, then I will.

Do you like milk or dark chocolate?

Chayanne:  Dark, intense, that it tastes truly like chocolate.

Finally, can you send a message to your fans that are watching?

Chayanne:  To all the people that are watching, thank you for your love, I am very happy to be here in Puerto Rico.  I always have my heart on my hand, whether it’s on the month of love and friendship, in a concert, or if we ever run into each other somewhere.  I am always thankful for the smiles I receive.

I forgot to ask you something, while you travel the world, how do you feel when you come across child abuse or abuse to women?

Chayanne:  That makes me very sad and I feel as if there is nothing I can do because I am merely a little grain of sand.  But I always say that there should be peace, tranquility, harmony, dialogue that by talking a solution can always be reached.  There are no impossibles and we have to be tolerant and we have to talk.  Conversation is the best weapon that can have. 

Thank you Chayanne!

Chayanne: You are welcome

Chayanne Anxious to Celebrate Christmas in Puerto Rico

Please enjoy the translation to this article from El Nuevo Dia.


Anxious to celebrate Christmas here

After 8 months of touring, the artist cannot wait to arrive at the island and see his family.
By María Ivette Vega Calles / mvega@elnuevodia.com

For the last eight months, Chayanne has tasted many emotions each time he takes the stage in a different city as part of his “No Hay Imposibles” tour.

But the artist assures us that now at Christmas time, he feels more jittery to come to Puerto Rico to celebrate with his family.

“On Saturday I finished the tour in Houston, Texas.  Now I am in the office working out a few things for next year.  I am happy, ready for Christmas and leaving to Puerto Rico.  You have no idea how I await the moment.  I enjoy my career, the shows, but when I spend months without seeing my family, my parents, I want to go.  Then the emotion begins to grab me and I am already at that stage.  I have a couple of more weeks in Miami and then I am going there with the same illusion of every year when this time arrives”, said the artist via a telephone interview.
Enthusiasm adds to the illusion and at the same time the nervous feeling that he feels with the approaching of his first show at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico Jose Miguel Agrelot, on the 11th and 12th of February 2011.

“I am going to Puerto Rico with my nerves at their ends, because my family and people who have known me since childhood will be there, so I ask myself ‘What am I going to come up with this year?’ but I am going with my heart in my hands.  Also, I remember the first time I played a show at Bellas Artes, then the Hiram Bithorn, that was another big one.  Now this is the first time that I am bringing my show to the Coliseo de Puerto Rico and it’s another challenge, its nerves because after so many years of playing shows in Puerto Rico, there is again another first time at a place”, he indicated.


Constant News
With 30 years in his career, Chayanne reassures that there is no time to get bored, not even while singing the same songs over and over again, because he says each moment is special on its own.  Nonetheless, I lament the incident that occurred in Argentina in October, where – for the second time – he had to cancel a show due to health problems.

“You make such a long tour and come to the moment where you say ‘I am human, not a robot’.  So you reflect and say I have an 8 month tour, I come from many countries, many cities and many flights, and you realize that you have to get better, that you are sick.  You think that if I play the concert I will let down many and the same if I don’t, I let down many as well, so you have to make the decision with the most common sense, for love and for the phrase ‘the show must go on’.  Things happen that are difficult, but you do your best and continue”, he indicated.
The artist will continue the tour until June of next year in Mexico and Chile, where he will also take part of the Viña del Mar festival.

In acting, there is currently no concrete Project.

The most recent in said discipline was new to him, since he brought voice to a character in the Disney movie “Tangled”.

”I had sung songs for various Disney movies, but i had never voiced any animated character.  It gave me great illusion, because I enjoyed very much the sound effects that I had to make when they punch you in the stomach, or when you took off running.  It’s a character with a lot of charm, did not have parents when young and is flirtatious but has a big heart.  His name is Flynn and he protects the princess”, he tells us.

As soon as the tour finishes, Chayanne will begin to work on his next album.
