Tito y Tamara

Tito y Tamara

One has our differences and our controversies and in professional life I would also have tried to be more aware of How to manage a filter when speaking when speaking from a place of love from a place of good will has cost me friendships that I loved very much that I love very

Much What I value And that intention to help is not always enough This is what we do but it is not who we are not because you act that way or Because you would react that way it means

That for others that is the initial reaction or the logic or the line of thought eh I’m not going to change it because they’re not going to be happy doing it in other ways So if right now

We only had to work with them I have nothing but gratitude Okay that’s another way of looking at it I can understand some of this that They see me and at first I can say that I was

Quite overwhelmed by the situation but little by little I have learned to deal with it, the excess of machismo and it is difficult because this industry has always been led and characterized by that. Greetings friends How are you? Sonia Rivera speaks to you in another episode of Diamond to. I am

Super excited because this episode smells like [__] it smells like cuajito it smells like a pincho it smells like everything you can imagine if you are Puerto Rican say wow and raise your hands because I have here the flag of couples worldwide from Puerto Rico, those

Who represent us everywhere we go, for me it really is not only that we are friends but it is having them here on the podcast and that they have said yes, welcome Sean tiara se It gave us it gave us it I always celebrate because really making a podc ​​is a little complicated right and all that But before starting please don’t forget to subscribe like share this video because it’s going to be a bomb and I know it all the

World wants to see what they have to say And really, my house becomes small having them here guys, thank you, thank you for counting on us, not always, what happens is that I wanted to prepare well because I didn’t want to be here. coming to put my feet in I had to practice

A little first and make the evolution of the podcast But it has been going up little by little So you know They are here if they are here it is because they trust me they know that I am going to do well

That s Argentina and Puerto Rico but Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico eh I already saw I saw that you arrived super small or I know you are literally Puerto Rican at heart although I know that you defend a lot

Too I mean you have it deeply rooted in you the Ororicua I mean Obvious obvious I mean, obviously, it’s not like it’s been a few months. Yes, I know if you watch the other podcast, in fact I want to send you a

Greeting yesterday because I know that you also don’t have an essay. So go and also check out the material, it’s really cool. 23 years together is easy to say but a lot of things have happened 24 24

Now 24 now because since I saw the podcast that said 23 Okay 24 they already turned 24 2000 in 2000 starting Yes I know I’ve been dancing exactly that December January Sorry about 2000 you are a cute little box because I started to find out things and I kept finding out things

And finding out things and subs 22 I didn’t know that you were a pole vaulter that is one of the hardest sports in athletics I went to leta ran 8500 I don’t have any of that left I don’t have

Any of that left but Proc how complicated it was to do sports and at that time when there wasn’t that much technology Tell me about that yes yes Well I always did I came from very early I did sports

First I started running small marathons, and in athletics Well, I started to drop out of long-distance races, I was also a fundraiser That’s how it was That’s how I started and I started dropping after 3000 15 800 400 was the shortest I ran but I always combined it with basketball that

Was It was and continues to be one of my great passions and through the years that I competed in Minors in Carolina I was representing Carolina for a long time later at the school level and at

The university level. Afterwards I changed some events on the field and in the field I got to do throwing with weights jalina disco it was full of field which almost never good Very few people do

Track unless it is or it is like a is that was the first was to run and then reach the others to the other events that in the jump was that where best and my second best event

Was the high jump but my first year of university I decided to try the pole vault and since I was in the Corina region I won that that year in the I hate it when I move to the Yupi Well,

I know my coach there and my lifelong brother Ed gard Díaz and he trained me there on the pole, well, the champion of Puerto Rico, the best record there is in Puerto Rico. the pole

Eh this one and nothing eh I did all my studies daring because that’s like s Yes all my good with that I have dared when I changed that sport my mom didn’t know that I did it so one day I

Told her mom I’m doing an event It’s called the pole and it got there to the Escobar cisto and when I’m doing No, I’m doing basketball But well, one frustration I got to the point of playing his 22 but one frustration that I had due to some injuries I couldn’t continue playing

Basketball and then I said well Let me try the pole that was the one with which I was able to finish my university studies and I jump and when I jump my mom starts screaming because my dad

Was also there olto olto olto what is that no no no no no I don’t like that I don’t like that So she yelled at me instead of telling me what I saw she yelled at me to stop doing that nothing

But a very technical sport with a lot of sacrifice but it helped me a lot Hey well my studies but also a lot of discipline that I apply in life thanks to sport Tamara How difficult it is

To be the wife of this gentleman because I know that he is obviously together and has the same level of fame, obviously, as both of them, but how difficult because I know that he requires a lot of time

From maybe family because being involved in so many things, well. It’s that no I don’t have anything to compare with but difficulty difficulty no what yes sometimes is that no the one that yes I know what he likes quality time family time and now in this new job he has

Which is a great opportunity for growth for him and an opportunity, a platform where he can put his leadership skills to use, not only limited to dancing but in everything else that he can provide that knowledge. Well, on the one hand, I am the one who is chilled. pushing him

So that he does not give up because he misses more family time he misses this he misses that but they are opportunities that had not been presented to him before and where he can make a difference not for others but

Also for himself because it is a challenge and he himself realizes it and It is more satisfying than not, you have to sacrifice as always in everything because any job entails a sacrifice and family time can always be affected, whether it is a normal job from

8 to 5 from Monday to Friday or a I work like the one I have now that really doesn’t have a schedule or specific days, which isn’t difficult because I prefer to be on the positive side, on the

Chiller side, giving whatever the hand gives him that calms him down instead of giving him additional weight. or another concern that I don’t have the nice thing about helping him by being there cl but LG the perfect time because maybe with less age or less maturity it would have been Maybe

A definitive trigger a bit true because he can be consistent and understand and like to encourage more and let go a little maybe right well that one from biologist to dancer Explain that to me because I like a biologist well yes because I always loved science eho rocker I already have that part

No I already have it too Look here what I played music family rock band how is that not that I was also a good rocker and I still love it I listen to a lot of Rock this one not because

I always like science I studied biology with a mentality of finishing a master’s degree in physical therapy that stops my time when I graduated it was not available it was available 4 years after I graduated from university but it was parallel to getting involved in the world of

Salsa because my dad, as he always explained on other occasions, had his orchestra, he wanted to have me in the front and when I go to where my dance teacher obviously daddy jalala that he teaches me

The choreographies to be able to be with the orchestra because he invited me to belong to his group and from there they were two things that in my university years I was growing parallel already Once I finished university I was already so involved in so many dance things that I see the

Possibility of continuing studying a little more dance and waiting for that Gap to do the master’s degree so I get involved, I go to New York I start studying other dance disciplines for other opportunities and I came back and worked as a medical representative for a while because of the preparation

I had in biology, but nothing, dancing continued to take up so much of my life that the opportunity from the municipality appeared and I said, Well, my God, if this is where you want me to Well, here let me serve and so far, thank God, my feet sounded better Okay Look, I

Have here because obviously we had already talked, I had already seen in another podcast that if you families of musicians play an instrument, yes, I first learned the clarinet, which is my first instrument later I learned the bass to belong to a little rock band rock band Okay and then

I learned eh now eh a few years ago I also learned to play a little guitar eh they are instruments that you know I will always be passionate about I’m going to let go I’m learning to play piano now

Can you imagine yes yes yes yes Santa I left a piano and I’m there every day for half an hour playing my piano I already play something there more or less but the poa is not my poa but I already know how

Complicated it is it’s an instrument yes yes I’m there giving birth to read to read my God okay How is a day in your life simple when you’re not traveling when you’re not doing anything

When the truth is when you’re not doing dance things what do you do to throw us in? the living room to watch television consists of the trip in the bathroom the kitchen or if we go to the cinema he likes the cinema in the

Yard if he goes to train he always trains if he convinces me I accompany him if I convince my son he accompanies us but very relaxed trying to be The most peaceful thing is to sleep pressing the

Remote control disconnected and if we are there if there is something that in Puerto Rico now there are always things happening if there is something that attracts us that we want to go see or listen to then let’s go we are excited well let’s go

There they are from chincho Real likes it that something yes no no uh we have a lot of friends but exactly and variety we also both like it we really appreciate live music we are very fans of

Glen Monroyo that if there is something like that it’s something like that and we have the time and the energy and we haven’t melted, let’s go, you know yes Oh, and hobbies because obviously it’s one thing to be at home

Without doing anything Hobby because I know that you like basketball but theoretically no, he goes into the mountains with his bicycle when he can and gets angry. or in the back in the gym or to run with I

Like to do a lot of exercise that is that that is my my Happy Place I like it even Now when when I go to events I always go to the gym this I like to run I try not to run

So much anymore the injuries I have in my knee but I can’t always leave it the way I want I do but I run a lot of mountain biking in the In the mountains when I have the opportunity And

Definitely train train in the back we have space Tamara loves it [ __ ] sol vus Netflix I went to Your house is so beautiful I say yes yes but your Hobby you have to have a Hobby like something else

That you like I always still like to read I haven’t taken the time recently during the pandemic I adopted gardening well sign oh You are like me tita matita because now I bought a house relax gardening and puzzles you like puzzles Oh if I ever know But because I

Always like it with pleasure and do little things and take dance classes take many dance classes Yes yes of what really appears there is still a house From House, if there is a valet, I go to Valet.

If there is something I want to have, it’s always bachata salsa. Look at that. Look at that. Okay. How do you divide the personal from the professional, because being with your husband 247 and being up and down and how

No, people would think that they are always together because obviously we always see them together. But how is that part divided because I know that it’s like there is a fight. He found it easier than I learned

Over the years. Okay, no, definitely me since, uh, always. We started to have the opportunity to work together, obviously at first it was difficult to make that separation but for this was successful and functional it had to exist. In other words, if in our personal life we ​​have our

Differences and our controversies and in our professional life too, then if we mix them, one of the two is going to fail or we had a rehearsal and we had Maybe some personal problem When we arrive at rehearsal time, that is, that part is over, we go to work and when,

In the work part, we were working and we had differences because we are two minds, two ideas, two, that is, two ways of seeing things, well, sometimes No, I didn’t agree and sometimes we had our arguments when it was over I told him it’s over, let’s go, let’s go eat and Tamara

Came like what are we going to eat and me? Tamara is not personal, we’re done. No, it’s not personal if you are my husband me in the other in the other podcast you can’t be more personal because

We are married but but after we were married it was less it was more in that stage of November when I start dancing with him that this is a new industry for me so it was a lot I went to the

Video of short hair like Dorado with white and I had Tac toc it was a very easy switch to eat I don’t have it it’s not that easy it’s really not that easy Yes but you you that a conversation like

In stop well the truth It’s that you talk about it but it’s not until you’re in practice and in your day to day life and what’s happening that you start to understand and then you realize that

Sometimes in your personal life as well as in life At work, you argue about things that are sometimes not necessary and in professional life it is because at the end of the day we want to do a good job, right?

So when you focus on that part, you forget all the other straws that fall and focus Yes, if you look closely, I direct this because obviously you are one of the longest-lived couples in the industry and have survived

So many years and many people are starting to maybe dance with their partner to give them a little context of how they should deal with situations And what is allowed what should not be allowed so that they can reach so many always with

Respect always listen to you who AC It’s okay, you know how to give it time things should mature and always with respect the issue is respect both professionally and personally eh when there is That is balance too that is us This is what we always say This is what we

Do but it is not what we are So our you heard for you what you are seeing in that camera there for you what in our work That is what we dedicate ourselves to doing but it is not

What we are And then eh in our house it is not that we are talking about dancing all the time eh Sometimes friendships come and the same thing we always say let’s do something else, you know

If it’s from the world of dance eh It’s not that we have to be talking about dance, we’re going to share in another way and we have our friendships that are also completely outside of dance and that

You don’t know are that so we try to maintain a great balance with that because and and I know how rich it is because for example my wife, the producer who is here behind the camera,

You are not seeing him but he is there, that is what What he likes is the cinema and when I discovered how Oh I can watch the cinema I also like how to do other things because everything in my house before was

Dancing you know eh And it was like a very drastic change and I liked it that’s why I agree since the beginning both yes he likes They are what is your favorite movie have something alternative to

The favorite movie what do you like Marvel or what do you like no no I am a romantic comedy he gives up piti That’s my food my my my my favorite movie Wow no I wouldn’t have believed yours oan oo Exactly oú

Er massach o The exorcism of you tell me where she is Look raise your hands and I sleep like a baby I don’t see mystery I don’t love him no but we are she is now one of mine But I I always show my

Hair because it’s very difficult, so Tito, because I like what I like, I hate it And you are how you know that what you like is blood, the massacres, he likes to watch his YouTube, I say that algorithm, how

Ugly, I love that one. and the ones about improvement, I really like those history movies that there are of improvement, whether it be social racial issues, or improvement as a person, these themes always fascinate me, they call me a lot and you will ask the interview not because of the dances Well, of

Course, because people want to know a little more about you and because of dance They have a lot of stories, that story is that we are going to play things like that. What decision did you make at some point that if

You had made it now you wouldn’t do it and he says Oh, rosé. For example, some decision that you made at some point and you say, Oh, that wouldn’t have happened. fact I wouldn’t have done that yes you wouldn’t have

Done one of the two I’ll help you I don’t know little one That’s what I said TR fact I don’t know Oh they stayed on Yes yes it’s difficult Well of course because Tena had to because what happens is that eh You did everything

For a reason and maybe you wouldn’t have changed anything. I don’t think I would have changed much of what has happened in my life. I think that in the moments that have been difficult or that maybe

They wouldn’t have changed for me, eh. So It would not have turned out for the best as I would have wanted, I think because of my way of being and my way of thinking about life because I always think about it that way. I always stick

To good things so I think that even if it had not been perfect, the best in That moment I learned something so that later it would serve me in another way because I always think that way. In other words, I always look at it as if things are happening because there

Is a path and so those blessings that God gives you and if it wasn’t this way it was this way I don’t know I don’t have any regrets so that’s good, right? And it’s like, oh, you

Didn’t ask me I don’t know I’m still thinking about mine and seeing and seeing around there well because I know it already occurred to me Something has already occurred to you. Okay, come on, throw it away, but that comes with maturity and

Experience. I would have tried to be more aware of how to handle a filter when talking about a place of love, a place of good will, because it has cost me friends to say things. things without a filter and perhaps not transmitting the intention of where it comes from or that the person

Can understand it in a good way and not misinterpret it or I in fact or I identify that the person is not assimilating it the way I want it has cost me friendships that that I loved a lot

That I love a lot That I value And that intention to help is not always enough sometimes you have to know when to keep quiet or how to convey the message that is not the best without a filter and I used to be very

Unfiltered Yes I know but well and I I think so, but for you to see, look what a nice reflection because maybe that part if I hadn’t. Maybe I asked this question people wouldn’t know where

We’re going from, not where we’re going, and I think a lot of people will appreciate that and This is going to be one of the clips of this video Okay, they read on social networks, I see you sometimes, you’re out

There, he’s the most influential, I’m in denial, I’ve had to learn from it, so clist abr exo, I do it. I force him and then he ends up being an influencer and so I am in my cave and Where is elot

Here is the po no I don’t do much I don’t see you doing much it is difficult work I prefer to be with the dog or with the Matas or with the book or with my son or sleeping or with Netflix Yes but

It is so necessary Yes today obviously it is not that it was difficult for me But the reality is that before I was also more active Now I am like letting go a little more because I also feel that I lose

Yes because Sometimes those who are next to you ignore you to connect with people who are on the other side and you say that they don’t even care Sometimes yes Now I ask you, read the comments because

I know that since they are very middle-of-the-road people, people not only want to know about you but there are also haters everywhere and people who maybe don’t want much and write behind a keyboard they write anything to you and stay as if nothing happened and it seems like reading bothers them Well, look,

There have been one or another comment that it does touch me A fiber that and then sometimes I consult it with Tito I consult it with triam I say it I don’t say it I posted it I posted it don’t leave it there eh Like the

Same there are others that one learns from what one reads and says Okay it’s another way of Seeing it, I can understand some of this, there are others that are worth it, there are others that you don’t care about, three no, but I always tell him.

Look, I can read, read things, I try to see her as much as she can, I always try to answer everyone who writes to me, I always try to do it, and I always send her her thanks when, and that makes me ugly because every time I write it, you are very very

Accessible, I always try to know if someone has shared something with us. Thank you, you know, I always tell him, thank you, because you know, he is a sweetheart, right, and when there are negative things, this is not true,

Anyway, you know, that’s how I start to tell him. I don’t answer, the truth is that we balance because sometimes when this person is about to press the button, I come low when I’m here, it ‘s a low day, it’s okay, you can’t like everyone and you know, it’s very political. is

That we integrate many times correct well you could but you shouldn’t And I okaya that he is that he is the brake on you sometimes Okay Look at that what power that child has What has he given you well

Teado well all of us because let’s go to this is both of them What has dance given you and what has it taken away from you? I told you that what I was preparing for has literally given me a way of life because everything

From the personal and the professional in the sense, yes, the personal because it is something that I was passionate about, no. It’s what I planned to do. I would have loved to study veterinary medicine but there was no hesitation

To leave, you know, I was going along that line and the decision was that I should have gone to Puerto Rico if I continued with that goal. I was the same in biology. I have five classes left so that at some

Point, if God allows, I will finish that high school, that’s why the five most hateful classes, organic chemistry one and two, biochemistry, molecular cell biology, and the last English, which is an s, which is

Nonsense, but that’s why they are there and not It’s going to happen because in those moments I was doing bachir I traveled a lot with Mani I traveled with Enita I traveled with artists and it was a moment where I had to make

A decision and thank God my mother gave me there That that light she was the professional that for that type of commercial dance, if there is an aspiration date, the studies are going to be there and although she did finish her high school before going professional, I had this opportunity at a

Much younger age than her, so I took advantage of the opportunity, look, and that The best thing can be a regret of not quite yes and no of not having finished university early so as not to be dragged down That insecurity is that that little lump against I would love to have the

Diploma regardless of whether I hang it on the wall or not Or that I used it for something, yes, but it was a lot of money, many years invested, it is not a No, it is not an easy career to study

Biology, it requires and I did it for many years as I traveled for everything, but well, it wasn’t one day you What has all that given me, what has it taken away from me, well, look, I’m honest that it was never

Because they forced it on me, but there was something that I’m in charge of for my son to have. I would have liked to have had more childhood, more adolescence. I remember that stage that I don’t. I would have sacrificed

To be rehearsing rehearsing and rehearsing and rehearsing not having to leave early from the High School escape or being able to go to such and such a thing or I can go to a Talent Show to such and such and it was always literally the

Guideline for all 10 I can’t have it rehearsal no but that started very early that I missed a lot of things Tito well we I understand I mean when I say me I say we Because it has given us a

Way of life eh definitely eh we live completely completely from dancing Now I have I have had a huge blessing with another job opportunity but I don’t stop doing this I think that having the uh the opportunity to work doing what you like what you are passionate about doing it with a wife

Doing it for our son well I think it has given us practically everything true What has it done for us? taken away then time with triam you know time time with the baby this really That’s the one I think has

Been the most difficult part because on the weekends he has his eh jareta he also has his sport we are stuck there like that with the phone because a Dad put it on, wait on

Live and we’re like this running between planes or in a gap I quote to see if we see the game eh That part is been you would have liked to be a more present dad in the good sense not the same

We are the same we are the same Yes but but well it has taken us a while that this I believe that in life one has different eh eh motivations to achieve things and I believe that today our greatest motivation or today not for all years that triam has been our motivation

Of the dance of wanting to continue working and do things as best as possible in our engine is triam and then definitely sometimes not having the opportunity to be there all the time as we would like Well that most difficult part and Thank God we have a Support from our family, the

Mother of logy, my father, my mother, the grandparents, so that one picks up the other, takes you and the friends around you, as well, so thank you, God, you and a thousand uncles who

Barri there what do you need what do you need but I’m going to tell you I haven’t seen him for years because I do see him on social media and all that but yesterday when I saw him he was the coolest thing and he even told me Hello

How are you And I Wow I mean because The boys really show that they have had an upbringing in love and you can see it clearly in their eyes and that part is not all boys today. Well, with

The influences that we know are out there, they are What is the most difficult thing to being you says Oh baby But what’s wrong is difficult to be me yes because sometimes one says Oh my God I don’t know Oh Sonia those

Difficult questions well that’s why people want to know how you think and I know the assignment you can’t say It’s not very difficult to be me, well, what Tara thinks, I think that for my part, this is what I like to deal with. Hey, you have very high expectations with society. Yes,

Yes, right, you answer from the ran. Maybe you can answer it. Exactly always. I say my love No, no, because you act like that or Because you would react like that, it means that for others, for them that

Is the initial reaction or the logic or the line of thought and That part is true Because sometimes, well, I am disappointed in certain things, you know that It happens to us a lot and also the political thing sometimes

In the country the situation of how things are And always try to find I Always I mean I don’t like the controversies I don’t like the uh this all those all those negative things right So I always try to look at the positive part and sometimes not even Even in true

Leadership positions too but what are we going to be fighting here we are going to think better about how we resolve So we let ourselves go and that part well sometimes it is a little difficult because

I would like to be able to inject a little more of that And sometimes it doesn’t work well but that’s my way and I already understood that I’m not going to change it because I’m just going to be happy doing it in other ways So it makes

Sense it’s the same good that I know I don’t have another friend in the entire universe that has Víctor Manuel’s number on its cell phone, Gilberto’s number, Combo’s number How does it feel? Well, how does it feel to be surrounded by that truth there that you can call him on the phone and

They answer you? I can’t imagine that, well. the first time I was on the phone it was Gilberto that has been a blessing first the opportunity we have had to be able to be Gilberto’s corfos from

Víctor del Combo I know that she danced first with Víctor also true many years know a little bit about salsa that It was an opportunity that Elida Santa Ros gave me. At that moment she saw me at a concert by

Nitan Osario, she approached me, girl. What’s your name? I like you. You’re going to dance here. I don’t know how to dance salsa. It doesn’t matter, you’re a bitch and I’m okay okay okay Yes but that is, from Tito Nieves’ India, well,

Everything m The canary canary even the la la the generator like norber or ru well all of them eh first the part the first the part eh of work satisfaction and eternal gratitude to all They who have counted on our work for their jobs right And that

Little by little has led to another relationship of friends that we share this many things many passions of things that we like that we talk about And today this really I don’t have Nothing more to say than gratitude to life that has given us those opportunities because

Although I have all those phones there I can call them at any time when I receive a call from them or a congratulations I end up the same I know the same emotion I I’m equally excited because I’m a fan of theirs, that is, sometimes we’re in the same job, we’re

There at a concert with them working there, and at the moment we did our job, and there’s all the stress of work, and at the moment I sit next to them. And and I’m like, my God, thank you for

Letting me dance with this guy who is either here or this woman who I admire so much in this and I see everything they do. It really has been a super blessing to be able to work with them and today

To be able to work with them. Call friends and share so many things that if I didn’t have anything else, if right now we only had to work with them I have nothing but gratitude and to continue

Maintaining that beautiful friendship and to be able to share simple things, I don’t even have a way to express it, the emotion it gives me power and speaking of emotions, I also got excited when at one point

I saw the hologram of Aníbal Vázquez and I Wow and at the moment I open the other days on social networks and I see you giving a dance class in the office of year and what else do you need?

I don’t know what God wants. For us it was but bothering me combo. He dreams of retiring as a cante del granbo. You know, I always retire there happy because we see them and obviously one feels that eternal admiration anyway. and my things But that’s not that, those are talents that you have.

I don’t have that, I don’t have, I can. There’s a Corito there, I’ll stand with daddy, thank God I’m involved with my dad and my mom, right. But but not up to that point. I respect that. okay part Tamara is the

Iron Jury everyone knows it And if you don’t know what world in what universe you live in no longer has it been softened it has been softened But why do you think people think that Even though it

Has softened Over the years because people continue to give you that Label Well, I am still demanding, I am still, above all things, very firm in maintaining that above all it is ethics and being fair

With competitors, I like what I like, being in that, not like that. not to let myself be bent either by influence due to personal situations eh Because it’s not fair and I like that and the other thing is that

Always when I talk to competitors I’m going to try to tell them in a way that they understand it and that do your best so that they can understand that the message comes from an ideal so that you can continue growing, give them a tool to improve and not pass the hand

Now because some I already know that I have to pass the hand so that the message arrives in the same way and the reaction is not adverse but I also want to be demanding because I understand that in this

Industry there is a lot to learn as there is a lot to offer and as we have a lot to prove In comparison with other industries that do not have that credibility at an international level so one can

Say look We are on par with these other things and in that we have to demand and since I am also going to get involved people do not forget to subscribe like share because this is going to continue growing whether you

Want it or not Okay if you who are in in in agree. All the congresses have managed to make a turning point that not all couples or many people like us from the old school have managed to be current and be known as we, the old and the new, would say. What happened

Or how that turning point came about? What was the moment when we managed to move on from that generation where those of us who were there were first and managed to remain just as active in force? What did

You do differently that the rest of us didn’t do because I was like, Well, I think that equal opportunities yes no no Well, it’s also something that we, or little by little, we realized, right, because there were many years in which we said, Well, until when will we

Be doing this or when can we maintain this rhythm or will it really be possible to continue or will they continue to hire us? I had all these doubts even when the pandemic came I already said Well

If they wanted to get rid of us if they wanted to get rid of us This is the moment when they don’t hire us anymore and everyone was stopped everyone stopped but the pandemic came out and thank God eh That’s why we always live eh in this grateful for all the opportunities and

The job opportunities that it gives us but it’s not eh But that comes with a responsibility and an artistic responsibility is in the work and preparation So I don’t know how to tell you

What we did that the others didn’t do No no I wouldn’t put it that way but I would tell you what we tried to do and we tried to do it doesn’t matter when they were passing the As the generations continue to pass, we continue

Learning from those who came and learning from those who were there . eh eh it was also valid because it had its foundation and it was and we respect them also so from there little by little we continue to learn

From what is happening new sorry for what is happening new but at the same time eh we continue preparing to make a a reference to help that other generation And that also led us to diversify a little bit, we began to be able to train

More to be able to carry the message How were we going to do some certifications certifications in sesa certifications in Jury train other competitors train another generation And that, well, I think that it diversified us a little bit in this community that not little by little it is opening

The doors to us and always understanding that things are changing and evolving and we have to maintain it. I compare it with, for example, with great artists that these are the best examples with the same thing that I can tell you with the great combo with Gilberto with Víctor that is, they continue

To enter the other generation, true in their own way, I am never and never am not comparing with them but the mentality of not I close myself to the fact that what we do is the only thing that

Exists and the rest is of course no use. I’m not saying that that was what happened with some other colleagues, simply that we have always been open to those new ways. But why don’t you go without answer me you answered me now Do you think that now talking about the congresses

And now getting a little more into what bothers us is true about what we do that maybe in the congress there should be a little more balance between the talents because many times

There are still many people who are very capable of doing things of teaching things of bringing to the roots because remember that depending on how it is passed from generation to generation it is like the joke, I tell you

Something and you tell it to the other person. You say to the ot, when they get there, something else has arrived, so let’s talk a little about what they are still trained in, because sometimes they are treated

As if they are already out of date, so there are many, many, eh, well, I don’t know how many ethnic groups they have They honor the elderly and give them that respect but in this world of dance sometimes

It’s not so much and he says like you see for example I know I know that there have been controversies And that’s sorry and I keep hitting the microphone and I They’re going to kill me, they’re going to kill me, but I know that, for

Example, some teachers are like a Stacy. Sorry for mentioning it, but they are people who are very wise, and we hardly see them in congress. They’re not called. They’re not called. It is not

Given to him because he has a lot, a lot to contribute so to say a name like that is relevant then Do you think that maybe for these Well if the question is whether there should be a balance Of course a balance I think there are still people that we are blessed that

They are alive, that they are great references and great people and that thanks to them being there we are here and people come after us. So if there is the opportunity to be able to count on them,

Of course we still have the opportunity to be able to continue learning and of course I would love for them to still be able to count on many of them but on the other hand I also mention that

It is important that we are open and And still at this point You know because we may not be 70 years old or 60 but already the year What’s coming? I’ll get my 50 Aha Welcome to the club but I

‘m always talking about all those who came before us we can’t forget and I do this in music we also do it in music we talk about all those who took us here We talk about those who have been with us but also valuing what they do

Those after, those who come after And I think that is key So if we have the opportunity to have people like them Well of course it will be spectacular to be able to have the old school

The present school and the new school of course that would be that would be the ideal scenario I’m going to see Add something and maybe you don’t agree and it’s okay to differ. Nothing happens but I think that

There are even many classes that are theoretical that are as important as the definitive classes and and in the conferences A lot has been lost because What we want is to see. With all due respect to the big names, because I’m not, I’m not even mentioning anything, but that’s the balance. Maybe

When we do an event, we can take it so that the training is much better and you can understand what we do because many times what we see is like a copy Cut copy paste of

This and that and it goes away with the lightness that and the changing immediacy goes away like this and We are losing many of the things that should still be integral so that Let’s dance salsa Well

, of course not as it should be because all the salsa goes well, I mean it’s not a strange prerogative but I mean we have the root and the base so that we don’t lose that and that leads me to my next question flavor versus speed because obviously you stayed traditional and

That’s why I called it the flag of Puerto Rico because they are teaching the Puerto Rican salsa but it is changing so much and at such speed that sometimes I am like, son, but slow it down a

Little and Let’s really enjoy it or whatever you do there well there but when you go to the apartment enjoy it then tamarita tell me about what I choose or what I think that I eat well no no it’s not that it

‘s your favorite but but how do you deal with it because I know that you They are also listening, doing many things. How they balance that they are two completely different elements that are different strengths. Also in the dancers, there are very few who have everything. Each one chooses

What they want to represent them. And what draws their blood. We as artists have always liked shaking. I also really like speed, but a speed where I can still accomplish everything I want that my body can express, not a

Speed that limits me to well, here I have to make an I Except for everyone who knows me and has taken a class with me, I like it. Well, no, because, and more so, having so much spectacular music in Puerto Rico

Of all kinds of speeds, I push my limits as far as I can, but no, no, it’s not something that I like about a label. that characterizes me one or the other, if I can include both, then fabulous, of course,

One thing is what we would do, Tito and Tamara. Which obviously has a brand of a lot of flavor and a lot of elegance, but we have always pushed some, some truth, but it is clear from example Tamara is a person who moves fast Billy always talks about quick Twitch

Truth about Slow Twitch Tamara is a person who is quick Twitch she can move very fast I can’t move that fast I can move fast in a body movement but For me, the speed of my feet is not like that now but when I see someone who does it quickly and who

Looks very clear and I could mention lots of great dancers and dancers. I admire that in quantity, you look spectacular so no no I wouldn’t choose that one is better than the other simply what we do and how I can admire it in others Surely yes okay Okay and speaking of

The competitions the complaints we have been sitting in Mesa and we know that sometimes Three weeks later how many weeks later people still is with the complaints, you who are in all the championships Well, George judging by doing things how you deal with the complaints because I know that

You are seeing me and you are going to listen to it That is part of the competition It is part of this competition I mean That is, I always talk to you about the I grew up in a world of

Sports competition So Hey This is who scored the most points Who reached the finish line the fastest Who jumped the highest and then that is black and white in these competitions Well they are based in the evaluation criteria that there is a diversity of opinions and it also hurts a little

Part of the ego because whoever starts competing starts competing because I feel that I am the best at doing that. So, it is part of the competition that there are going to be discrepancies And that

There are going to be complaints and that there are going to be situations like this At first I can say that I was quite overwhelmed by the situation, but little by little I have learned to deal with it and understand. Listen,

It’s not that I don’t care, on the contrary, how I can help her. How can I help the competitor ? If the complaint is fair, if it is not fair, how to explain it. So I’ll take care of it, but it’s

Part, part, that’s part of the competition, that’s going to happen, no matter how perfect we understand, that the competition is over, it’s always going to come, huh? some controversies Who is not going to like the results Who is going to like it Among ourselves it can exist between

Between juries and between Tamar and I we can differ on many things in the end no I think you will see this no and we sit there we are Not for a little while, but I was part of those discussions too.

And we started, no, she with her foundation and I with mine, I with mine, but at the end of the day we have to respect each other because our results are going to be a conglomerate of those opinions. and

That conclusion is going to be the result So it is part of the competition Yes, what do you think Now that because I have noticed that there has been a change as well and almost all the competitions have the

Same Jury being so quite similar, that is, for example, the who go here they go there they go there they go are the same How the competitor identifies himself or maybe says oh I’m going to go to this event I’m going

To go to the other one I know that you are involved in many of them and I know that some of them well They are literally because you are a very active part of the organization. But how do you see it? I know that it is

Like a complicated question. I imagine the first thing is what goal does the competitor have? What market does it want to access? And that is the first thing you have to locate; the second. It’s going to be the economic part

As well, to what extent can I do, what can I do? And from there, well, then, I don’t think it’s so much more based on the panel before, yes, before, there were fewer of us, there was less competition and there were many competitors

Who did, and they even mentioned that Against that, I am right, but now that this has become such a commercial platform and such a big business, not only for the promoters but for the competitors who have the good fortune that they can do something with that talent and with that

Trophy with that title, which is an employment opportunity that strategically has the opportunity to choose what they can get the most out of on which platform which audience is a winwin situation, but what happens with the juries is that, as we speak,

Eh I always measure pal Of course but it’s okay well here it’s okay to say everything you want like no not the important thing what I mean by this that it was nothing bad but that the Jury eh little by little one can have training that we get our certifications we give

Certifications we have controversies with other colleagues speaking sitting eh eh expressing opinions one learns but at the moment of actually sitting eh that is another talent being a Jury is another talent people think that and no no it is not that easy

And then and and It’s not that easy, we can call all these years and it’s not still easy, right. And sometimes it may also be that eh One is human, you know, it didn’t turn out the way we wanted either,

But eh, trying to be as responsible as possible because what happens is that You are finding the right people to be jurors, so they are talented people to be jurors. And then that is why they will coincide with one or another talented juror. You know that this person is going to

Sit there and do their job to the best of their ability. possible possible under the responsibilities that you have as a Jury no and that you understand it with the responsibility and that well no it is not that easy

Sometimes we in the organizing part sometimes think that so and so is going to be excellent Jury sits there and says now Brother, no, he couldn’t do it, as maybe it could be someone else who

We never thought would be the case, and he sits down and this person does, but I wouldn’t have I didn’t think it was that I had thought about it like that, I don’t know but but at one point people didn’t

Have or thought that I could give the caliber of sitting down and doing it in the best possible way exo yyy you do the job correctly so that in that sense eh That’s why there is a Core, a

Small group of people who have dedicated themselves to doing that part and that one can tell with them the history of salsa We are almost finishing, don’t leave, don’t forget to subscribe and like Yes

, it is one of the classes that I understand that everyone should take and that sometimes they are not given, as we were talking about right now. How is the process of doing that class? Because how much history

Not only do you have to know but how much do you look for? do all the assembly and production of the class Well right now it’s 20 years of me doing that class 20 years 20 years I started doing that

In 2004 if you haven’t taken it you’re missing out you’re living somewhere else I’m seeing seeing in Narnia then 20 years 2004 and I always say it because of Professor Erm González, who was the resource that we used in Puerto Rico to be able to give that story to a historian. And

From there, I was filled with the passion of being able to continue learning from what that the backbone that he made and from there I added with the dance part that because of the closeness that I have had

From people like Gilberto who are fans of the story of the closeness that I have had from Mike of legends so well I have continued to feed myself with a lot of information. So I always say that

I don’t know everything and when I am at that conference I try to talk about facts most of the time, well I try to talk about facts. facts and if there is any opinion it is

Because or some anecdote it is because I received it from the source and I try to give very little of my opinion if not in a constructive way But look in a wise way I get involved and start

Looking for this information and I have a folder there full and I found this photo and Gilberto sends me a photo and I send him one back and then I met another one who is another historian and

He sent me this and where did it come from? This then is another topic to follow and when I continue I continue I keep adding And I still have a folder there full of things that I say possible topics for

The conference So it is a never-ending process that I am very passionate about I love it because I have always been a fan of history, one of my other hobs is the History Channel and I spend my time there watching things that I like about history, but doing it

More with the history of the room. Well, when I do that conference, what I really do is share the passion that I have because of history and especially because of the history of this music and dance that unfortunately there is little documented. Yes I know and that is why we are also doing

This so that a little remains because when we are no longer really talking about me when we are no longer I ‘m not here, so at least I’ll leave something to these kids who only know certain people

In front of them. They don’t know that there is such a rich history and so much that has happened. I also know that you are doing dances for the tourists in San Juan because I also saw part of that that they are

Doing things there That is part of the work that you are doing now or that is another another project No no that a that a show that we had called La viaje la salsa that we have that the black gliner kisses beautiful beautiful I tell her there with a group of spectacular

Dancers and great friends, really, of all ages teeth Okay and nothing I would obviously like to be able to We would like to be able to exhibit more of that that that production but sometimes it is difficult to

Sell it But there are their platforms that help us may not be the most lucrative but I think it is an important contribution that we make towards history and culture And that is a contract that we have with the municipality of San Juan at this moment Although we have done it

In other platforms what I am doing with my job as such is eh I am the director of the recreation and sports department of the municipality of Guayabo to whom I am extremely grateful to

Mayor Edar Onis for giving me that opportunity because as I said Tamara said right now he allows me eh to be able to live another passion of mine which is sport but also to be able to lead and do things that

Are really very very satisfying in providing quality service to the people, this being able to do it From that position and it really fulfills me a lot it consumes a lot of time I still thank you God

I understand some I have understood this other life of mine and I have a certain truth a certain flexibility but without leaving this I that telephone I am 247 there I am available all the time for that position I serve everyone as the best way I can. can do and to try to

Give the best service and that Hey, but how nice that you have a platform where you can see the situation of the country and have a magic wand to be able to influence and get involved and do

Things for young people and like It really is an incredible opportunity and more and I say that about Tamara, she knows it with all honesty. More so when there is a leader like him because he is an

Honest, upright person, he does things spectacularly well and of the few politicians. Yes, definitely he is no no and And no, and I don’t want to get into the political part because I didn’t get there either because of a

Political action. I’m the best example that it wasn’t a political way but it’s spectacular how he wants to do it and how he does it and the work team. that we have from the directors and all this

Allows us to provide a really quality service and do it well do it well for the town of Baino and when I come I come home excited we were able to do this with such a school with

Such a nen from the most eh, basic and simple things, even very big things and being able to help equipment and help sports and help recreation, there is also so much need for the arts that is important,

A healthy town has to have that And many times it is obvious because the first thing they cut but now We’re almost finishing, don’t hurry, don’t go anywhere, this is okay. Well, okay, if they had a magic wand, Tamara, to remove something from this scene that you don’t like, what would it be

? Well, look at this little book here, this little guy [Laughs] here are some of that, no? It could be from this scene because we know that there are things that we obviously don’t like and little is said about what I want look with this

With this literally Forgive me no no what I don’t want is for it to be a criticism simply to provoke the conversation because there are many things here that they don’t talk to each other and they are doing us terrible harm.

So what would you remove the excess of machismo? Ugh, it’s difficult because this industry has always been led and characterized by that, but you don’t have to search or search for yourself to see that there are women who are equally or more trained than many of the men who lead this environment

Not only in a matter of talent in a matter of intelligence in a matter of verbalizing how they present themselves in a matter of those things of wanting to make a difference for the better whether for

Men for women for anyone community and that opportunity we have been there for. How many years has salsa dancing existed and it is still time in which the difference is so little and

Women have gone through this that you have to tell you and have and still I am sure that You will never see them face to face with other men who have probably not done even half of the good

For this industry. Amen. Tell me that’s what they tell me. I’m not going to learn the gentleman’s style from a woman and I’m okay, Tito, what would you change? It’s not that he said spectacular, yes, that equality is important,

It’s necessary, I think that and I could add to the part of what we’re talking about right now the respect and recognition of those who were there and the gratitude for this. Sometimes I think it’s missing. a lot of respect for those who were there before and don’t be grateful to those who

Are there so that one can be here you have to understand that what we do is dance salsa we give a Ray of Joy of Hope but we dance salsa so sometimes it’s like eh the movie, download it two that you haven’t invented the cure for you’re not inventing go to the

Moon that So be grateful more than anything else be grateful that you have the opportunity to work live doing something that we like that we are passionate about that God gave us the talent to do it and that

‘s all for everyone and to coexist all together Hello now something about Tito that people don’t know a beautiful quality that Tito has that no one knows anything but you Oops Search search and you thinking know well

Exactly because sometimes there are little things that are like they always know everything you can tell everything is told Oh I don’t know what he gives flowers that I don’t know what It’s because I know something that the Vol doesn’t

Like and does it in all colors and flavors. Work on things around the house, whether it’s mixing cement, whether it’s throwing tiles, whether it’s electricity. If you don’t know, you learn it on YouTube. changing

Wiring in his car in Las Matas I don’t like that he touches a lot he leaves Las Matas quiet but construction things useful things that have absolutely nothing to do with art we

Owe that to his parents that the Boso family that to the three men who are instilled in them that when they are little they are going to learn to do everything and that is extremely useful and wonderful of course they learned

A little I tell them you saw a lot but you saw that there were things that people don’t know that but but I know another one thing Tito likes to make costumes and cook also another thing Tito something about Tamara

That people don’t know Oh spectacular kitchen he likes it a lot he really likes cooking and he’s super handy with all the decoration things this is like tearing off a piece of paper She starts to make her

Arrangements there and no no and everyone, for example, goes home and everyone and who is the designer here this thing is not Mara And who this arrangement is Mara is always always she with with that even with the costumes always to the friends or colleagues that we have this yamar says no

You don’t do this like this like this roast this hairstyle this this So she is very creative in things like crafts and all that and singing and composing rit Oh also look That sounds better like that and I

Tell him wait, you’re going to tell him, I’m going to tell him the artists but you’re going to tell him how to play this song but it rhymes well and I’m going to add another little thing that sometimes people have that perception because they have

That perception. of Tamara who is very strong or this and really tambar is a very very passionate person and if you are she is you are always a good friend of hers I mean she is going to be a super friend and I

Sometimes tell people When you see That’s the moment that’s bothering you. That’s because she loves you a lot. When you see that she doesn’t even talk to you, worry, yes, worry. But you know why she goes to the end with her friends, right, who’s

There ? and a person who is very very passionate about the people he loves Okay look if you have reached this point in the interview and have enjoyed this content Don’t forget to subscribe like share because there are many very interesting interviews coming up and they are going to
