Chapter 1: What inspired Karol G to headline Coachella?
My real name is Carolina. Para nadie es un secreto que es muy raro ver una mujer dentro del género del reggaetón. Oh, my God. The first lucky hit hit my head. If I had met you before
Hey, daddy gang. Welcome back to part two of this very special Carol G Coachella episode. I just got to Coachella. I'm backstage. I'm about to go hang out with Carol G. And I'm so, so, so excited for you to see this episode. Before we get into it, if you have not watched part one of this series, you have to pause and you need to go watch that.
In episode one, Carol G shared her story of being a teenager growing up in Columbia and and then getting to where she is today, headlining Coachella. Now in this episode, Carole is going to talk about her creative inspiration and just the whole process that went into putting this Coachella set together.
Before we kick off Coachella with Carole G, we're going to take it back to the studio so you can hear from her what went into this set.
Chapter 2: How did Karol G prepare for her Coachella performance?
Let's get into it. What is up, daddy gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her. I know that you performed at Coachella in 2022. Now, four years later, yes, you are headlining and it's very well deserved. But where were you when you found out? Like who called you? What was your reaction? I'm a loud person.
I'm a very loud person. I love to scream. I love to, I think I'm a very loud person, but actually this one got me like super different. Like my, my sister called me, my sister, she's my sister.
And at the same time, she's my manager and she called me and I was like completely shocked because I think, uh, right now I feel so, uh, so special that I have the opportunity to be in this generation that is changing the narrative for our Latina culture.
super important for me and when she called me and she told me like okay they want you to be the headliner that that is going to close the festival because i have sunday so i closed the festival and it's the first time they're gonna have like a latina women in spanish being a headliner so it felt heavy you know it's kind of like
Chapter 3: What message does Karol G want to convey through her music?
So at that moment, I was like kind of a little shocked. I got like this silent moment and I was like, okay, let's do it. Like we were talking at the time, we were talking about starting the tour, but then I was like, let's stop everything and let's just focus about this because this is huge. And I really want my community to feel proud.
And I really want the world to feel that I was ready for this huge opportunity.
How did you begin to come up with what you wanted this message to be?
It's a mix of things. I think in my whole career, I have had the craziest experiences, good ones, very bad ones, things that I just feel that I shouldn't have lived at that time. And... Because of that, I just feel that I need to speak for women in so many different reasons. So yeah, there is still like the message of my community. We're fighting for rights.
But at the same time, there's so many different battles that we have to still keep fighting for. And so I was like thinking how I can put all of these things together and make it work and make it Still, like, it's a show, it's a concert, you know?

Chapter 4: How does Karol G select her special guests for performances?
So that was the hardest part to get in. And we had, like, five or six different... We started from something, then it becomes something different, then it's, like, and at the end, like, well, we just built... For me, it's kind of... I love it. I'm very hard on myself, and to have a show that I love, love, love, made me feel, like, very... confident about the show that we have.
I just am so impressed because I think, listen, we've seen people go up there and have fun at Coachella, perform their songs. And then we have seen people make statements, whether it was, right, political or whether it was to represent their community or it was about, yes, like gender, whatever it be. And the fact that you have two huge things on your shoulders, right?
You're trying to speak up for women and And you're also trying to speak up for your community. That is a lot. Like, I think about it this year. We had the Bad Bunny Super Bowl. And this is on the Bad Bunny Super Bowl. Yes, it was his Super Bowl. We've got you headlining.
Chapter 5: What does Karol G want her audience to feel during her performance?
Like, what impact do you hope to see from this massive moment that Latin music is having in American culture right now?
I just feel like to have the opportunity to change people's minds, it's the most important. It's still like things, they're still like running by different people that I don't know how much we can change that. But at least what I love the most is to see how people, for example, from here, they're fighting for us. And that's what means everything, because it's about that, it's about love.
It's kind of, we're here in this world that is pushing us to be separated in all the ways possible. And when human, they got this empathy, and when humans understand why we are here, that we are all a community. I know it's Latinos, it's Europeans, but at the end, we're us in here, in this world. It's kind of a... It's humanity.
So I just feel that when you see that people is open their eyes and understanding that we have to do something together that's going to make the voice louder. And that's what we need to get together and speak for everyone at the same time.
And in a really powerful way, I feel like something that has always prevailed and risen up is music unites people. Music is this thing that no matter what is going on in the world, it is something that can bring us all together.

Chapter 6: How does Karol G's hair color reflect her emotions and experiences?
So kudos to you for doing that. Okay, talking a little bit more about Coachella, because now I'm like... Obviously, weekend one happened. We're going into weekend two. Can you tell us a little bit about like once you decided on this vision, you're like, I need to represent my community. I want to speak up for women.
How did you even think about like the set design and the set list and the costumes?
OK, that's a good one because it. As I said before, like, we have, like, seven different options. Okay. And not options, because we started from this, and then I feel like, I like this, but I don't feel yet what I visualize for this moment. And then we move to here, and we just, until the moment we get to what we present. Okay? So... I wanted, of course, to represent where I come from.
Chapter 7: What role does community play in Karol G's music and performances?
I am from Colombia. I'm a Colombiana and I'm Latina and I'm human in this world. And so I can, how I can represent like my culture, not being, I wanted to go deep. So what existed before the aesthetic of Latinos? You know, like this colorful world. We're really extra. We are full of beautiful, different even cultures in our culture because there's Mexican, Colombians, Peruvians, like everything.
And we're from different places and we have our different things. So how I can represent everything, but in a way that people can understand because I want the world to understand who we are.
at the same time like speaking about women um i read a book seven years ago is the name in english is women that run with wolves i think is the meaning and the book is so beautiful because the book tells you and explain you how women were respected in like years ago we're going to we're talking about like uh primitive yep
the og days yeah exactly all the socialization and society built like all the way back to the very very beginning exactly we're like women got it exactly so women at that time we were wild you know everyone was wild at that time and it was all about intuition spirituality like the realness that it is in our energy in our bodies
And I find always like the energy of women, like the most inspiring thing for me. Like I love men because I love them. But when I feel something that inspires me a lot, most of the times it comes from women. Exactly, from women.

Chapter 8: What does Karol G hope to achieve through her foundation?
So when I read that book, I was like so surprised how they used to be the leader of the tribes and everything because of all the energy, you know, even because of their sensuality. the energy, the powerful mind, the power of the body. And then society, a structured system, they just have been taking that out from us. So I was like, that's a good start.
to thinking about the stage, to thinking about where I want to put the people, like when they see the show, where are we gonna be? So we're gonna be in that specific time when women, they just were powerful because of their selves, their inner mind, their inner feelings, their like wildness that is so powerful and so beautiful.
And I want to put the people in that specific time and I want everyone in that space even women more, feeling that powerful energy. You know, you can be big, feeling intelligent, smart, brilliant, but you can feel like intelligent, smart, and brilliant, feeling sexy, hot, mamacita, why not? And I want to put that wildness in all the show.
So we have like one, two, three, like four different stages. as the people, so we have four different stages, that this kind of, of this world where we live in, that for me would be the perfect world for women to be free.
Women are going to be
going feral like I can't I can't explain even just you sitting in this chair how like it has me getting hype because I'm like this is what we need right now so then when you go out on stage do you ever get nervous that you're gonna get choked up and emotional or do you just go right into performer mode and you just have to like black out the emotions because this is pretty emotional Carol
Literally, I'm the most emotional person that you're going to have sitting in this chair. Like I cry for everything, like happiness, sadness and everything. I think with the time I've been trying to control it a little more because you understand that sometimes. I want to be super genuine and honest with my feelings.
But sometimes you realize that there's specific places where people is going to be hard on you because you feel real. So I'm trying to take care of myself with those things. But I'm super emotional. It happens to me. And actually, I love my fans because they gave me the confidence that I needed to... be open with one of my albums, Mañana Será Bonito.
I did that album in a specific moment in my life where I was like really broke, everything in me. And then when I had to put like an album, it was like songs that I just were like doing just to let out feelings.
