What Ana Castela says about the Latin Grammys
Singer Ana Castela, 21, told the behind-the-scenes story of her participation in the Latin Grammys during a podcast interview PodPah. The artist, who took home the award for best country music album, suffered a setback that nearly prevented her from attending her awards win.
According to Ana, conflicting information about the time of the ceremony created a race against time. “They told my team that first there would be the red carpet and then the awards ceremony. So I woke up calmly and started getting ready without haste. Suddenly Bruna arrived [da equipe da cantora] saying I had 15 minutes to be ready. I hadn’t even started to wear good makeup.”he said.
The singer and her team arrived at the ceremony site with just 15 minutes left before her category was announced. “In the car, I just prayed for time. When I sat in the Grammy seat, my anxiety came out all at once. I was shaking a lot,” Ana revealed.
In addition to sharing the challenges of the Grammys, Ana Castela also spoke about her next steps in music. Considered one of the most surprising voices in country music today, the singer has revealed an interest in exploring pop, without abandoning her “boiadeira” roots.
“I love pop culture, dance, shows. I think it’s all really amazing”he said. Ana emphasized that she intends to balance different musical styles to make her shows livelier, but also to deliver exciting music. “There has to be a balance between livening up the ballads and bringing those sadder songs that touch the heart,” explained.
While she admires international strategies like Taylor Swift’s “eras,” Ana recognizes the challenges of adopting this format in Brazil. “I think it’s really cool. We thought about doing something like that, but it’s more complicated here. Anyway, we’re planning.”
