Being able to see other Latinx artists stay true to themselves, she added, is progress worth noting.
“I’m honored to have pushed that door open a little bit more,” Gloria, 64, expressed. “For me, it was Carlos Santana, José Feliciano, Desi Arnaz—I was seeing him sing in Spanish on I Love Lucy when I was a kid and it was the top-rated show in America.”
She continued, “Those artists paved the way for me. So, to somehow have helped things get a little easier…I mean, I was thrilled to see Bad Bunny doing his acceptance speeches in Spanish and performing in Spanish and not having to adapt. That’s a wonderful move forward.”
As she summed it up, “I love to see Latinos succeeding in anything that they do, so I’m very happy that it’s moving in that direction.”
