Nacho confesses to EL UNIVERSO: “I had two loves in Ecuador”

It was a Saturday night, before the concert by Colombian Carlos Vives, when the affirmative answer to our interview request led us to one of the suites from a hotel in Guayaquil to talk in person with Miguel Ignacio Mendoza Donattifull name of the Venezuelan artist Nacho, who returned to Ecuador last weekend, a country to which he is usually invited and where he is hired to offer public and private shows.

Contrary to what one might think of an international star, Nacho is a simple man. He likes the good life, he tells us, but also pleasures as common as going to the supermarket. “It doesn’t matter if I have to take a thousand photos on the way: I take them, but I go out and do my things,” he admits. That simplicity with which he prefers to handle himself sometimes upsets the logistics of his team when, for example, after the Show in Quito he diverted the group’s itinerary to go eat dried meat at a hollow in the capital. “It’s that there, in those places, they prepare them very well and I like it a lot,” says the 39-year-old singer-songwriter.

Dressed in a full denim looks for the show to which he was scheduled to arrive after 9:00 p.m., Nacho greets us with the same warmth as a friend. He was finishing packing his bags to travel to Miami (the city where he will settle again), after his show at the Alberto Spencer stadium. There is time for confessions. He surprises us by saying that in two provinces of the country he discovered love for two Ecuadorians, relationships that were fleeting but intense.

Regularly involved in heart controversies by the international tabloids, the musician talks to us about his life, his loves and about womanizer dogthe recent single that he released after a controversial social experiment in which his current partner, Melany Mille, mother of his daughter Mya, also participated.

If womanizing dogs are known for being adventurous, what qualities do they have that attract women so much?

(Laughs before answering.) If we go directly to the subject to which the song refers, the “womanizer dogs” usually have some kind of grace, charisma, some sex appeal and very good lip.

The topic womanizer dog Does he tell us about a man who changes for love, who confesses that he is weak in the face of temptation or who lets himself be carried away by his instincts?

I think all three, right. Let’s see, he changed for love but he doesn’t stop accepting that before he found that person for whom it was worth changing, he was a complete womanizer dog, and in a certain way he continues to be, because it’s not that he’s denying his attraction to other people , but you are deciding not to break your commitment; and the other is that he lets himself be carried away by instinct, yes. Love too: apart from a feeling, I think it’s something instinctive too, and if the instinct tells you that you have to try to live up to fidelity or try to live up to the responsibility that comes with entering a relationship, then the instinct leads you to that also. Obviously it admits to being weak, but by admitting itself to be weak, it is becoming stronger, because the first step towards changes is acceptance, you know?: if you don’t realize what you are, what are your defects and what are your virtues, then, it is more difficult to evolve towards the positive.

There is a phrase that says: “The fox changes the prey but not the trick.” Does the womanizing dog change?

I think so. At the end of the day, what you do is focus your attention on just one person, but you’re still a puppy, even if it’s with just one person.

What is the Achilles heel of every “womanizer dog”?

To stay a dog or to stop being one? (laughs). I think that he sex appeal or all the factors of attraction, such as intelligence, physical beauty from the perspective of each person. And to stop being so, I think the Achilles heel is love.

For men who claim to be conquerors par excellence, are there unconquerable women?

Yes I think so. It’s hard to know what kind. There are people who perhaps want to move forward in relation to others, but understand that this person is not good for them and apply all the spiritual and mental strength they need to block the entry of that human being into their life, despite the fact that they feel extremely attracted or attracted, but is smart enough to know that someone is not good for her.

The premiere of this single occurred after a social experiment in which it was stated that his relationship with Melany Mille was going through an infidelity crisis. Why did they decide to handle it like this?

We decided to handle it this way because we demonstrated and, despite the fact that there are people who liked what we did or not, what can not be doubted is that people conclude by what they hear and not by what they see and you can try. If you tell a lie many times to a person, that lie before that person becomes an absolute truth and it is almost impossible to get them out of that perception. We show that when there is interesting news, in terms of gossip, in terms of media morbidity, and you keep trying to make believe that this news is true, everyone is going to stick to the situation, because everyone wants to tell a little bit of that story. So that’s what it was about.

We demonstrated it at the beginning. The media were reluctant, like “what will come here”, and already halfway there they began to believe, and not only to believe, but to reply; and in the reply there were a lot of people who said very negative things, asserting that this was a true story. We already understand that we don’t have to complicate ourselves because of what people can say, because everyone decides what the truth is and wants to believe.

How have you dealt with each of the avalanches of criticism, negative comments and posts that have been made talking about your romantic relationships? Where does he get that strength against him? bullying?

I believe that, without intending to get into religious issues or offend sensibilities about things that everyone wants to believe, I believe that God is the greatest strength that exists from my point of view. I believe a lot in God and I believe that everything that happens, good or bad, you have to see it from a positive perspective and understand why you are living to add a new teaching, a new knowledge. And I feel that this shielded me a lot, it strengthened me a lot. I wouldn’t change anything that happened; I think that if I had to live again, I would live exactly the same, because it has made me a stronger person spiritually. I don’t endorse that kind of thing, because I understand that there are people who have nothing to cling to and who have done very badly.

Everyone knows that due to cases of harassment in networks or bullying in social media There are people who die, who go into depression, and we have to keep that in mind, because I feel that we are becoming ruthless and cold.

In his song the phrase “You can also learn from bad things” is heard. If we follow that premise, after the end of a relationship, what is lost and what is gained? What have you lost or gained?

I think that what I’ve lost is what I don’t need in my life, you know? Let’s say that everything I feel is a loss, it’s simply something that God… —and I’m not referring to someone, but something— that God is taking me out of the way to clear that path, right. People have this weird perception that I’ve had a lot of relationships, and I don’t understand why. The real truth is that I have only had three serious relationships. My formal relationships have been the relationships I have had with the mothers of my children, and I see a lot of people free to have one relationship or another, and I see how many people applaud the ability of a person to fall in and out of love; And, excuse me for telling you, but we almost always applaud this situation, at this moment, for women. And I’m not saying it’s not right, but what’s good for the turkey is good for the turkey, too.

According to this perception, who recovers faster after ending a relationship: the man or the woman?

I believe that, at this moment in which we find ourselves in the world, women are ten times faster. Now I see more angry and hurt men than women. I suppose that so many years of enduring fights and discrimination and a lot of things have also reached this point, but you do have to find a balance. When something doesn’t work with a person, just move on and that’s it. The truth is that I have only had three formal relationships, and it is not that they have seen me with one and the other, so that everyone believes that I am a total womanizing dog.

You have had close ties to Ecuador… Did you ever have an Ecuadorian girlfriend? Has there been a compatriot who has fallen in love with you?

Yes of course. Twice. I had a love from here in Guayaquil and I had a love from Manabí.

With whom did you have a relationship?

Yes, but not to that level of formality.

What captivated you about them?

I don’t know whether to generalize, but they were very docile; they were not intense people; very understanding. Also, I think admiration is important for a relationship, and I also had great admiration for those two people, and I think they also had great admiration for me in a way.

What did the arrival of Mya bring to your life?

Mya brought only positive things and, well, she has filled me with patience, right, because Mya is very demanding and very dictatorial, she has a rather strong character, very different from the rest of the children, who are quite calm and calm. But she has added patience to me, that love wants everything and tolerates everything; obviously, putting myself in the position of her father and seeing her as a girl, well, don’t do what you don’t like to be done to you. And, well, now I see things differently, because as a father I would not want anyone to come here to hurt my daughter and break her heart, and obviously it is taught by her example.

What kind of experiences that you have had do you not want your children to experience?

I wish they didn’t have to try drugs, for example, that they didn’t need them. I wish they weren’t afraid of work, whatever the job. That they not depend on the opinions of others and that they just do what they need to do. That they tuck themselves in as far as the sheets reach them and that they don’t feel sorry for that. And, obviously, I would not want any of my children to suffer heartbreak or spite.

What is the best legacy you will leave your children?

Love without expecting anything in return. (AND)
