Becoming a grandfather changed the life of salsa singer Víctor Manuelle twice, as this experience helped to strengthen their marriage.
Little Dylara Valentina was born in December 2020 and is the first born of her daughter Yanishka.
“It simply came to our notice then. With the pandemic (covid-19), I had time to dedicate myself to this “full” grandfather’s job. It’s the most beautiful thing that can happen, it’s a completely different feeling, I can’t explain it to you. It is the same explanation my father gave me to rest in peace: “When you have a grandson, you will be able to experience it.” It completely transforms your life “, said the singer Spokesman.
Although he never thought he would live like this, “I knew he would be a very special grandfather because I saw in my father the best grandfather in the world. I know what to do, but I didn’t know it touched you so hard. Sometimes I think of the occasion when he should have been a great-grandfather, that he would have pampered her incredibly ”.
“With the pandemic, I had time to dedicate myself to this full-time job as a grandfather.”
Boogaloo Supreme’s voice ensures that the whole family is like him, crazy about Dylara Valentina. Even his wife Frances Franco, whom he married on January 22, after 20 years of acquaintance and 13 years of living together.
Regarding the different feelings with Frances, after he got married, he commented that “the girl had a lot of influence, because Frances is more of a grandmother than me. None of us had seen each other in this facet and it comes with marriage. See her with the baby talking to her, because you start to see other things that you did not enjoy with your partner and you continue to solidify. It is ironic that this pandemic is a difficult time. But for us, as a couple, she brought many beautiful things, and the family was united by the child. I enjoy my child and my married life, which is completely different ”.
Feminist theme
On the other hand, for the first time he united his voice with that of India in the single Victims the two.
“It simply came to our notice then. But we’ve been developing it for a long time, I said we wanted to do something together. In fact, I was waiting for the right song because if I was to play with India, it had to be a strong theme. I didn’t want India to sing a strawberry song with me “, stressed Sonero from Juventud.
For this reason, he sat down to compose with Juan José Hernández and they gave life to the musical.
“It was created to play with India. It’s a pretty strong theme. They are both victims because each of them is living a deception because they are telling a story. But neither knows the other. The other is not either because for them the two are the couple “, he explained.
Being the Salsa princess, they wrote the feminist theme.
“I’m a fan of India and its music, which makes me happy when I take men and touch the floor (in songs like My most revenge),” he said.
The video premieres today at 18:00 on Victor’s YouTube channel.
“The video captures all that drama and tension, in a restaurant where I end up with a couple, which is the Venezuelan actress Scarlet Ortiz and India is there and confronts me. The two start to find out about the other’s existence and I, in my role as a liar, deny it “, he mentioned about the plot.
The set includes 20 dancers acting as tables, choreographed by Tito Ortos. They are integrated “with a half-theatrical choreography, with all the tension. The video I know will give an incredible complement to the song because it is very descriptive ”.
Even in filming, salsero won a slap from Scarlet.
“The palm was real, so it didn’t look fake. The one I wanted to slap was India, because of the character, but she didn’t want to in any way. He said, “No, Victor, I have a lot of affection for you, you’re a very dear person and I don’t want to be seen hurting you,” he recalls with a laugh.
The singer wants – as soon as the covid-19 emergency passes – to perform the song live in a concert of his or India’s “because the audience will enjoy it very much”.
He is on stage in Puerto Rico in front of his fans at the end of the year, because he already did it a month ago, with limited space in Miami, and on May 8 he will be at the Salsera Fair in Orlando.
“These days, the phone has been moved for meetings. We will see how it flows, it seems that the expectations are for October, November, December in Puerto Rico, some things are being done “, he said.
In the meantime, he has finished an album that includes the single mentioned above, which he intends to present in the summer.
