The Puerto Rican singer Ile, known for her participation in the group Calle 13 alongside her brothers, will visit Mexico for the first time as a solo artist. After a successful career with Calle 13 and her launch as a solo artist with hits like 'Caníbal' and 'Te Quiero Con Bugalú', the performer is preparing to meet her Mexican fans.
In an interview, Ile shared that she was waiting for the right moment to perform solo and confessed that sometimes the difficult things are what are most worth it. On April 9, 2025, Ile will perform at the Lunario of the National Auditorium to offer the best of her repertoire, which includes collaborations with artists like Mon Laferte, with whom she recorded the song 'Traguito'.
Regarding her collaboration with Mon Laferte, Ile mentioned that they met when they were nominated for the Grammys in the category of 'Best New Artist'. After writing a breakup song, she decided to invite Mon to collaborate, and together they had the opportunity to sing it in Puerto Rico. Tickets for her concert in Mexico are selling out quickly, so she advises purchasing them in advance.
As for her music, Ile highlights that she seeks to empower women in her compositions. She states that her lyrics reflect her concerns and that music is a tool for life and connection that aims to accompany those who feel unprotected. Regarding the messages of hate from the U.S. government, Ile expresses her frustration and calls to combat the hate and narcissism of rulers.
Additionally, the song 'Vienen a verme', performed by Ile, is part of the soundtrack of the series 'El Chapo' on Netflix. Ile mentions that the platform approached her to create a version of the song in a unique and successful experience, as her proposal was the one selected among several presented by different artists.
About a possible return of Calle 13, Ile leaves the decision of reuniting as a group to her brothers.
