It just went diamond and is five times platinum. The song is called “Bajito.” I invited Ky-Mani Marley to be on the record with me. Sometimes I will talk and the Spanglish is inevitable for me. JC: I always try to integrate the English language into my Spanish stuff. Bob Marley’s son was in one of your songs, correct? We have a partnership with Republic Records and we are working on the English album as we speak. Thankfully some doors opened when many closed. That is the world where he was looking for opportunity for me. My dad was being my manager and spoke primarily in Spanish. I actually sang in English before I did in Spanish. I was born and raised in this country though.

My career in Spanish is my bread and butter right now. JN: Would you like to do English crossover songs? She was twerking and grinding like she was 15. She was turned up harder than us! We were partying and drinking, then this lady was going in. JN: I watched the video for “Pa Que Me Invitan.” Who was that little old lady in the rainbow swimsuit? When I can do that and acting it is a yes from me. I love music and it is primarily what I do.

There are talks about a US tour coming up. JC: Oh my god, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. JN: How was the experience of The Passion? I went to Miami then flew back to New York to do two shows, then came here. I unfortunately had two friends that passed away that same week. JC: I was just at Macy’s in New York doing the event there. She has been such a huge supporter of my career, along with Emilio. JN: I spoke to Gloria Estefan about Cuba in the past. That is the reason we are doing this with Macy’s this month. That is part of this new generation as well. I am a hundred percent American and a hundred percent Latino. I love my red, white, and blue, and I love my stars, and stripes. Thanks to that we are here in the best country in the world. My dad had to cross those 90 miles in that sea. I am grateful to my parents for taking that leap and risking their lives to come to this country. I can say right now that I feel their pain but you can never really feel it unless it happens to you. I think this new generation wants peace and heal these wounds. Still there is repression and a lack of freedom of speech. We have people in jail because they think differently or speak up about what their political views are. One thing is the grudge of my parents and grandparents having to go through so much of the regimen that is still in Cuba today. They take road trips together all the time. I think that is something that has crossed over into this new generation. JC: As Cubans our tradition is family values. JN: Since this is a Hispanic Heritage event, how do you balance old school Cuban ways with current times? When my dad became a US citizen he said my last name is Cinnamon now! My friends mess with me all the time and call me Jencarlos Cinnamon. JN: Your last name means cinnamon in English? He sat down for a quick chat at Macy’s to discuss his new song “Pa Que Me Invitan.”
