Olenka Cuba and Leonard Leon They go to meet the future, they have a daughter and to the rhythm of cumbia, the girl who loves salsa assumes the role of companion for everyday life and also in her work in music. A love story told by both.

OLENKA: MY FRIENDS TOLD ME THAT I WAS AN ASSHOLE…
Olenka, how many terrible fights?
Like every relationship there have been problems, but we have never fought because a third person got involved.
So?
For work. When we do not agree, disagreements arise.
What are you talking about?
The thing is that I am his representative, I make the contracts and what he sees as an artist, I see from the administrative side.
Do you worry about your image?
Sure, I’d like him to go to the gym, but he doesn’t like it.
Do you notice their food?
Yes, because before me, he has eaten anything.
What do you recommend?
Let him clean his skin, but he doesn’t pay attention.
Anything else you criticize?
When we argue, within 3 minutes he is already making jokes.
Criticize yourself.
I am resentful and I do not forget.
Do you enliven it with some good dishes?
I am zero in the kitchen.
And the?
It’s very good and that’s the only place where it’s orderly.
Your best ‘presentation’?
Chicken soup, with plenty of vegetables.
Cleanliness fanatic?
That’s how it is. I admit that I am manic.
Let’s go to the beginning, did you surrender to the touch with its charms?
It took him a year and a half to be with me.
Oh really?
He invited me to go to Ica and in a hotel he had set aside a double room.
Did they sleep together?
No. He thought she was that type of woman he was used to.
And what happened?
I rested in that bed, but with my friend.
What concept did your friends have of that ‘little angel’?
They told me I was an idiot…
I see it well, keep moving forward.
I have repeated to him: A woman can help you or also destroy you, bring you down.
Now how does he behave?
Like every professional. If you drink, toast with unfrozen beer, to protect your voice.
A hug and now it’s your partner’s turn.
Thanks for being here. The first interview was when we just got together and time has passed and we continue to grow as a couple and family.

LEONARD: WE ARE GETTING MARRIED AND WE WILL CHARGE THE STORK AGAIN
On a white sofa, Leonard listens to his wife’s statements and sometimes interrupts with a joke that breaks the formality of the conversation. That’s how it is, I think it’s the hallmark of a happy and fun boy about him.
Does she manage your finances?
He’s my manager, he’s already learned the business.
Do you disagree a lot over work issues?
Sometimes, but she is stubborn as a mule and no one makes her change.
And is it the same with family fights?
It takes 48 hours for the anger to pass.
A defect?
She’s quite serious, she’s not funny and that’s why we clash.
When that happens, do they send you to the room?
Never. Of course, little pot after little pot.
A detail?
He can’t see me going out with unironed clothes and having everything in its place. That is also a sign of love.
A good househusband?
I cook and clean.
Does he help you prepare food?
The other day I went to pick up my daughter from school and asked her to turn off the pot in five minutes.
Did?
I came back and everything had burned.
Are you the most affectionate?
Yes, but with fun.
She told me that it was difficult for you to conquer her.
I renamed her ‘Wild Pony’, difficult to ride.
That trip to Ica didn’t go as planned.
I thought he accepted, he already knew what he was going for.
Did you renounce?
I realized that she was a lady, even in the slightest.
For example?
He wasn’t one to celebrate a joke by slapping palms with his friend. She had another education.
His ‘pinkys’ told him that you were an asshole.
But they ate and drank when they accompanied her to my invitations. On top were ‘huascas’.
They are getting married?
Yes, we will reunite the family.
What have you learned all this time?
Know how to choose your life partner.
What is your pride?
Having consolidated a home that has been around for 9 years. And now we are going to ‘order the stork’.
What new topic are you presenting to us?
It is titled ‘A woman like you’ and is dedicated to all the ladies who are the complement of every man.
How did we get to that song?
On all my platforms and social networks.
A handshake and congratulations.
Greetings to all the women of our Peru, they deserve all the respect.
I interviewed them when they just started their story, today with a daughter, I find them firm. I think they go through life with the philosophy of don Mario Benedetti: ‘Because on the street side by side, we are much more than two‘.
