What Sandra, Duki’s mother, said about the singer’s first steps
-One of the most sought after and most emotional voices is that of Sandra, Duque’s mother, how are you Sandra, dear?
-Very good, excited, nervous, until the show is over, I always have a little nerves.
-Look, I’m getting chills. My mother was happy and excited because I am here in Madrid, covering. I can’t imagine you being the mother of the person responsible for filling a stadium outside of Argentina.
-Yes, in addition to being a mother, I feel very proud as an Argentine, because I think what my son and a lot of people of his generation who are making urban music and transcending borders are doing is transcendent. They really deserve recognition, it’s important.

-When you saw him in those first… In those first escapades to the square that he was beginning to get involved in this, what did you say to him? What advice did you give him? Did you imagine that it was going to become such an incredible madness?
-No, no, never ever. No, she didn’t measure it. I didn’t understand their world much. She didn’t understand it clearly. I mean, it took a while for me to realize that he was someone recognized in a place and in a style that I didn’t understand, because I didn’t know what freestyle was. When he started going to the Fifth Step and won, he told me “Mom, I can’t go anymore because the boys run away from me, like a thousand kids run away from me” and I said… “he’s crazy.”
-Did you get to see him in any of those competitions?
-No. He didn’t make me very involved either, because he was in full adolescence, he was in his world, and We fought a lot because I didn’t study. I got angry with him because I didn’t understand what he was doing.

-You are very important to him, he said it in the interview and we all ended up crying after seeing you excited, after seeing him excited too. What is it like to accompany such a public person? Because a mother’s love is always there, and I imagine it must be difficult for him to maintain that too.
-It is very difficult for everyone. For him, for the family, we have all accompanied him. His father, his brothers, me. There are good moments and there are very difficult moments. Fame takes away many things from you, success takes away many things from you. It takes away your anonymity, right? That possibility of going out into the street, going to eat something. Of course, for example, we get used to the fact that we cannot go to eat anywhere. We need to go to a place where they give us an exclusive space. So, well… today I think that at this stage I am enjoying it a lot because I see him very well, I see him in his axis… And well, precisely the question that I asked him the other day was because I often asked myself, Why did people love him so much? and I think because he is authentic. My job was a bit like that, to tell him “Don’t forget who you are, kid.” Sometimes the fact of not being able to share certain normal spaces puts you in another place, so he tries to do normal things, let’s say, normal in anyone’s life and I always encouraged that, contact with everyday life. For example, I love it when I go to his house and see that Emilia cooks and he washes the dishes..
-Those things that should not be lost…
-Exactly, those things that we mothers look at because for me the most important thing is the physical and mental integrity of my son. Then comes everything else. I always tried to look at that and preserve that.
-Just as you asked your son in the middle of the press conference that makes him so special, what does he say that makes you special as his mother?
-I don’t know, you would have to ask him.
-What are you going to tell him after the show?
-I am very affectionate with my three children, I am intense, I am dense, you see? one of those mothers who hug them, grab them and Mauro lets me do that a lot.

– And that’s what I was going to tell you, that I left you as a teenager… you saw that sometimes it’s “Mom, I got out of here.” In this case it is “Mom, come.”
-No, he had that moment when he told me “Mom, don’t touch me all over the street because I’m ashamed.”
-And how did the press conference happen? How were you convinced to participate?
-They asked me… and nothing, I’m very spontaneous… then I regret it sometimes, you see? For example, when I saw him get so excited, I thought, “Oops, what did I say?”
