He is only 27 years old and may not sound familiar to many in Spain, but the rapper Duki, born in Buenos Aires, is about to fill the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. It will be this Saturday when the greatest exponent of Argentine rhymes fill the madridista coliseumto which he feels a special prick, despite having been able to pack the Boca Juniors stadium in his hometown. “I didn’t feel the reality of what it means to do a Bernabéu until I got here,” commented the rapper, for whom it is a dream to perform in the stadium.
“What brought me here is my people” was the response of an excited Duki to a question posed by his own mother in a press conference in which he explained that the reason for his success is his loved ones and that he is a “free person” thanks to their support, reports EFE. In a press conference at the Santiago Bernabéu, Duki highlighted the support received throughout his career and the respect that has always been shown to him, which It has helped him remain “the same person he was” when he started his career.
A concert for which tickets sold at a dizzying rate, although it does not contemplate the possibility of doing a second. “We’re fine with one,” said the singer, who believes that with just one night he can enjoy himself more because he doesn’t have to worry about another, something that could overwhelm him on the first date. Without hiding the nerves from him, Duki has explained that he values that feeling of excitement that he thought he would not feel after his concerts at the Boca Juniors stadium, a moment in which he even wondered if it would be the peak of his career.
A career in which he has not sought to follow trends. “I don’t consider myself a mainstream person,” commented the artist, who specified that he tries to make his audience feel identified with his music. and with its Argentine customs, which the Spanish public seems to have assimilated, something it had not noticed on previous occasions. “It’s very nice that they wait for you at the hotel with a T-shirt from Argentina,” the rapper has given as an example, for whom assuming “cultural traits” from a country as far away as his is explained because there are “many things in common in our DNA.”
He also wanted to give advice to new artists who are trying to make a name for themselves in the musical scene, a process “long and difficult” in which you have to work a lot but, above all, “enjoy and have fun.” Because becoming a singer just to try to achieve success is “killing music.”
