A
Ptazeta
(1998) shyness lasts a second. Smiling and determined, her character overflows after barely crossing a couple of sentences. In just a few months,
the Canarian singer has gone from anonymity to success thanks to
Mami
, a song in which she sings to a woman and which has been a viral phenomenon in the midst of the pandemic. The single already accumulates
more than 60 million reproductions
on digital platforms and has put
Zuleima González González
-her real name- on the radar of the industry, the media and the public.
"What I
have noticed the
most
is to stop working as a waitress 14 hours, 16, 12 ... Putting up with people. I know how much 50 euros is
, which is what I was charging for 10 hours of work, and now, damn it, I'm value otherwise ", he says proudly. Although he confesses: "at times
everything has been so suddenly that, it has not come to surpass me, but it has unbalanced me"
.
Born in
Arucas
, in the north of Gran Canaria, he says that it was not until a couple of years ago that he took his artistic vocation seriously. Before, he survived by working in bars, clothing stores or video games. "Come on, what was coming out there, like any person," he says. He even
came to appear at the casting of Big Brother
when he came of age: "a little more and I fall inside. I stayed on point, but
thank goodness
because everything would have been different.
There I was completely convinced -and I still- that I know win the show
.
"
His success cannot be understood without
Juacko
,
also from the Canary
Islands
, his producer, who gave him all the guidelines to bring his lyrics to music and next to whom he has made a niche for himself on the urban scene.
They have already released more than a dozen songs and a large part exceeds one million reproductions.
"
I used to just write. Maybe I would fill out a sheet of insults or scratches of the shit that happened to me
. But I met him and he gave me some advice that was impressively good for me."
If I like women, what do I sing about?
Curiously,
Mami
, the single that catapulted them to success, was kept in a drawer for months. Once it was released, it took a few weeks for the internet to work its magic. It began to be shared and the hitherto unknown
Ptazeta went on to lead the list of Hits Spain on Spotify
. "It was a super cool thing, but a bit strange. With the Covid I had the feeling of being lost because you are in the same place as always, but everything moves around."
One of the
things that have attracted the most attention Ptazeta's lyrics is that they are directed at women
.
Always clearly, without ink measurements.
"If I like women, what do I sing about?"
"I don't know, I thought: why don't they do this if it's the most natural thing in the world?
It's true that I've seen people who I know are open in that sense and maybe they've done the opposite to please. That was the fault. I think you have to show yourself as you are. "
Ptazeta gives
Ivy Queen
as an example
, "if she had never sung, we probably didn't sing either", and points out that although "there are paths for certain people that are more difficult, it is all about breaking doors and overcoming ourselves".
"
I've always said that they camouflage our eyes with a bandage of progress that doesn't really exist
. I don't know if you understand me. They talk about progress and then I see such disparate things on TV, on social networks ... What do I say: wow You think that people are super advanced, but no.
It is our generation that has to have another approach because, if not, there is no progress
. "
As for the future, she is cautious.
After the illusion of celebrating the
first concert of his career - it was last April at La Riviera
-, he does not want to reveal his plans.
"I prefer that I go 'bang' all of a sudden and people find something and say 'wow', but I don't set any goals. As far as I can go I'm going to push forward."
