Arcángel Plays Fishing for Answers | Billboard

Arcángel answers some questions while at RUMBAZO and shares who his celebrity crush is, his reaction to seeing Jay-Z and Beyonce, and more!

Hi, I’m Arcángel La Maravilla and I’m playing Fishing for Questions. I’m going to fish out the first one. Name a time in which you were excited to see an artist? I had the chance to go to the best boxing fight in history. Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather. Right here in Las Vehas. And I was like really close to them, I had the opportunity to be very close. And Michael Jordan passed me by, Jay-Z and Beyonce. I’ve always been a big fan of Jay-Z. I’ll always be. And Jordan is like… I grew up with him, I got very excited because they passed me by and I even thought I could take some of their aura to see if I could get something to stick. A couple of their millions. Who was your first celebrity crush? It was probably my mom. Yes, my mom is the… the first artists. For those who don’t know, my mother sang merengue before I even knew how to speak. My mom gave up her dream as an artist belonging to one of the most important groups in the history of Latin music. The first female group, Las Chicas de Nueva York and Las Chicas de Can, under the direction of the great master Wilfrido Vargas. That’s where I come from. My mom didn’t want to sing. My mother wanted to have me.
