The sexy Romanian singer visited Mexico and we took the opportunity to chat with her about her favorite food, movies and music.
Romanian by birth, Mexican by adoption. The bond that Inna has created with the Mexican public has positioned her as one of the most successful European performers of the moment on the national scene. Thanks to singles like “Sun is Up”, “Un momento”, “Déjà Vu”, “Hot” and “Caliente”, among many others, Elena Alexandra Apostoleanu, aka Inna, has reached the top of the charts locally and internationally, thus earning the nickname of the "Queen of Dance". And not to mention her live performances of her, which have made their thousands of Mexican followers dance, shaking, incidentally, the venue that houses each of their shows.
Thus, Inna decided to start 2016 on the right foot and not miss the opportunity to visit the Aztec land in order to soak up all the love and energy that the public makes her feel just step on our country. A few hours after her presentation at the Pepsi Center in Mexico City, we had the opportunity to talk with the European, so that he would tell us not only about his musical tastes, but also about his favorite food and some anecdotes that he has had throughout his career, as well as the love he feels for Mexico and the rest of the Latin countries, love that has led her to study Spanish to speak it almost perfectly.
Inna, this is your visit number ...
I do not remember. There are already many. I think there are more than ten.
So, are you already more Mexican than tequila?
Sure - laugh.
What is your favorite word in Spanish?
Maravilloso.
Why that one?
Because it's maravilloso - laughe.

I don't have a favorite word. I think everything is very natural.
Four years ago I talked to you and you told me that you had learned Spanish thanks to Mexican soap operas...
Exacto. Así fue.
What you didn't tell me was which ones you saw ...
Didn't I tell you? How?
No, you didn't tell me. What's more, I waited four years to ask you this question ...
I can't believe it - laughs. No, the truth is that I don't even remember their names anymore.
One of the first lessons when someone learns a language is that of "bad words." Do you already know any in Spanish?
Of course. Yes I know some.
Which?
All. I can't tell you, because then you're going to write: Inna knows this and that, but she also uses these words. No! - She laughs.
What is your favorite place in Mexico City?
This area, that of Polanco.
Describe, in three words, your Mexican fans ...
Hot, partying and ... ¡Maravillosos!
Any favorite Mexican dish?
Of course… tacos!
Of which?
Of which it is. They don't sell tacos here at the hotel, that's crazy. But outside, in the street, there are some men who sell some very good ones. They are the best!
Tequila or vodka?
Neither option. I prefer beer.
Which one?
Corona ... The most Mexican.
What was the last movie you saw at the cinema?

Oops I do not remember. Wait, let me see on my iPhone. It was one of Justin Bieber ... It's that of ... "Love Yourself".
Today, what is your favorite song from your repertoire?
"Rendez Vous".
What is the worst part of being famous?
There is no bad part ... Well yes, having to get on a plane, because they panic.
And what do you do to overcome that fear?
Nothing, I can't do anything. I have to be strong.
And the best part?
Do interviews - laugh - and do concerts.
I guess the fans are one of the best parts too, right?
But of course I do the interviews and concerts for them.
A moment ago, before I came in here to talk to you, I saw that they brought you a gift from your fans. What was it?
It was this little box that I have here, with some delicious macaroons.
What's the craziest thing a fan has done for you?
Travel from Mexico to Romania to go to a concert. It's not easy, huh. For starters, it's 15 hours of flight or more.
Speaking of Romania, what is your favorite place in your native country?

Michael Jackson.

"Inna La Loca"… But the crazy one in a good way and in a funny way, eh.

So anyone but that?
No, the truth is that I like what they do, but I'm not going to say that… Hmm… I'll stick with Coldplay.
Since music reality shows are in vogue, would you like to participate in one, as a critic?
No, the truth is that I have a lot to learn in musical matters, before I sit down to criticize the work of others. Also, I travel a lot on my tours, so it would be impossible.
Speaking of which, what is your favorite city in the whole world?
Mexico City.
