Invi: I am fortunate to have traveled almost all the entire national territory at least once to each state since I started with my group “Kultura Santa” until today.
Astrid: What is the goal in your lyrics?
Invi: From the beginning I have learned that it is important to take care of what is transmitted to the listeners, always the focus is to leave a message or interesting content to listen to that can help you nourish yourself with something new or that you do not know as references of general culture or cinema and music, that motivates others to grow, Also give points of view that when you hear it have perspectives and anecdotes that many can identify but always putting your touch of originality and authenticity when you express it.
Astrid: Would you do this for the rest of your life?
Invi: Of course, there is no going back, more and more you are learning and advancing little by little, I would not feel good doing something I do not like.
For me a great honor to be able to share with Invi, I invite you to follow it on your social networks.
