"To all of you who have made Pacific Master Beat possible,  thank you very much for believing that inside is where it is made. Always be proud of where you come from, making noise like those who ignore the power of our music and all it can accomplish.”

“The truth? At first is I didn’t know anything about music production and now - after Pacific Master Beat - I know everything and I understand it and now I can produce all these great women who are going to take the whole Pacific around the world. Let 's do it.”

"I believe the only way to save the territory is by telling our stories and sounds now. For the boys who learn to play piano from eight years old in the Pacific. To the young man who learns to play marimba at 15. Young people move to the cities and the territory weakens, because no one can share that knowledge. Last year, one of my friends, Esnaider Castillo, was murdered at 25 years old. He was already a teacher. We don’t when we leave and that’s why it’s important to start telling these stories now.

“This is not a prize of mine, this is a prize for Chocó. Music has been my life partner. I grew up with music, I cried with music and I believe that music is the life bridge of people born in remote lands.” 

“Art is the means to concentrate and not look at other paths, and we women are to fight here too (...) I always dreamed of being a music producer and I remember when I saw producers in Quibdó and there were no women: I said but why? Is it that women are afraid? Or is it because sometimes they deny us spaces? And I think it is the latter. It’s time for all of us to raise our hands. It’s not that men do it badly, but we do it better.”

“We are diverse, and we learned throughout this process to share, to learn from each other, to listen to our voices, to combine rap, traditional music and all the music that surrounds us. Thanks to all of Pacifico Master Beat for making this possible. África!”

“It’s vital that as women we shake off the NOs that have been imposed on us historically, Today our girls say I want to be, I want to reach. Because there are those who have driven us and given us strength.  Go ahead women: music IS for women, production IS for women. We can have children, be wives, make music, tour and travel. We can do everything. Don’t let yourselves be fooled.”
