Gloria Trevi's career is that of an absolute diva, but with its scandals, its ups and downs, it is also that of a Phoenix Bird: "Sometimes feathers come out of my mouth," she once joked before María Casado . She is the singer of songs that have reached number one on the charts, four years in prison for a crime she did not commit, the premature death of her daughter: her life is like a good soap opera. On August 6, she will perform with Mónica Naranjo at the Starlite Festival, which makes her very excited: “I know Marbella well, but I've always been on vacation. After so long without touring or concerts, I want to give myself to the Spanish public”.
With so many backpacks behind him, the artist boasts of turning misfortunes into art, so we take advantage of the lyrics of his songs to get to know him better:
“Love is a vice. I am addicted to caresses.” Gloria laughs while she admits that hers is pure desire for physical contact: “Not only to caresses, to be crushed, to have my ribs broken with hugs. I am all or nothing, that is, I only allow it to the people I love.
"Neckline in front, neckline in back, but I only ask God not to be a criminal, but I'm not going to stay alone." Gloria takes a few seconds to answer, evaluating the answer: “Exactly. But what I really ask God is that if he is going to be a criminal, that at least he loves me. That he is delinquent with the others, that does not matter to me. I agree to record that her first husband, Sergio Andrade, was sentenced to 7 years and 10 months for kidnapping, aggravated rape and corruption of minors. Her current husband, the lawyer Armando Gómez, faces a complaint for money laundering.
“Rehearsing how to apologize”. We asked Gloria if forgiving is for cowards or for the brave. She is emphatic: “Brave. Both give and receive. Both asking for forgiveness and being forgiven. I have forgiven a lot, but I have only done it when they have asked me before. What I'm not going to do is forgive the asshole like that, while the other doesn't recognize his fault. No, because they don't value you. What I don't like is living with resentment."
Gloria works with a foundation named after her daughter, Ana Dalai, which helps children born in prison. Likewise, you are a fervent defender of the reintegration of those who have served their sentence. This is the case of Isabel Pantoja, whose story Gloria knows very well: “She served her sentence, she already forgot about the prison issue. You can't spend all the time stirring up the past because you've already suffered enough from the time you spent inside. It's not fair that they stigmatize her. But, well, for her it is still very recent, I lived through it 20 years ago and some have not forgiven me. The idea of seeing them singing together, like all the morbidity that would entail, has not crossed anyone's mind: “But I would love it. Isabel is a legend, she would be divine”.
small and happy
On Children's Day, Gloria published a tender photo of a little girl, with her white dress, her veil and with flowers in her hand: “That girl was very happy. I had a very nice childhood. My parents had not divorced and I was the spoiled one of my grandparents. They loved them more than my parents, because they were very generous, they pampered me a lot. I love the animals. She had a lot of fantasy, she danced ballet. That stage was rosy, then things went wrong." Gloria was the eldest of four siblings, whom she subjected to her eccentric games: "Sometimes I acted as a boy and dressed them as a girl, with my dresses and making them bows."

If Gloria spends some time in time and meets you again at this moment, we will not create a notice or warning: “I would watch her because the butterfly effect would scare me. She wouldn't tell her 'you're going to make it', she would let her learn on her own, because everything that happened to me, with all my mistakes, was important for me to be the woman I am now. Making mistakes, falling, getting up... It would be another if all that hadn't happened." In any case, there is a message for that girl in the song 'Grande', which she sings with Mónica Naranjo: “Someday I will grow up, now that I am big, rich, powerful…”.
But Gloria's dreams arose later: "It was in adolescence when I began to think of being someone loved by the public." And among that public, the artist is clear to whom she owes part of her success: “I owe a lot to the gay collective. We have a great connection because after going through jail, I came out with a huge stigma. Although it proves my innocence, I was marked. As the gay community has experienced discrimination and rejection, they were the first to shake my hand so I could get up. I will never forget that."
