Netflix reveals the trailer for Karol G’s documentary: glamor or sweat?
Finally, Netflix has decided that we deserve a behind-the-scenes look at the life of Karol G, because, of course, what would we do without knowing how a reggaeton star suffers while selling millions of records? The documentary “Mañana Fue Muy Bonito” (how original, right?) promises to show us the “hard” path of the Colombian singer while she was recording her album “Mañana Sera Bonito” and traveling the world on a stadium tour. Spoiler: it will probably include tears, private planes and the occasional selfie with fans.
The director explains: “Karol G wanted to be honest, but not too honest”
Cristina Costantini, the mind behind this project (and before a documentary about Walter Mercado, because diversity is key), assures that Karol G insisted on not sugarcoating reality. “I wanted to show the difficulties,” he says. Translation: we will see the artist tired, but with perfect hair, and perhaps some moments of stress before going on a stage illuminated by thousands of phones. What a sacrifice!
Among the luxury guests are Shakira (because no Colombian production is complete without her), Becky G, the producer Ovy on the Drums (yes, that’s her real name) and, of course, Karol’s parents and her boyfriend, Feid, so that there is no shortage of family drama. Are we betting there will be an emotional scene where the singer cries saying “I did it for you”?
The documentary, produced by This Machine (subsidiary of Sony Pictures Television), has luxury equipment. Because, obviously, filming a superstar isn’t something you can do with an iPhone and a $20 tripod.
Since his debut in 2017 with “Unstoppable” (pure irony, considering that he is now unstoppable), Karol G has conquered the Billboard 200 and collaborated with half the planet. The secret? Combine reggaeton, pop and R&B while smiling for the cameras. Brilliant.
Do you want to see how a star complains between cotton? Don’t miss the premiere on May 8 on Netflix. And if you like it, share it on social networks, because the algorithm is always watching.
