As Mexicans, we’re just moved by music.Īs a represenatitive of our culture, do you feel a responsibility to represent Mexico at the highest levels?Īlways. There’s nothing like Mexican music, I don’t want to disrespect any other genre, but there’s nothing like Música Mexicana. When I hear these songs I want to drink some tequila but I can’t because I’m in training but I feel that passion for being Mexican. Do you feel this connection with this patriotism when you listen to these songs? You are someone who represents Mexico on an international level. But when I’m outside of it: I’m a romantic, I sing. When I get in the ring I transform into another person. Talk to me about Canelo outside of the ring. But this music shows a side that’s a lot softer. When we think of someone like Canelo, we think of this tough person. I like listening to calmer music with good lyrics. Rock and things like that, right? Things that sound like motivation? To be honest, I love listening to romantic music. I was shown a playlist of songs that you listen to before entering the ring. I want to be one of the best in the history of boxing and I’m on my way to that. Having new challenges is what moves me forward. What is motivating you on the personal side as you prepare?

Álvarez cracks a smile when talking about the songs he chose. There’s a pair of songs from Calibre 50 alum Edén Muñoz - the swaying “ Creo En Ti” about being committed to a love interest - and a trio of tracks by Carín León, including album bonus track “ Qué Más Puedo Pedir.” There’s breakup ballad “ Ya Acabó” by Marca MP with Becky G. But much more mellower ones than we anticipated. What he sent us, though, was a list of Mexican songs, yes.
Or self-empowering songs: “El Rey” by Vicente Fernández? Maybe some pumped-up corridos, since he’s so proud of his Mexican heritage. When Rolling Stone asked Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez to share his pre-fight playlist with us ahead of his much-anticipated match against Gennady Golovkin on Saturday, we had some assumptions about what we’d get.
