Growing up Latino? When he's Catalan/Spanish? Why not ask Adele how she liked growing up American 🤨

[@BrandonGali]

People from Spain are Latins too even when they're not from America. They're latins cause their language came from Latin. You dumbass

[@sheisveryfamous]

@@BrandonGali It's short for Latinoamericanos actually. Would you all Italians Latino? French Latinos?

[@antoniocruzteixeira]

i mean he agreed to do the video, @@sheisveryfamous, and his music is definitely latin-crossover. it's a grey area, maybe billboard can revisit this topic with an artist like rosalia?

[@ldgam]

Latino refers to the people that use a language derived from Latin.

[@ldgam]

@@sheisveryfamous ¿A qué te refieres con estar castellano en solitario?

[@marilynvdbroeck]

Ok I love Alvaro Soler but he's not Latino in the way the word Latino is used in English. Latino means Latin American or of Latin American descent. Look it up in any online English dictionary or wikipedia. Billboard is just using terms without knowing what they mean, or without caring what they mean. No hate to Alvaro Soler tho!!

[@SAACAAS]

Los Italianos son más "Latinos" que los Españoles o los descendientes de los Españoles (Hispanoamericano o Latinoamericano) Latino viene de Latín, el idioma que se hablaba en el Imperio Romano. También viene porqué la provincia Latium/Latio/Lazio/Lacio es la provincia de la ciudad de Roma y la capital de Italia y obviamente del Imperio Romano. Hispania (España y Portugal) era una Región importante del Imperio. Cuando los Españoles y Portugueses conquistaron América (Latinos-Hispanos) por eso el término Latino-Americano. Los gringos lo resumen en Latinos de ahí la confusión. Aunque ellos realmente los distinguen más por la "raza" cuando ser Latino es más una etnia o cultura. Realmente el gringo debería decir Indio, Amerindio, Mestizo, Mulato o simplemente Latinoamericano o Hispanoamericano. Porque Latino definitivamente no es una raza ni es exclusivo de ningun Américano. Lo mismo que un gringo no es un American...como ellos se autodenominan.

[@SAACAAS]

Latino is a historic word. The world is not only "English people". Latino is all Spanish people inclusive Spaniard (Spanish too no?). Latín is a old language. Spanish is a modern language derivates of the old latín. Latin American are named so because they talk spanish, Portuguese or other Romance language derivates of latín. English are very silly and jealouse. Americana are not only US Citizens. In your dictionary, American or North American is only a US Citizens, no? Lo que sois es unos prepotentes de mierda. Por eso tenéis esos diccionarios y esos libros de historia con post verdad o la Historia de los ganadores.

[@michaljezek2664]

True but most of Latin Americans are of European descent (Spanish/German/Italian).

[@lorena.3.19.22]

Spaniards are latin Europeans.. So really he is Latino 🤔 You are using the words wrongly, it's like when the citizens of the United States use the word "Americans" to define themselves when really Americans are all the people who inhabit the american continent

[@marilynvdbroeck]

@@lorena.3.19.22 You don't really have the right to tell people of a language that they are using the word incorrectly. In English, it is just used differently than in Spanish. You are welcome to use the word "American" to describe someone from Mexico, but nobody who speaks English will understand what you're saying.

[@bhagaskevin4231]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@dolmalhadon1141]

[@jamesjohnson5257]

great interview but maybe 'hispanic' would be a a better word? Hispanic means Spanish speaking, so it encompasses both Spain and Latin America. But latino solely means 'from Latin America', and he is clearly from Europe....totally different continent. As someone said in the comments you wouldn't ask Adele 'what its like to grow up American' just because she speaks English. The UK and US are different. Same with Spain and Latin America.

[@Tamiguchi]

Spaniards are Latinos. The word latino comes from the Italian region where Latin language was born. Italians, Portuguese, Spaniards, as well as Latin American people, are latinos too. Latin America got that name because of the Latin Europeans that conquered it. Otherwise, it wouldn't have Latin in the name and would be called something else. Just because latinoamericano is usually shortened to latino in the US, doesn't mean that the word latino doesn't have a wider meaning in other countries.

[@applebolima4185]

Well, they all speak Latin so they can be considered as Latino as well. Just saying

[@atencioatotselsestupids9063]

[@Tamiguchi]

The ignorance in this comment section is ridiculous. Spaniards ARE latinos. So are Italians, French, and Portugese people. They all speak languages derived from Latin. Latinoamericano is usually shortened to latino in the US, but that doesn't mean that the word latino doesn't have a wider meaning in the rest of the world.

[@eb.3764]

You're ignorant, there are different definitions on who you ask. Not to mention that nobody in their right mind thinks of the French as Latino

[@patricia54790]

LMAOO french, italians and spaniards are not latinos. They're language is latin but they themselves aren't

[@lorena.3.19.22]

Exactly! I am seeing that in America there is a lot of ignorance.. They live in their little world and don't realize that in Europe we use the word Latin to refer to countries with a Latin language.. 🙄

[@gabrielbarrios9024]

@@peterk3145 Exactly. They are just confused for Latin America, yet they don't realize that this region arose thanks to Latin Europe, mainly Spain and Portugal, which makes Latin America a branch of Latin culture. It's evident, but they are too stubborn to understand it.

How is his accent German when he grew up in spain

[@daniellowe4090]

It's the third culture kid accent you get from going to international school. A weird mashup of pan-european north american english. It sounds foreign to everyone. The germans will think his german accent sounds foreign too

How many languages does Alvaro speak? Lol

[@softwangji7518]

7, I think, and he's more or less fluent in all of them. Catalan, Spanish, French, Italian (his mother is spanish-belgian), German (his father is german), Japanese (they lived in Japan for seven years - from age 10 to 17) and English

@@Nich-ib7xv I wanna talk about Latin culture, which is the reason why this person is being interviewed... the interview is not about his skin colour. Native Americans or brown people as you called them did not invent the Latin culture. And they are called like that just because they are Americans who speak a Latin based language.

@@yowhatsdis Sure but im sick of people in the US that believe "hispanic" and "Latino" as race just because they speak spanish or portuguese but nit with the anglophones

[@gabrielbarrios9024]

@@Nich-ib7xv Well, you'll live frustrated for a long time if your ease depends on what they say. You shouldn't care, everyone knows they are not very cultivated individuals. By the way, Latin America and Latin Europe are strongly related culturally speaking. They are mainly Catholic societies that speak intelligible languages and share values as to considering paramount their families and their proclivity to celebrate more, such things... I'm not sure whether both regions are too different... For the vast majority of Latin American countries, who were viceroyalties obviously linked to Spain (and Portugal) for 300 years clearly they inherited very specific traits and their culture. I'm Mexican and I can tell you that some of my best friends are from Spain. I don't feel they are too different, but rather as if I were talking to other Mexican buddies when I'm with them. Cheers
