CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso Chat Starting Fresh With ‘FREE SPIRITS’ Over Lunch in NYC | Takes Us Out

Argentine duo CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso sit down at Planta in Queens, New York City for an unforgettable lunch interview. The two open up about their new album ‘Free Spirits', their Grammy-winning year, their dramatic "We Quit" announcement, and how spending time with Sting completely transformed their lives. They also share wild stories from their 60-date world tour, their first time playing New York's Bowery Ballroom, and their upcoming show at Radio City Music Hall. Plus: the story behind their collab with Anderson .Paak, Jack Black showing up as a baby in their music video, a hilarious cut song about a Nintendo Switch addiction, and why they call themselves "throat actors." Production note: Some statements in this interview were made by the artists playfully and in character — including an alleged removal of face tattoos and a mentoring relationship with Sting — and should not be taken literally. 0:00 Intro & Shoutouts 0:49 Welcome to New York – Arriving at Plant the Queen 1:18 Talking Free Spirits & Why Plant the Queen? 2:38 Argentina's Rap Battle Scene & Quinto Escalón 3:52 Lady Gaga Comparisons & Lyric Inspirations 6:55 Ordering Food & Sake at Plant the Queen 7:37 Are They Vegan?
