Social issues have not escaped the interpreter of "Arrasando" either. That is why it will now be part of the third edition of the Latin Grammy in the Schools initiative, a program that seeks to encourage young people from Latin America to follow their dreams in music.

The program will benefit two schools at the same time. One in Mexico City and another in Corpus Christi, Texas, where the late singer Selena Quintanilla studied.

THALIA AND THE PANDEMIC
As part of everything unusual and unexpected that happened in 2020, Thalía, who is not very assiduous in giving her political opinion in public, spoke on networks at the beginning of this year to make a harsh criticism of the current government on the way in the one that the Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, managed the pandemic.
Despite this, Sodi assures that his intention is not to talk about politics, but about the things that as a human being worry him and that is why he has also been part of campaigns against gender violence, for example.
"I talk about what worries me but not about politics. My flag is the musical union, entertaining people, but it is also talking about the things that vibrate me. Like we have to use our mask, the gel , protect ourselves. As the mother of an adolescent, I am also concerned about her safety, obviously I have to talk about that (violence against women), "she says.
Finally, Thalía confesses that it has been a year of learning and although she will remain patient for what comes in 2021, she already has many plans in music "and many surprises" that she cannot wait to show her followers.
