So, who has more of a chance of transforming U.S. pop culture, Aterciopelados or Ugly Betty?
Hector: I think that every message reaches a certain segment of society, to certain fans, to people who need it or who have certain affinity. We connect with kids who have ethical and musical affinities with what we do, where the message in our lyrics has something to do with their lives. A show like Ugly Betty probably connects with another type of crowd. Andrea: More mainstream. Hector: The channels on which Betty is shown have a massive audience that reaches into the millions. People have to go look for our records, go to our concerts. Betty is on TV in their homes. Like everything there are ideas that interested ones will recieve while others won’t. While some ideas will be recieved by a few. Andrea: I haven’t seen Ugly Betty. Hector: I don’t know what sort of change it will produce, but regardless it’s a show that was widely seen in Colombia. It was different, cool, as a new way of doing soaps, a new way of telling a story with more realistic characters. How has the female factor
