## A serenade to start
Juanes opens the Billboard sit-down by singing "Es Por Ti" over a cafecito in Miami. No stage, no band, just a guitar and a booth.

> And it's because of you. That shine my eyes today.
## Un Día Normal turns 25
The album that made him a household name hits a quarter century, and he talks about how it keeps finding listeners who were not born when it came out.
## First time at Manantial
Host Jessica Roiz takes him to Manantial Market, a Colombian spot he had never visited. He calls walking in something close to a dream.

> It's like a dream more or less for me.
## Pan de bono wins
He spots the cheese bread and loses the plot, growling at the display case before ordering. Two coffees, two pan de bono, done.

> Mmm, bread with cheese. I want to eat that thing.
## Ten coffees a day, cut off
Colombian coffee is a love he had to ration. He was drinking around ten cups daily and finally made himself stop.

> I love it, but I really had to stop because I drank too much coffee.
## What else he is building
The conversation covers his Juan Esteban project and genre mixing, painting as a second outlet, how he preps voice and guitar for tour, and Marea Viva's sustainable housing work in Chocó.
## Key takeaway

Juanes keeps the same habits that made him, coffee, guitar, home flavors, and lets everything else evolve around them.
