Beauty of everything that I have seen makes me fall in love with Baku again and again, world-famous singer and musician Lou Bega told Day.Az.

Charming man with the warm and open smile on his face, became incredibly popular in 1999, when he remade instrumental composition of Perez Prado in to the "Mambo No. 5" rousing tune, which then became an international hit.

"In fact, the city never ceases to amaze me," he said. "Given that it was my fourth visit and I saw more, I can say each time the city is very different. Well, what about people - they are wonderful. I am convinced of this every time visiting here."

Moreover, Lou Bega said in his interview he was very impressed by the Azerbaijani folk music - Mugham.

Talking about factors that determine the music today, he said, "This is a sector which offers many opportunities. Being a representative of the music industry, you can be in touch with your audience, listeners, and this is very cool. It's something different. "

He also shared his opinion about money's negative effect, saying it can spoil not only music, but many things. He added that money is important thing, but it should not spoil man's inner world and perception of the world.

Speaking about the complexity to remind the world about himself, he said: "Sometimes it is difficult and that the best way in this case is to travel around the world and meet people."

"Of course, to perform on the radio is great, but it is only one aspect of our business, and it will not compensate direct contact with the audience, which occurs during performances," Lou Bega said.

Concluding his interview, the famous singer spoke about children's role in today's life.

"Sure, children bring life," he said. "The house is empty without children. Now I have only one child, a daughter. But, she carries so much life! At least one child must be in the family and, if it is possible, you must contribute to the next generation!"
