The singer of La Delio Valdez explained the reason why she decided to stay away from her former colleagues.
Bandana was a band that marked a whole generation of young people. Since their separation, four of its members (Every now and then) Lourdes Fernandez, Lissa Vera, Virginia Da Cuhna and Valeria Gastaldi) have met on several occasions, but he is always absent Yvonne Guzmanthe fifth member of the band, who never wanted to be part of any reunion.
The Colombian-born singer gave details about her refusal to a possible reunion. “The teenage fan is ‘wow’. Someone in the teenage stage is euphoric, they see the person they admire and everything goes overboard. They are teenagers and they are just learning to control that. But, being on the receiving end of all that is tough. I was in a panic. I have after-effects. People at that time were sleeping in front of my house.“, he recently said in an interview with the streaming service Somos Esto.
“Why did Bandana end? Was it because of a contract?” one of the show’s hosts wanted to know. “No, the contract continued for years. We were very tired. We were just starting our life, I was 19 years old.“s,” Ivonne confessed. “At that time, I didn’t know what I wanted from life, nor did I understand what I wanted. I knew I wanted to continue with music, but how, in what way. I wanted to compose and do different things. It was a great lesson, anyway,” she added.
“The first few years after the group ended were difficult. I just kept to myself. I started studying, my family supported me. I still had to finish high school. But it was very good for me: I took two years off and concentrated on that. As time went by, people calmed down and I also grew up.” There was a long time when I treated people a little badly, sorry. What was happening was that I was having a panic attack and my mom would tell me, for example: ‘But Ivonne takes care of the people who came to see you at your front door,’” she continued, recounting how the sudden success she achieved through Bandana affected her.
Ivonne Guzmán’s reason for not returning to Bandana
“When Bandana came back, why did you choose not to come back?” Ivonne was asked next. “The truth is that I had made such a solid path on the other side that it wasn’t something personal or anything… Bandana taught me to follow my instinct and my desire. When I came back, I decided to follow my instinct and my desire. They said to me: ‘Do you want to go back to Bandana?’ The truth is that I had a knot in my stomach. My body told me absolutely no.“She replied.
“And I didn’t hesitate for a moment. It wasn’t a calculated decision. I met with Gustavo Yankelevich, listened carefully to his proposal, told him I would think about it, and the following week I said no. The meeting further confirmed my decision.“Ivonne concluded.
