Rosalía, the pop diva from Sant Esteve Sesrovires, turns thirty at the top of the pop ladder. She is involved in the triumphant "Motomani" tour, which she has just finished sweeping her way through New York. The mythical Radio City Music Hall, in the middle of Manhattan, was filled for two nights with an enthusiastic public, who did not hesitate to continue the party in the street, interrupting the traffic between thunderous loudspeakers. An amplification that seemed to echo the triumphant nominations for the Latin Grammy Awards that she has received, only below Bad Bunny. Among them, the best album of the year, best song of the year for Hentai and best alternative music album stand out. Also the one for "best long version music video for Motomami's presentation on TikTok".
Rosalía's ease on TikTok, the social network of Chinese origin, contrasts with the apprehension that other colleagues have about the slavery it entails. In fact, Rosalía's new show is like a great choreography designed for the TikTok audience, with a multitude of points of view and leaks, with portable cameras broadcasting, giving subjectivity to what happens, between reality and the screens, giving to the choreographies a determining importance. Rosalía makes music that is avant-garde and at the same time very popular. In her concert, flamenco tear coexists, sheathed in a surrealist-sized bata de cola, at a moment of great emotional and aesthetic force, with the abundant portion of Latin urban pop, with a fondness for reggeton. Not surprisingly, her glamorous boyfriend Rauw Alejandro is of Puerto Rican origin.
Rosalía moves with ease in various registers and is like a sponge that absorbs everything. From Arca to Tokischa, her voice also shines alongside Romeo Santos, in the new single El handkerchief, hook point of the new bachata that she proposes with the album Formula, Vol.3. Now that Rosalía is leading a new generation of global pop stars, it seems a long way from the fact that just five years ago she was still an unknown paya flamenco singer, who revolutionized the genre with her debut album Los Angeles, led by the unorthodox producer and guitarist Raül Refree. On March 23, 2017 they presented it at Luz de Gas. A conceptual work on death as the main theme. Quejio and toque flying over the tradition of La Niña de los Peines, Rafael de León, Enrique Morente and Manuel Molina, in a music still for beginners. Luz de Gas's performance took place within the Guitar BNC festival, with sold-out tickets and an audience that was more indie than flamenco.
Just out of school, as they say, with the appropriate studies at the Taller de Músics and the ESMUC and a bowling curriculum with Chicuelo and La Fura dels Baus. Until his flash from Madrid alongside the great C Tangana, in two singles for history, Call me later and above all Before I die, an emblematic song of the new trap in which Alizzz also plays a decisive role. The producer from Castelldefels is proud of his origins in his new single, Que pasa nen, in lyrics that say “I will bring Castefa three Grammys a l’any / Rosalía and Estopa are from Baix Llobregat”
Rosalía then flew to the US in search of the American dream, managing to succeed without giving up an artistic personality that places her at the forefront of pop. Her success gives her a privileged position to guide her career wherever she wants. It's easy to imagine her emulating Madonna's glamor or Björk's experimental side, or both at the same time, always reinventing herself while still looking like herself.
