Rosalía returned to the Coachella festival on Saturday after her first landing in 2019, without having managed to headline. In those four years, Sesrovires's has climbed the charts and ranked in popularity until it became a claim on its own, even for audiences on the American West Coast. But the presence of her fiancé, boyfriend or fiancé of her Rauw Alejandro strengthened her triumph and helped to heat up the atmosphere in the city of Indio, in the middle of the desert. The performance was one of the most acclaimed of the second day of the festival, which was led by the South Korean k-pop band Blackpink.
It was in the last stretch of the concert in the Coachella Valley when Rosalía welcomed the Puerto Rican rapper: “This time is very special because four years ago I came to Coachella, but I did it alone (...) Has anyone heard RR? ”, he asked in relation to the brand new EP that the couple has recently released with three duet songs. And there was the man, in a black jacket and scarf, singing Vampires and Kiss, two songs that are included in the new musical work in which they have joined their initials and careers. And from there to the perreo there was a step.
"Where are my Latin people? And the fans of reggaeton and perreo?" snapped the Puerto Rican rapper, who thought the diva had to be reintroduced. “She is Rosalía,” he said, fanning the flame. The one from Sesrovires was moved to tears with Beso and had to compose herself to be able to sing this song that has already made its way onto the global hit lists. And indeed, a kiss on the edge of the stage was stolen by the cameras for the pleasure of those who follow the couple's romance.
But sensuality had already taken the stage a while ago. Rosalía had started with Saoko, La combi Versace and Bizcochito from her album Motomami. “Coachella, I have come with everything! Let's go! ”, She said when the stage was still vibrating from the performance that moments before the British Charli XCX had starred in. The Rosalía phenomenon would make her forget quickly. Fury.
That admiration was felt since he took the stage with his already recognizable cast of eight dancers sporting biceps and black helmets of futuristic bikers, and that thunderous noise of engines as a backdrop. Sensual movements with sudden folkloric airs that Rosalía performed clad in a black top and a long, see-through pink-toned shirt that raised the temperature.
Camera in hand, the new star of the Latino scene in the United States forged one of those perfect video clips that he develops live. Images that attract more and more millions of followers on TikTok. Whether it's with her drinking from a transparent milk carton or putting on the global idol's black macro glasses.
His piano skills in Hentai and Candy rounded off the show, as well as an exuberant play of lights and images on the giant screens that guarded the stage and showed in great detail how he mixed with the audience.
This edition of Coachella had started on Friday at the Empire Polo Club with more than 120,000 people –absolutely full– and performances by Gorillaz, Blondie, The Chemical Brothers, Blink-182, Becky G and Bad Bunny. Yesterday's event was led by the American singer-songwriter Frank Ocean and the Icelandic Björk.
