Since Rosalía arrived in Buenos Aires, she has revolutionized the entire country: strolling through Recoleta, greeting her fans outside the Four Seasons and, of course, in her incredible show at the Villa Crespo stadium. Tonight comes the second date -also completely sold out- and we bring you this Filo.música unmissable.
Rosalía Vila Tobella was born on September 25, 1992 and raised in San Esteban de Sasroviras, Catalonia, Spain. At the age of 10 she told her parents that she wanted to be a singer and by the age of 16 she was already studying piano and flamenco singing, in addition to having taken dance classes since she was a child. All this was combined with the classic reggaeton of Don Omar and Ivy Queen and the soul wave of Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Christina Aguilera that the teenage Rosalía listened to. With this mix of sounds at 15 he participates in a reality talent but does not do very well. After finishing high school, he entered the Higher School of Music of Catalonia which only accepts one student per year. There he was 8 years under the mentorship of Chiqui de la Línea and the spiritual guide of the Camarón de la Isla and the Niña de los Peines, among other singers. In 2013 he debuted his record label but with KEJALEO, a flamenco jazz band with which he recorded the album “ALAIRE”. During the following years he participated in several important festivals, he hit a jingle for a clothing brand and while giving flamenco classes and playing in bars, he created super eclectic songs that remained unpublished, such as “Free”. Things accelerated from 2015, when he began to rub shoulders with producer Raúl Fernández Refree and Argentine-Spanish rapper Dano. The first was the producer of her debut album as a soloist and the second, the person who in addition to inspiring her artistically made her a bridge to meet C. Tangana.El Madrileño at that time was in his most trapera stage and together with a Rosalía who had not yet released any official song as a soloist they hit the hit “Antes de morirme”. Finally, Rosalía’s first album came out on February 10, 2017 and was called LOS ANGELES. Together with Raúl Refree they cranialized these 12 tracks with pure guitar and voice, focusing on death as the main concept. But before finishing her first album, Rosalía was already thinking about the second, which would also be her thesis to receive from the Escuela Superior de Música.EL MAL QUERER was another conceptual work by Rosalía but this time based on an anonymous novel of the 13th century entitled FLAMENCA. Through 11 chapters he was shelling this toxic love story with a team formed by the producer El Guincho and C. Tangana himself, credited in 8 of the 11 songs. With EL MAL QUERER Rosalía arrived: to British TV, to Lollapalooza Argentina, to Coachella in the United States, to be the Spanish with the most Latin Grammys for a single job and to almost be hired by Madonna to play on her birthday. After toooodo this, Rosalía puts a blow in her sound: from coming with proposals with a very serious plot behind her, she goes on to make music to have fun. The dance hits began to be interspersed with more experimental songs and by 2020 it surprises theme by theme, both for the sound and for the artists that accompany it. De Travis Scott went on to collaborate with Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny, Bilie Eilish and The Weeknd. He even makes a cameo appearance in a music video with two hip hop goddesses, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. Not for nothing the prestigious producer Pharell Williams ended up joining Rosalía and El Guincho to work on his next album. MOTOMAMI came out on March 18, 2022 and we had such different singles that nobody knew what to think. From the hand of MOTOMAMI she arrived at her first talk show in the United States and to face a world tour that brings her to Argentina and 14 other countries with almost 50 dates in total. Already in the same tour that started in several cities of Spain Rosalía began to detach a little from this album in which she has been working for 3 years and was encouraged to improvise things like these. He even had the luxury of premiering the song and having people learn it through live shows and videos on YouTube.You may not yet be uploaded to the Rosalía phenomenon but believe me it is worth analyzing what he brings to the global music scene. Because with Rosalía the albums are thought and worked, with a concept behind and a coherence that unites the songs, when today many albums are rejuntes of singles previously released to position themselves in the playlist. It must be said: Rosalía does good for contemporary music.
