The Spanish singer Rosalía triumphed at the festival Lollapalooza Chile 2023, which was held this weekend in the Chilean capital, demonstrating that, just one year following the release of his latest album, Motomami, his music continues to move masses around the world.
”Today is not just any date, and I am seeing banners that corroborate it. It says here ‘happy first year of Motomami’. Not even in my wildest dreams might I imagine celebrating a Motomami year like this.”the artist thanked the Chilean public during the concert.
Rosalía thus revealed in the middle of the concert that, indeed, this Saturday her Motomami was one year old, since the attendees, who brought their homework, began to sing the “happy birthday” for the album before the artist quote the ephemeris.
”Thanks to you for coming, sharing, being here and for listening to Motomami. For being so ‘motomamis’. It is real! Chile is one of the most ‘motomamis’ places that exist, period, and that’s how it is”Rosalía exclaimed, referring to the adjective that qualifies people who have the “way of being” that the artist wants to convey on her latest album.
The Motomami album has helped Rosalía to stay at the top of music in Spanish, as demonstrated by the Latin Grammy award for Best Album of the Year that she won last year.
The singer deployed the entire audiovisual arsenal that characterizes her performances at Lollapalooza in Chile, with portable cameras that are used to project various shots from inside the stage on large screens, emulating home videos that are posted on some social networks such as TikTok.
The Spaniard performed in a black dress with flamenco details, which contrasted with the white shirts of her choreographers and with the also white lights that illuminated the panels that surrounded the stage for a large part of the concert.
The dancers who always accompany the artist, all men, combined their energetic contemporary steps with those of Rosalía, who, in some songs, recovered her deepest flamenco soul, with steps typical of that Spanish artistic tradition.
Rosalía was this Saturday, March 18, the artist most in demand by a large part of the public, mostly young, who filled the space on stage an hour before her show began.
