The Sevillian night was filled with magic and music when India Martínez decided to join her voice to that of Rosa Valdivia, a street artist, starring in a magical moment next to the Christmas tree at Puerta de Jerez.
This encounter, almost taken from a Christmas story, not only surprised Rosa herself and the passers-by, but has become a phenomenon on social networks. This unexpected duet has encapsulated the essence of what makes Christmas special: human connection and the ability to find happiness in the most unexpected moments.
The scene occurred while the well-known singer from Córdoba was walking with her family through the center of Seville. Upon hearing Valdivia sing 90 Minutes, one of Martínez’s most famous songs, he felt the need to join her. “The closer I got to her, the more her heart beat,” he explained on social media.
Despite the initial surprise of the street singer, who before meeting India Martínez had not managed to gather the public around her, both achieved a great performance: “I started singing with her and when I looked up there was a large chorus of people with us applauding. That is the music and magic of Christmas.”
Valdivia, surprised and excited by the unexpected appearance of the artist, thanked Martínez on social networks: “Thank you very much for singing that little moment with me, it has been my best Christmas gift. It has been a pleasure to sing this song with a voice as pretty as yours.”
Martínez’s gesture not only illuminated the night in Valdivia, but has also brought joy to more than 223,000 users on X, who have praised Martínez’s humanity and simplicity. Furthermore, a former co-worker of Valdivia has expressed his excitement at seeing that he “continues trying to fulfill his dream and that he has been able to have the opportunity to sing alongside you.” Other users have highlighted the importance of support and recognition in the music industry, especially for young artists.
