RosalÃa returned to the Coachella festival on Saturday after her first landing, in 2019, without having managed to headline. In these four years, Sesrovires has climbed the charts and has been placed in a ranking of popularity to the point of becoming a claim on its own even on the West Coast of the United States. But it was the presence of her fiance, boyfriend or fiancé Rauw Alejandro that consolidated the triumph and contributed to warm the atmosphere in the city of Indio, in the middle of the desert. The performance was one of the most acclaimed on the second day of the festival, headlined by South Korean K-pop group Blackpink.
It was at the last stage of the concert in the Coachella Valley when RosalÃa welcomed the Puerto Rican rapper: “This time is very special because four years ago I came to Coachella, but I came alone (…) Has anyone heard RR?â€, he asked in relation to the brand new EP that the couple recently released with three duet tracks. And there was the man, wearing a black jacket and scarf, singing Vampiros and Beso, two songs that are included in this new work in which they have combined their initials and careers. And from there to the perreo there was a step.
“Where are my Latin people? And the reggaeton and perreo fans?” asked the Puerto Rican rapper, who thought it was necessary to reintroduce the diva. “She is RosalÃa”, he said, fanning the flame. The one from Sesrovires was moved to tears with Beso, and she had to compose herself to be able to sing this song that has already entered the global hit lists.
But sensuality had already taken the stage a while ago. RosalÃa had started with Saoko, La combi Versace and Bizcochito, from her album Motomami. “ Coachella, I came with everything! Let’s go!”, he said when the stage was still vibrating from the performance that British Charli XCX had starred in moments earlier. The RosalÃa phenomenon would quickly make her forget. fury
The admiration was palpable from the moment he took to the stage with the now recognizable cast of eight dancers sporting the biceps and black helmets of futuristic bikers, with a deafening roar of engines as a backdrop. Sensual movements with sudden folkloric airs that RosalÃa performed in a black top and a long pink shirt with transparencies that raised the temperature. With camera in hand, the new star of the Latin scene in the United States forged one of those perfect video clips that he develops live. Images that capture more and more millions of followers on TikTok. Whether drinking from a transparent milk carton or putting on the black macro glasses of a global idol.
His piano skills in Hentai and Candy rounded off the show, in addition to an exuberant play of lights and images on the giant screens guarding the stage that showed in all kinds of detail how he mingled with the audience.
This edition of Coachella had started on Friday at the Empire Polo Club with more than 120,000 people – an absolute full house – and performances by Gorillaz, Blondie, The Chemical Brothers, Blink-182, Becky G and Bad Bunny. Yesterday’s session was headlined by the American singer-songwriter Frank Ocean and the Icelandic Björk.
