вЂњButВ I have to be transparent with how I understand flamenco here and now, with who I am, with my references, with my age, with the moment I am living, you know? The classical basis is so important to me. I learned all the rules,вЂќ says the 25-year-old, who studied flamenco for eight years under local legend JosГ© Miguel вЂњEl ChiquiвЂќ Vizcaya, as well as at the Catalonia School of Music. RosalГa, however, insists her interpretations are not born out of any disrespect, but out of a natural curiosity for the medium itself. Some critics have voiced concerns over a Catalan artist, aВ northerner, taking so much liberty with a folk genre that evolved from the amalgamation of Jewish, Romani and Moor diasporas in the south of Spain. Yet she knows better than to work against the rising dominance of the urban mainstream in fact, she welcomes those elements into her songs, where both 808s and palmas, or percussive hand claps, cradle her vocal melismas with ease. You have to shake it up and see how it explodes.вЂќД«y using the time-honored Andalusian art form as her canvas, RosalГa brings high drama to a Spanish-language pop world that has otherwise stayed close to the laid-back sensuality of upbeat, Caribbean-sourced sounds like reggaeton and dembow. But I think of any genre as a snow globe - you donвЂ™t admire it for its stillness. вЂњI respect the flamenco tradition,вЂќ RosalГa tells Rolling Stone whileВ seated inside Sony MusicвЂ™s Manhattan headquarters.В Wearing a pastel yellow utility jumpsuit and sneakers, she leaps out of her seat at times, excitable with a genuine passion for her craft. Where her 2017 debut, Los ГЃngeles, was painted in gradations of slate, her new follow-up, the flamenco-pop fusion record El Mal Querer - which loosely translates to Toxic Love - is dabbled with bursts of red, gold and saffron. The word used here,В вЂњcameloвЂќ, from the verbВ вЂњcamelarвЂќ, in Spanish means a lot of things in English, likeВ вЂњseduceвЂќ,В вЂњtake inвЂќ,В вЂњwin overвЂќ, etc, in calГ© it actually meansВ вЂњto loveвЂќ.How many colors can you fit into a single syllable? For Barcelona singer-songwriter RosalГa Vila Tobella, the range is near infinite. (this is all sung from the perspective of the husband)ДЄnd you keep doing it ДЎ.

Here are the lyrics, so you can clearly see what this means: So yeah, IвЂ™ve already discuss the meaning of the song, this is the most violent and harsh song in the album, it shows the husband turning into a monster and the wife crying for help. This was actually RosalГaвЂ™s favourite song from the record! Basically this autotune reflects the suffering of the wife, thatвЂ™s getting beaten up by the husband, while the first part is sung from the perspective of the angry and abusive husband. She uses a lot of sounds from different vehicles and a lot of autotune in the second half of the song.

This is probably the most experimental song in the record, and the leastВ вЂњflamenco-ishвЂќ, although the base for the melody, that can be specially heard in the beginning of the song, is of a seguiriya, one of the palos of Flamenco. Again, I study the Ancient World, including the Ancient Iberian Penninsula, so I always like seeing what I study in different works of art:) Here is how theВ вЂњDama de ElcheвЂќ (вЂќLady of ElcheвЂќ) looks like: La Dama de Elche: This iberian sculpture, famous in all of Spain and a symbol of our heritage, is referenced in the headpiece and jewelry that RosalГa has on in the music video. All of my mother side is Manchego, so thatвЂ™s why I love that they are represented here:) Here are some other pics of manchego windmills and the general landscape: Manchego windmills: Those windmills represent the typical Manchego landscape, also alluding to the most known chapter of the most influential Spanish novel ever, Don Quijote. But the two elements I wanna talk about, that are really dear to me, are the following: Firstly, the wolf that can be seen at one point, is one of our main predators, along with the lynx and wild bulls I guess. She keeps the urban aesthetic sheвЂ™s been using in all of the music videos with the motorcycle stuff (that also is a sound in the song itself) and she keeps using Spanish elements and symbols. This is probably my favourite video in terms of like the symbols she uses because they affect me personally. In this song, basically, the husband shows his abusive side, wanting to keep his wife on lock down and even it is implied that he hits her.Д«ut firstly, this song has a Music Video! So, like always, IвЂ™ll first talk about it: In this song things get really darkвЂ¦ The title translates toВ вЂњYou are not getting out of hereвЂќ so yeah, lovely.
