Dimitris Papaioannou, the choreographer behind ROSALÍA’s “La Perla,” revealed the inspirations and symbolism behind the performance.
Among the main references are: the Venus de Milo, Rita Hayworth in the film Gilda (1946), Our Lady of Lourdes, and Our Lady of Guadalupe.
I am the photographer who took these I am still so happy she posted my pics she is my idol and I adore her sm🥹 I never complained about anything AT ALL just hope to meet her one day and work officially for her, that’s all. please don’t be mean with her for no reason 🙏🏼🩵
Paco León, the Spanish actor and director, wrote a text about ROSALÍA in his latest Instagram post:
“Just six and a half years ago, I met her. With her song Catalina and her album Los Ángeles, many of us were completely won over by the obvious. Up close, she was, as Guitarricadelafuente says, sweet but ‘crunchy,’ like a crema catalana. Very curious about everything, we went to see a micro-theater show. At that time, people were only asking me for photos.
Later, with a beer in my hand, I got a bit paternal and asked her if she wasn’t overwhelmed by the album’s success. Without a trace of arrogance, she took my hand and, pulling me out of my naivety, said:
‘No, Paco, this is just the beginning. I want to mix flamenco with electronic music, put on a big show with dancers, and I see myself in the United States winning a Grammy… blah blah.’
At that moment I thought:
‘What is this crazy girl talking about?’
She didn’t seem delusional, she seemed like she had everything very clear, and in a gesture of caution, she added:
‘Let’s see, maybe it won’t work out. But I have something to say, and I’m going to give it everything I’ve got.’
The rest is history, and you already know it. Her success isn’t upward, it moves in every direction. More and more free, deeper and deeper, more and more unique.
Thank you, Rosi, for lighting the way.
Thank you.”
Acabo de salir de la primera noche del LUX tour en Madrid y puedo AFIRMAR que este espectáculo es lo mejor que ha hecho Rosalía, y es mi cuarto concierto de ella. Qué locura. Estoy en SHOCK.
