Rosalía Interview: "My grandmother is a motomami, I hope I'm like her when I grow up"
El Hormiguero Pablo Motos "goes out of line" with the war
MomenTVs Lorenzo Caprile 'bends' Pablo Motos (and everyone)
You have to be very brave and have them well dressed to be
Rosalía
, yes
Rosalía
, the
Motomami
, and don't hesitate to dress up as a fellow reporter, take a microphone and go out into the street hand in hand with
El Hormiguero
to ask people about yourself .
Well ,
Rosalía
who, as she already said, no matter how famous and no matter how
Rosalía
may be, is still the same as always, she put on a wig, contact lenses and glasses, and went to the street to ask what people thought of her herself and her music.
She found everything, from the woman she called her music an "aberration", to those who find her boyfriend,
Rauw Alejandro
, much better and "more handsome", to those who prefer
C. Tangana
or
Rosalía
de
Malamente
than Rosalía de
Motomami
.
You have to have a pair of ovaries.
Well ,
Rosalía
not only accepted the challenge of
El Hormiguero
, but also gave one of the television moments of the year.
Thanks to
Jordi Moltó
, responsible for the videos that have caused so many tears and so many laughs in
El Hormiguero
,
Rosalía
became a fellow reporter whose job was to go out to the street to ask what people thought of this
Rosalía
, what did they think their new album,
Motomami
, released this midnight, and what did they like more the
Rosalía
of now or the
Rosalía
of before.
The big question, because her new work was born with that question:
Rosalía
from
Malamente
or
Rosalía
from
Motomami
?
"
Motomami
is made from love, from the desire to continue experimenting and although it used different codes, the place since it is made is the same, the heart. I feel satisfied and proud after three years of work,"
Rosalía
assured
Pablo Motos
, who reappeared by video call so as not to miss the interview he was waiting for so long.
Well, with that same affection, with that same desire, with that concern to experiment, but above all with a humility that you never expect in someone who accumulates as much fame and success as
Rosalía
, she went out into the street with her blonde wig.
And what he found was perhaps not what was expected, but you would not see in
Rosalía
not a bad gesture, not a bad face, just a smile and a lot, a lot of affection.
Because
Rosalía
met, of course, with her fans, but also with whom she does not understand her music and with whom she did not hesitate to tell her to her face that she likes
C. Tangana
more than
Rosalía
del
Motomami
.
Rosalía's television moment in El Hormiguero
And what was your reaction?
Well ,
Rosalía
leaned forward and when she heard a girl tell her that she preferred
C. Tangana
, that she liked him much better, that she used to give
Rosalía
a 10, now she gives her a 6.5,
Rosalía
not only he asked him about
El Madrileño
, while he ate a lollipop that the same kids had given him, but with sarcasm and hesitation -the faces Juan, the faces- he continued insisting.
"And
C. Tangana
, what?" asked the
reporter
Rosalía .
"I like
C. Tangana
more than
Rosalía
", answered one of the boys.
"Hey, and this flamenco that
Rosalía does
, that one day it's flamenco, another it's reggeaton... I make a mess", he continued asking. "The flamenco from the beginning, from
Malamente
, was brutal", answered another. "They said that it wasn't flamenco",
Rosalía
inquired
, sending a little message to those who also criticized her then."Well, I say yes, it was flamenco," the girl released with an unexpected addition: "...And I have come to think that
C. Tangana
wanted to copy a bit of that little flamencito.
At a point where I said, it could be, because it's true that she started before".
Rosalía
simply said "of course, you will say", but he hesitated, the pullita was not a word, it was a face,
he copied it.” The face said it all, he didn't need to say anything more.
But it wasn't just daring to ask about
C. Tangana
, with what lies behind that question, it was his attitude towards the whole experiment.
Despite the fact that there was more criticism than praise,
Rosalía
had a pirate time as an intern and was able to hear first-hand and face to face what people of all ages and all categories had to say about her.
It did not matter to her that they described her work as "aberration", that they recognized that they did not listen to her, that they said that they preferred X or Y, that they assured that they did not understand her change,
Rosalía
smiled, had fun and did not hesitate to hug everyone once. once discovered the cake.
It was so, so, so well done that only one boy recognized that
Rosalía was under the wig
really.
And you'll think, well, that's bullshit, because I don't know where the fun is.
Well, now imagine that you put any other celebrity or artist of the stature and relevance of
Rosalía
to do a similar thing.
Do you really think she was going to do it with such humility and taking the blows so well?
I doubt it.
After the grace, the pullita and the hesitation that
Rosalía
's video showed , the most talkative reporter was that she does not lie, that when she says that she is still the same as before fame, it is that she continues to be.
"I don't take fame very seriously. I keep doing the same things as before. There are things I never want to change. Go back to my town, see my friends again, go for bread, which relaxes me a lot" , he confessed to
Pablo Motos
when he asked him how he manages success and fame.
Because it is true, that as she told last night, the
Rosalía
of now has little free time, little time to go back to being the
Rosalía
of before.
"I don't have many days off. Every day I sing and train my voice and dance depending on whether I have to prepare a performance. For example, for tonight's Tik Tok for the premiere of
Motomami
I have been preparing it for a month and a half with 4 or 5 daily hours of dance rehearsals," he explained.
Being the same as always without being able to be.
"On days off I don't sing. I make a brownie, I go with the car or the motorcycle, I call my sister and I skewer her... Today I haven't sung, today I got up and said, today
Motomami
premieres , not today I sing, today is the day to enjoy".
Wow, if she was seen enjoying herself.
It shows when a guest goes to
El Hormiguero
and goes with enthusiasm and is going to enjoy it.
Rosalía
entered through the door and she was already looking forward to it.
Perhaps she was the emotion of the imminent premiere of
Motomami
or, perhaps, as
Nuria Roca
pointed out , it was being back home after spending two years without being able to leave the US due to the pandemic.
In fact, it was because of the pandemic that
Motomami
premiered today : "With the pandemic I have been in the United States for two years, away from home, away from my family, my friends... I wrote it with them in mind , missing them. Without the pandemic
, Motomami
would not have turned out like this."
And the million dollar question, what is a
Motomami
?
Well, the truth is that according to
Rosalía
's words, all women are
a
Motomami .
"A
Motomami
always sleeps, be it summer or winter, without pajamas. Each
Motomami
is as she is, each Motopapi is as she is (...) If you feel like a
Motomami
, you are already a
Motomami
. I feel like a
Motomami
because my mother is a
Motomami
, my grandmother is a
Motomami
and my grandmother's mother was a
Motomami
. It is feminine energy and strength."
Of this, there was no doubt.
Rosalía responds to criticism in El Hormiguero
And although specialized critics are praising Rosalía
's new work and raising it to the altars
, the public is not as in unison as it was with
Malamente
.
Rosalía
has experimented, she has left the register with which she presented herself to the world and has searched for new sounds, new lyrics, new sensations.
"How do you write the lyrics of your songs? Do you stand in front of a blank sheet of paper, do you smoke it?"
Pablo Motos
asked him with all intent, being aware of those criticisms about the lyrics of his new work.
Rosalia
answered without hesitation: "I don't smoke. This hummingbird's voice wouldn't stand it. It depends on the song, some I have started on my mobile and then I continue them, other times with paper... I think the best ones come out lying on the bed".
She assures that
Motomami
came from the heart as
Ougurio
came out , but part of the public is having a hard time with that change, those new lyrics, that new style that goes beyond what was perhaps expected, but even though it is difficult to understand, it is very difficult not to hitch.
Rosalía
knows that she is a product, but she tries to ensure that her essence, her being, is not lost in all that tidal wave of fame.
An essence that not only goes through dressing up and facing her fans and her haters, but also takes off a shoe live, planting one foot on the table and showing the tattoo that is most important to her, a double R, ¿ the double R of Rosalía and
Rauw Alejandro
?
She didn't even want to go into that.
laughs.
Perhaps it is for this reason that if
Nuria Roca
asks her to teach her the basic steps of
Chicken Teriyaki
,
Rosalía
not only says a resounding yes without making them get up from their seats from
Jorge Salvador
, through
Pablo Motos
from home, to Brown.
She places them around her, puts them in front of the camera and makes them follow the steps whether they make a fool of themselves or not.
And she sees her enjoying it, and she sees her destroying everything wherever she goes with that energy that
Nuria Roca
spoke about at the beginning of the program.
A whirlwind you expect, but still surprises.
Because
Rosalía
is not the typical unattainable and uptight celebrity,
Rosalía
in short distances it must be one of the common mortals.
And she likes it, and I think she is what she tries to keep yes or yes.
"I always do what comes from the heart, but this album is the one that has cost me the most due to the circumstances and, in addition, I have collaborated with people that I admire a lot and I have grown a lot as a writer and producer."
This is
Motomami
for
Rosalía
, this is
Rosalía
, this is the girl who still hesitates
C. Tangana
, characterized as an intern who takes off her foot, who makes all of
El Hormiguero
dance, who even laughs at her own shadow.
