To say that
Bad Gyal
had a party last night in Madrid is an understatement. For one hour and 45 minutes, she blew up the old Palacio de los Deportes with a wild display of her urban credo, proving to everyone that she is, without a doubt, the queen of perreo and
autotune
. She arrived in the capital - where she will also perform this Sunday - after dazzling in Bogotá and Mexico City in what were the fifth and sixth stops of her world tour
La Joia 24 Karats Tour
.
"From the beginning
full
,
full
,
full
," exclaimed the Catalan to the delirium of an audience that did not stop twerking from the first song to the last. So it was. Risqué lyrics,
twerking
and a lot of glitter during a
set
that mixed trap, reggaeton and dancehall.
It started with
La que no se move
, followed by
Perdido este culo
and
Kármika
, in a
medley
of three songs, of which there would be several during the
show
. The introduction had not even played more than two seconds when the more than 15,000 attendees began to shout
"While I move it, I get flying
. "
And there she didn't stop. When the second chorus arrived, Alba Farelo Solé - Bad Gyal's real name - had already received the first scream from the audience after shaking her buttocks and wiggling her hips on top of one of her dancers, an action that she would repeat a thousand and one more times. .
Bad Gyal is a divaza and she knows it. Without asking permission or forgiveness. She does what she wants
and
that's how she demonstrates it on stage. Dressed in black glasses that she soon got rid of, a shiny silver
mini dress
- matching her silver thong - and over-the-knee boots of the same color,
she looks like the
jewel
that gives name to her first album
, which has released almost a decade after he rose to fame with his Catalan version of
Work,
by Rihanna.
Sin carné
,
Pop pop
and
Hookah
followed
, where the cries of euphoria eclipsed Solé's voice with her first
twerkings
with her back to the WiZink Center floor. And, of course, there was no shortage of
Tremendo culon
or
44
, for the
fans
who have followed her since the beginning.
"It is always a pleasure to be here, to feel your energy," he said in one of the few pauses he took, before thanking those present for making him sell out the tickets.
"I know that in Madrid you give everything... Are you up to the task today?"
he asked.
Well yes. The audience danced and sang at the top of their lungs "You saw me at Mercadona, I'm a lady, this Adidas
made in China
, but I'm cuter" and "I report to your area, every day more big-assed" with the same cockiness as their beloved musical goddess, whose gaze captivated the camera that followed her around the stage.
But it was at
SexeSexy
when a surprise appearance by Alba's little sisters,
Mushkaa
and Greta, made the public fall at the feet of the Farelo clan. "They are my sisters," the oldest of the three clarified, in case anyone didn't understand. "
They are amazing artists
. If you haven't heard them yet, you're late," Bad Gyal concluded, before joining the twins in a hug.
It was the only collaboration of the night.
Anitta
was not present
to sing
Bota Niña
, nor
Ñengo Flow
to make
Bad Boy
her own , nor
Nicki Nicole
to conquer us with
Enamórate
. Everyone sang from a distance, but it didn't matter. Bad Gyal did not need anyone other than his body of six dancers, who did not stop at almost any moment and who did not hold back when it came to hitting him down, unleashing fireworks almost as powerful as the pyrotechnics on stage.
