• MUSIC The motomami army, Rosalía's fan phenomenon: from spending 4,000 euros on the tour to getting out of depression thanks to her

Rosalía arrives in Madrid this Tuesday the 19th with Motomami World Tour and Plaza Felipe II -in front of the Wizink Center- already brings together some 100 people who listen to the singer sitting on a loudspeaker.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. but she will start singing at 9:30 p.m.

There is not a bit of shade in front of the enclosure.

That's when the firefighters show up to cool off these fans with a hose.

"What a fantasy," some shout.

"

Asphalt burns"

, jump others.

Every hour, approximately, they will return to bathe you in water and make the wait less suffocating.

The artist's followers carry a survival kit, the same as a bather in Alicante: a bottle of water, a towel to keep from touching the ground, a mini portable fan and (in the absence of an umbrella) an umbrella.

The luckiest

ones sitting in the camping chair that they have brought

to the front of the square are those of Abraham and his friends, who arrived on Monday at 5:00 p.m.

"We have been waiting for 18 hours", but "we are the first on track A", says Abraham with the sun on his forehead and ecstatic with emotion.

NOTEBOOK WITH ARRIVAL SCHEDULES

They all have a number written on their hand.

The venue's track is divided into zone A (closer to the stage, behind the VIP), and the back, zone B. The fans, from outside, have recreated them: sector A is on the right side of the square and the B on the left.

Since Abraham and his companions were the first to arrive, they make a list with numbers in order of arrival.

"Every time we see someone here we approach with the notebook, it is a prevention plan so that they sneak in"

.

Abraham or his friend Alberto write down the names with a number on their notebook page and then write it on the torso of their hand so that there are no mistakes.

- What is your motivation to be the first?

- Be Motomamis

"We have never spent so many hours waiting for an artist," says Alberto.

She has 10 Latin Grammy awards but her fans wait for her at 40 degrees because:

"she is natural, spontaneous, experimental

. "

Alberto emphasizes that she has created her own genre, "mixing genres, moods, it is unique".

Therefore, "it would be a dream to dance with her," they comment.

It can come true.

In Motomami Tour Rosalía is bringing fans up on stage to make them move while she sings.

Abraham believes that they are one of the possible chosen ones

: "Those who lead Motomami (the workers) have seen us since yesterday afternoon. If we don't go out it's because he doesn't want to and if not, we show him the list, the numbers... We have worked hard and we are the first".

This group of fans have slept on the floor with cushions and towels.

They are not afraid to sleep on the street because "someone was always awake".

"It's worth it for her" they pronounce as if they were literally talking about a goddess.
