Rosalia is a young Spanish popstar, but if you’re American like me, you probably had no idea who she was until a couple months ago. To me, the new generation of Latin musicians — rappers like Bad Bunny, R&B crooners like Maluma, and sex-pot bombshells like Karol G — all converged in the rootless, over-produced cacophony of any other globalized pop. Yet Rosalia is something different entirely.
