This is an absolutely incredible performance from Rosalía. The setup, the tears, the orchestra, the singers. Flipping hell. Beautiful.
It’s taken from the GOYA awards in Seville last week.
The song is a cover of Los Chunguitos, a Spanish Romani flamenca group from Madrid.
We are big fans of Rosalia around these parts.
