Check out this reaction next! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EAu0zo2OvX4.html ---- I've recieved a few comments saying there are no instruments, so I'm adding this to the pinned comment. There is an instrument 🎹We can hear it but can't see it. Source taken from an article: "y hay momentos en los que dice las sílabas del texto con notas muy largas para darle una base armónica que El Guincho (el músico Pablo Díaz-Reixa) acentúa con un teclado que les permite no perder la afinación." "and there are moments in which they say the syllables of the text with very long notes to give it a harmonic base that El Guincho (the musician Pablo Díaz- Reixa) accentuates with a keyboard that allows them not to lose tuning."
My goodness…. that’s an experience. Unlike just enjoying a performance, this was gripping, full attention. And so very, utterly, different from the same song sung by those fellows in the comparison clip. I understand what you meant by needing to be in the right mood for experiencing this again, not the right thing to just pop up in random rotation on a playlist but rather choose it by intention for exploring this experience. Question: So how many languages do you speak/understand?? My goodness, I hope more folks will give this a try, even if it’s unfamiliar
How beautiful and ever so gripping - I was really moved. What a striking discovery for me! Flamenco artists seem to be experts in conveying emotion in a dramatic way - but she is doing it by softly wrapping your heart in her voice and pulling the strings. A happy song but so sad. I guess love can be like that. Your reaction was beautiful and your explanations helped me understand the contradictions in the effect this performance had on me. Thank you SH! 🌟 🌟 🌟
so far, my very favorite song ever!! "softly wrapping your heart" is a very accurate description of what this singer did with my heart. Just incredible.
Excellent analysis, thank you! This performance gives me such chills, with the dissonance and the quality of her voice. Something about the way she dances around notes and then pins them down that is so captivating.
Rosalia is one of the best musician and singer today, also producer, provably the most influéncial singer today, Her album, are very good, last one MotoMaMi, but you can listen live, en yotube, de plata directo en sevilla, and also, si tu supieras compañero, en el diario el país, , but listen her albums, and watchtower her videos, she made very good videos, el mal querer is a very good album too, rosalia, very innovative,
Your Spanish was good.☺️ I come from a Spanish background, and speak Spanish, so Latin music is special to me. Very emotional and sensual. This young lady, definitely evokes the beauty of this music. It seems almost a religious opening, like a church choir. Maybe she means this as a prayer to her lover? ❤🇺🇸
Hi, thank you for the reaction. Some insights that you might need to know (and I´m sure you know). The intense vibrato is called "quejío", and is a stylistic characteristic of "copla" and "flamenco". It can be much, much faster than what Rosalía does here. Remember that Rosalía is a classical and flamenco scholar as well (she has hold a HE masters in Classical Music and Flamenco). I am very glad you have reviewed this recording as it shows the difference between "zarzuela" and "italian opera". Zarzuela is a spaniard lyric subgenre that, quickly, diverges on the vocal and stylistical choices the singers need to do and very difficult for anglosaxon and italian school singers. This dissonances are as well a typical spanish pop culture and music notes and scales (menor oriental and hispanoárabe, in case you want to research it). Falla, Granados, Aita Donostia, and so on do showcase this (even Ravel every now and then). What Rosalía and other spanish singers have that makes them apart is the very strong control over vibrato, which is the reason why the big american popstars do not do so well in spanish pop culture market (we don´t appreciate the "beyonce" type of stylistic choices, for example). All in all thank you so much for the reaction. It is a good view on how an anglosaxon musician sees Spaniard pop and music culture. 🙂
Thank you for explaining my discomfort while listening to this performance. During my second passage through it, I was able to appreciate the sounds and began to enjoy the experience. I find myself looking for resolutions. No doubt, more listening would increase my enjoyment.
Rosalía was accompanied by the Cor Jove de l’Orfeó Català during this stunning performance. The arrangement of ‘Me quedo contigo’ was done by Joan Albert Amargós, a renowned composer.
Her music is often very empathic, very emotional. Despite the language barrier you can feel the pain as well as the luck, to this extent... i never seen that befored, in her live performances often theatrical, what a performer- its a real emotional roller coaster. Combined with her creativity mixing genres... she is one of few extraordinary artists doing things never done before. And español is a whole new world musically...💙 If you want to stay classic, go: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o2CSarJ97N4.html If you want to go modern, go: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_6YCNd3ONUU.html
Hola. Me agrada tu análisis, intrínseco y minucioso, excelente maestro👌🏻 Me hiciste llorar otra vez😭 después de un tiempo de no escuchar ésta canción. Rosalía posee una alma vieja, su interpretación fué sublime, tiene una hermosa voz y coloratura muy única. Very powerful performance, Bravo Rosalia 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Reacción a Rosalía en tuya ,se nos rompió el amor en los gramis 23 España,o Sakura ahy comprenderás que es su voz un abrazo fuerte desdé Tenerife España ❤❤❤❤
Rosalia's voice is incredibly incredible. If you loved this one, you must love 'De Plata'!!! Hope you react to this one 🤞🏼🤞🏼 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wfuPWAKGjBE.htmlfeature=shared
The original song (the one sung by Los Chunguitos) was part of an eighty's film called "Deprisa, deprisa" soundtrack and this film is a reference of our "cine quinqui", a branch of films that talk about drugs abuse (heroine), slums and delinquency. Knowing this you can understand better the real meaning of the song and why she decided the use of all that dissonances and all that eeries sounds. It's a love song but it's a very hurtful love. I love this performance and Los Chunguitos praised her work.
Maravillosa actuación de Rosalía! Gracias Sir por este análisis de nuestra cultura, te recomiendo a una artista Diana Navarro, canción Sola o en un homenaje a Placido Domingo canción Romance de la Otra, es excepcional👏👏🎻🇪🇸
Gracias por reaccionar a una de nuestras cantantes españolas. Te animo a seguir descubriendo los grandes talentos musicales, que hay en España. Si aun no conoces a uno de los mejores guitarristas de todos lus tiempos, te animo a que lo escuches interpretando, a la guitarra española, "Entre dos aguas" Saludos desde Andalucía España ❤
Very unusual sound, but the intense and very expressive singing is incredibly captivating. I had to listen to the whole song again immediately. Impressive, not only because of the singer's powerful and very beautiful voice, but also because the choir gives the piece a very special atmosphere. (In my opinion, the choir was a little too loud at times, which meant that Rosalia's more delicate tones were sometimes drowned out.)
I'm not a Rosalía fan, but she is talented. I enjoy some of her performances. This a good example. I like "Di mi nombre" acoustic guitar version. And "Alfonsina y el Mar"
Based on the few songs I’ve heard by Rosalía so far, I thought this performance was refreshing and very elegant/ beautiful; thank you for this nice review and interesting discussion (and the Patreon who suggested it)! She is quite famous here in South America with the reggaeton style of music and has recently collaborated with some big names of the current mainstream music in North America (such as The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, Travis Scott...). Besides, some months ago Björk released a charity single featuring Rosalía with a song originally created in the 90’s that didn’t fit into her solo albums at the time - yeah, Rosalía’s career is truly skyrocketing! Although the compositions I’ve heard by her are not my cup of tea, there is no doubt she is a beautiful singer with a lot of talent (taking this performance as reference, I think I should definitely discover more from her). At last, since you said you enjoy flamenco-influenced music, I’ll just say that’s another good reason for you to consider reviewing ‘Playing god’ by Polyphia in the future :)
Wow really?! So she is super famous? I cannot imagine her performing music such as this with any of those 3 you mentioned The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, Travis Scott - perhaps the music with them is much more suited to the US 'popular' style? Yes Polyphia is on my list 🙌🏽 One day my dream is to be able to be more than 1 video in advance, so I can have a fair few lined up and this will be one of those
@@SirHairless Yes, Rosalía seems to be full of surprises! I’m starting to realize that she walks freely through a wide range of music genres, which is exciting and makes me intrigued to learn more from the other sides of her music that haven’t reached popularity in Brazil yet. As for her collaborations, I think it’s very cool to see the Spanish language represented and being sang by some top figures on the US Billboard chart (the songs I’ve heard with both The Weeknd and Travis Scott have a strong 'Latin' vibe, while with Billie Eilish the song has a more ‘atmospheric pop’ ambience, similar to the typical Billie style). Yay, it's great to know that Polyphia is included on your list! Take all the time needed to do things in your own wonderful way because we’ll be around, waiting patiently for the nice surprises you can prepare to share with us, thank you Sir!
@@SirHairless She is very famous in some circles... She has six Latin Grammy with her album "El mal querer" (translated something like "the wrong love") album. You have to hear it. It wasn't her first one but the one that made her famous. It's base was her final career project and mix pop, trap and flamenco. Every song has two titles, the song title and a "title chapter" of a medieval book called "Flamenca" (nothing to do with the musical style, it was the name of the book's main character). Rosalía previous works were flamenco related and the later ones were more urban/reggaeton. I liked El mal querer and she has two or three collabs that I like but her reggaeton/urban works aren't my cup of tea.
@@SirHairless She is a chameleon, we have only one like her in each generation, worldwide, and I am not talking about vocals, she is just an animal of the stages, the whole pack, there are better singers but not many can touch hearts as she do it. Each song is a surprise, explore her but take something in mind, collaborations with North and South americans are for her the way to conquer the world, to become famous, and she succeded as she got those grammy for her second album being not famous at all at that moment,but at the end of the day she was trained as a flamenco singer so her songs with flamenco roots are the most impressive. The collaborations also are interesting, because as I said she is absolutly of another level, but is in songs like "De plata" where she is at her best. Don´t miss that song. Its available live, in Sevilla, check that version. Impressive. Ah, and she is funny! very funny, she moves from the most intrascendental mood to performances like the one of this video which was in the " Spanish Oscars" awards called "Goya" , the whole country was listening and the song is , you know, one of those the whole country knows so was really " a moment" not only for her, for Spain. Next morning she was in all conversations, all papers, all tv channels, for that performance. The voice you can listen when she finish saying " Bravo!" is Penelope Cruz ;)
What a great reaction to this brilliant artist. Thank you! Rosalía has a stunning voice but she also produces, composes and writes most of her music too as well as bringing the creative ideas for her videos too which in themselves are like art pieces. You mentioned Rosalía's University, but did you know her second album 'El Mal Querer' was her final year project. This album also won her, her first Grammy. To me the song that best showcases her voice is a live version of De Plata live from Sevilla. Here's the link to help you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wfuPWAKGjBE.html She is also very unique in her musical arrangement which is brilliantly demonstrated in her song De Aqui No Sales. Rosalía doesn't seem to have a specific genre although she does use aspects of flamenco in a lot of her music which as brought this style screaming into the 21st century. Rosalía has songs which could be considered pop, trap, hip hop, reggaetton, bachata and more. Looking forward to your future Rosalía reactions 😊
I for one loved this. The juxtaposition between the lyrical content and the choral harmonies coupled with her voice going from achingly fragile to full belt made this so very compelling. I would add that her vocals at the end made this perhaps the greatest end to a song I've ever heard.
Rosalía suele ir de color rojo en sus actuaciones en directo, o combinar el rojo con el negro o con el blanco. Es parte de su imagen artística. Los españoles somos muy apasionados igual que el flamenco, y el color rojo nos representa muy bien. También nuestra bandera es roja y amarilla. Ella es un genio musical, y es la que decide cómo van las notas, todo lo que escuchas en sus actuaciones es así tal cual, porque ella lo ha decidido hacer así. Todo lo que hace es innovador y lo hace siempre genial.
I suggested you Aunque es de noche, flamenco song based in a poem from San Juan de la Cruz sXVI, its a version of Rosalia ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6s-MQzPZ6IE.htmlsi=1cHPAa3-6XxCx8yA
Please tienes que reaccionar a Mónica naranjo,a su tema Europa en vivo en conierto minage tour....en realidad a cualquier vídeo de ella en directo, valdra mucho la pena oir( en mi caso leer los subtítulos )tu opinion sobre nuestra gran diva 👍para ti .
Es un placer escuchar a alguien entendido en música analizar a Rosalía para apreciar aún más lo que hay detrás de cada tema de esta musa. Me gustaría que analizaras más temas suyos, de "El mal querer·", o de "Motomami" o de otras canciones sueltas. Gracias. Los vídeos son otra de sus habilidades, hacer buenos vídeos musicales, que sobresalen.
Well I too have to be in a certain mood to listen to such kind of music with all the dissonance, but it´s very special and interesting. Although I definitly do prefere harmony - in music and in life
Bellísima colaboración de lisa y rosalia está buenísimo desdé el vídeo impresionante hasta la canción de varios cambios y Rosalía canta español y inglés desdé Tenerife España ❤
The guy in front of the choir is the record producer, El Guincho, he's from the Canary Islands but also graduated from a school in Barcelona. His first album, Palmitos Park, is quite peculiar
Exactamente, no hay instrumento alguno, sólo las voces del coro y la voz de Rosalía. En la grabación por tv, sí que tapa bastante la voz de Rosalía en ciertos momentos, es la única pega, que pongo en este video. No sé, si en el teatro dónde se hizo los Goya, allí en directo, se escuchó mejor, o se notase más, que el coro, en mi humilde opinión, estaba sonando algo más que Rosalía, en ciertos momentos, pero esta actuación, es muy buena. A mí me gusta más ella en sus comienzos, con su álbum Los Ángeles, y luego su segundo álbum, el archiconocido El Mal querer, que tanto musicalmente, como sus vídeos, son puro arte. Luego llegó su etapa más comercial, y ahí, ya no va conmigo. Pero la respeto como cantante, productora, y sobretodo por sus composiciones, y como revive canciones antiguas, que lo hace con mucho respeto.
@@Rosa-fc3yw I just said in the video what I hear, and e.g. 6:50, 7:08- these are the purest bass tones I've ever heard, quite out of line with the rest of the choir If you could send me some articles/information where they confirm it's just voices, that would be great! Of course, these videos on RU-vid could have had some post-production done to the (or even at the time). All I'm saying is the bass tone is completely different to the rest of the choir, and it could be for many reasons (including a superb singer 😉)
@@SirHairlessPues vas a tener razón. Me aseguraron dos invitados, que en su día estuvieron en esa gala, que se celebró en Sevilla, que sólo estaba el coro y Rosalía. Al decirme que te buscase algún artículo, he podido leer que al fondo estaba al teclado el guincho, que es productor de varios artistas, una de ellas su gran amiga Rosalía. Como el escenario estaba al fondo entre colores rojos y negros, como creando sombras, no se ve bien, pero ahí está el guincho, y también el director del coro. Te copio el artículo que he leído, te lo pongo a continuación, un saludo, y por favor reacciona ha Diana Navarro, El perdón, Adiós, Sola, Cuplerias y así un sin fin de canciones suyas, creo que te gustará. Como también te gustará Mónica Naranjo. Artículo Rosalía preparó 'Me quedo contigo' con el Cor Jove del Orfeo Catalá, una actuación que ya tiene más de 2,5 millones de visualizaciones en internet, "en un tiempo récord" y con solo dos ensayos juntos, algo solo al alcance, según su director, Esteve Nabona, de "personas diez, con mucha formación musical". Me quedo contigo' es una versión, en la que también la ha acompañado El Guincho, del tema de Los Chunguitos, que formó parte de la banda sonora de 'Deprisa, deprisa' (1981), de Carlos Saura. El director del coro, Esteve Nabona, ha explicado este martes que Rosalía se puso en contacto con ellos hace dos semanas: "Se ve que le gustó el trabajo que había hecho con el coro infantil para el tema 'Bagdad', de su disco 'El mal querer'". La catalana le encargó, "con ordenes muy precisas", a Bernat Vivancos los arreglos, y el compositor los tuvo listos "en un par de días". A partir de ahí, los miembros del coro empezaron los ensayos, que grababan y mandaban en vídeo por wasap a la cantante, que estaba aquellos días en Los Ángeles (EE. UU.), para que ésta hiciera las correcciones que considerara. "La sensación que hemos tenido todos es que Rosalía tiene una formación musical espectacular y que sabe perfectamente lo que quiere. Es un diez. Es muy musical y sensible. Ha estado muchos años trabajando duro, y eso se nota en unos tiempos en los que todo es efímero", alaba Nabona. El primer día que ensayaron fue el pasado jueves y el viernes, un día antes de la gala de los Goya, fue el ensayo general, "y eso fue todo", se ríe el director del Cor Jove del Orfeo Catalá sobre su absolutamente insólita y "espectacular" actuación. En el tema, el coro vocaliza con una "u" y con una "a" al principio, y hay momentos en los que dice las sílabas del texto con notas muy largas para darle una base armónica que El Guincho (el músico Pablo Díaz-Reixa) acentúa con un teclado que les permite no perder la afinación. Hay momentos, ha revelado Nabona, en los que hay hasta nueve voces distintas, "con muchas disonancias y una armonía bastante compleja, lo que da una sensación importante de misticismo". "Ha sido un récord absoluto. Estamos preparando dos repertorios a la vez, y esto lo encajamos entre ellos. Estamos muy contentos con el resultado porque está teniendo una repercusión inimaginable", subraya Nabona. Sobre las "acusaciones" que algún colectivo ha hecho a Rosalía de apropiación de la cultura gitana, Nabona ha señalado que "nada es sacro en música" y que Los Chunguitos "están muy contentos". Los 40 miembros del coro, chicos y chicas de entre 16 y 25 años, que finalmente la han acompañado -"son 60, pero hubo que sacrificar a 20"- están "superemocionados" con la experiencia: "La partitura es una maravilla y actuar en directo con ella, otra, porque el género coral no es precisamente de masas. Estamos abiertos a más colaboraciones", añade riéndose.
Hello, I really like the Neus videos. The dissonances you mention are very frequent in flamenco. It always seems that the notes do not reach the place. I can recommend that you listen to Paco de Lucía, especially on solo guitar and in older videos with classical flamenco repertoire, Seguidillas, Bulerías, etc. Not so much in his later era.
wow, amazing reaction and analysis!!!!!! Im a big fan of this track, and i would love if you check "1:5" Live version of Chichilla.....i think you gonna love her!!!
"y hay momentos en los que dice las sílabas del texto con notas muy largas para darle una base armónica que El Guincho (el músico Pablo Díaz-Reixa) acentúa con un teclado que les permite no perder la afinación." "and there are moments in which they say the syllables of the text with very long notes to give it a harmonic base that El Guincho (the musician Pablo Díaz- Reixa) accentuates with a keyboard that allows them not to lose tuning."
