ROSALÍA: influences
Apple Music
Los Ángeles—ROSALÍA's 2017 album of nuevo flamenco ballads in the spirit of Lole y Manuel—made waves, but singles like “Malamente”, which folds flamenco palmas into underground hip-hop beats, show firepower and innovation that put her beyond her genre peers. Another example, “PIENSO EN TU MIRÁ”, employs James Blake-inspired synths and atmospherics, combining R&B with the vocal duende of flamenco.
