It was a remarkable visual; this is an artist who knows how to make an impression. And since releasing her debut album, Los Angeles, in 2017, Rosalía has impressed pretty much everybody. First came laudatory articles in Spain which hailed her for "revolutionizing" and "reinterpreting" flamenco. Then the Latin Recording Academy, faced with the tough task of assessing and ranking art created across the entire Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking diaspora, nominated Rosalía for Best New Artist, which appears to be the first such honor this decade for a Spanish singer working in the flamenco tradition. And the singer's ripples of impact kept spreading outward - "revolution" is an eternally alluring concept, not least because it suggests that knowledge of the source material is no longer a prerequisite for fandom. Rosalía even attracted attention from the English-language press, which rarely engages with Spanish-language music, and is especially unlikely to engage with that music if it's not a heavily-streamed genre like reggaeton or trap.
