Merengue has been a thing this whole decade with Becky G, Manuel Turizo, El Alfa, Omega (actual latinos) making merengue hits. 1

Popular Post Guilherme Make Love Posted June 24 Popular Post Posted June 24 (edited) There´s nothing more cringe than some people from US calling someone colonizer, look in the mirror. Some of you actually looks very stupid considering she´s from Catalunya, a place with a very cruel and long history of suffering with colonialism practices, from Napoleonic wars to spanish revolution. There´s a whole independence movement fighting for their autonomy from Spain for decades for a reason, just search it up instead of freaking out over a very common instagram dump post that she does all the time and screaming ´´colonizer´´ because some songs sounds alike.

It's just a photodump, people are doing too much 1
bliaz Posted June 24 Posted June 24 @Sergi91 ¿Eres malinchista? ¿Te inclinas ante los europeos saqueadores de Latinoamérica? Porque eso es lo que es esa mujer. Aunque veo que eres fan de Rocío Dúrcal y tal vez por eso te ofendas. Rocío no se apropiaba de nuestra cultura, ella abrazaba nuestra cultura con amor y respeto y sabía cuál era su lugar. En cambio esta chica viene a pararle el dedo a una latina porque piensa que le está copiando un ritmo que para empezar no es de su cultura, pero como lleva en la sangre lo colonizadora cree que puede robarse lo que quiera de estas tierras y hacerlo pasar como suyo y los que sí son latinos no pueden hacerlo porque la mujercita se ofende. Lo que hay que ver 2
alexrex Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Spaniards getting brave stealing from Latinos, then claiming some sort of originality. I love Rosalia, but she has also profited out of latin music. She didn't invent merengue. 3
MatiRod Posted June 24 Posted June 24 (edited) Rosalia is a smart person and I'm sure she doesn't think she invented merengue, considering she shouted out Omega on "Despechá" and has spent time in DR including helping uplift Tokischa who is Dominican. This 1) could not actually be shade at all, 2) there may be some behind the scenes something we are not privy to… And before I get dragged, I'm Peruvian on my mom's side and proud to be Latino thank u next I like them both, I just don't think this is necessarily shade and it might not be for reasons assumed Edited June 24 by MatiRod

Thesedays Posted June 24 Posted June 24 (edited) 8 hours ago, BOOMBAYAH said: Hispanic/Latin ATRLers, how big is Rosalia in Spain and Latin America? I used to feel like she was huge but her Spotify numbers seem significantly lower than some other artists I think are huge (Maluma, Karol) + her music (to me at least) sounds more cutting edge and alternative than mainstream. Is she a main pop girl or more alt? Rosalia is huge in Spain and very popular in Latin America. But her music is nowhere near as commercial as Karol G's, which is much bigger in Latin America and possibly just as popular in Spain. They have different audiences. Karol G is very pop-urban, while Rosalia is "cooler" and much more artsy. So yes, Rosalia is alt, and Karol G is as popular as you can be. And no, it's 2024, and Maluma isn't "huge" in Latin America. He does OK, but he's not even among the top 10 most popular acts. He gets good numbers because he is a trendhopper. Right now, Mexican music is hot, and that's what he's doing, which means good streaming numbers in the US and Mexico (the top 2 Spotify markets), which inflates his numbers. Rosalia has mainstream hits in Latin America (her Bad Bunny feat, Despechao, Con Altura, among a few others) and is definitely cooler than Maluma. Still, she isn't going to release Mexican music just because it's popular, and most of her catalog is considered alternative. Karol G is bigger than both of them, though. Although tbh, Rosalia's weaker market is the US. In Latin America, she has quite a big audience. US Latinos, on the other hand, don't seem that into her compared to other big, more mainstream Latin acts. While she's popular with Anglo-alt kids, the fact she is Spanish-speaking obviously limits her. So, while she's well-respected in the industry with plenty of opportunities and is seen as a very cool and hot act, she struggles a bit in the US because the market of alt-Latin is limited. I mean, she still has a very respectable career in the US, but while I can see her easily jumping to stadiums in some of the main Latino markets for her next era, she isn't even arena-sized yet in most of the US. Karol G is a stadium act everywhere: the US, Spain, and Latin America. If I were Rosalia's management, I'd try to make her a big festival act in the US, which seems to be a good path for her.

Don't nobody requesting Saoko or Chicken Teriyaki to their DJs. Rosalia is definitely played in clubs in Latin America, no clue what you're on about. Despechao, Con Altura, La Noche de Anoche, and BESO were all big club hits. 1 1

Let's not be dense 5 hours ago, CocoPouf said: Rosalia's streams have to be around 65% from Spain alone - she is huge in Spain and they believe she is at Karol G level. Reality: she is not and won't be. Karol G tour in one city alone (Los Angeles) earned as much as the entire Motomami tour. Rosalia's top 5 markets in Spotify: Mexico City Santiago Madrid Bogota Barcelona It's pretty obvious most of her streams are coming from Latin America and Spain boo. Also, I am from Brazil and Rosalia is definitely considerably more popular than Karol G here. Brazil is an outlier, obviously, but the market for mainstream Latino pop here is minimal, while the alt sound Rosalia does permeates more easily. Edited June 24 by Thesedays

Rosalía is very big in the Hispanic scene but she generates very mixed reactions everywhere she's in because she doesn't fit the mold of a classical popstar, so her music isn't for everyone, so yeah you're right by calling her an alt pop girlie ig Lola Indigo does come close to Rosalia in streams in Spain, though. Obviously, she is not as respected as an artist because she basically does teen pop, but yeah, number-wise, she is almost at Rosalia's level as of last year. Ana Mena isn't even in the top three Spanish pop female acts, nor is Aitana lbr. It's Rosalia, Lola Indigo, and probably Bad Gyal. Edited June 24 by Thesedays
MaxMartin Posted June 24 Posted June 24 team rosalia always + despechá is miles better production & melody wise 1
