La Perla (part. Yahritza Y Su Esencia)

The story behind

When Rosalía released Malamente, one of the songs included in El Mal Querer, she was already exploring sonic paths that would connect her with a wider audience. This piece, which mixes the essence of flamenco with urban rhythms, was a turning point, managing to capture the attention of critics and the public. In fact, it was with this work that she positioned herself as the Spanish artist with the most Latin Grammy awards obtained for a single album, accumulating two accolades out of five nominations. The production of Malamente featured the collaboration of musicians such as Noah Goldstein, Ryan Tedder, and Sir Dylan, who contributed to the piece's particular sound. The context in which Malamente emerged is fundamental to understanding its impact. The artist, whose real name is Rosalía Vila Tobella and was born in Sant Esteve Sesrovires, near Barcelona, demonstrated with this track her ability to fuse musical traditions with contemporary trends. The song stood out for its originality, and the album containing it, El Mal Querer, became a benchmark for her artistic proposal.
