A Blossoming Friendship
Born on September 25, 1992 IN Barcelona, Rosalía Vila Tobella, or simply known as Rosalía, is a Spanish singer and songwriter. She skyrocketed to fame by reimagining traditional flamenco sounds, blending them with contemporary hip-hop influences. After making a name for herself in Catalonia, Rosalía achieved mainstream success with her 2018 single "Malamente." Her collaboration with Colombian rapper J Balvin, "Con Altura," was released in March 2019 and garnered over one billion views on YouTube by October of the same year.
Rosalía's talent has been recognized with 13 Latin Grammy Awards, including two Grammys for Best Latin Rock, Urban, or Alternative Album in 2019 and 2022, making her the first woman to achieve this honor twice. In 2019, she also became the first Best New Artist nominee to receive recognition for a Spanish-language album. Rosalía's talents extend beyond music, as evidenced by her appearance in the 2019 Oscar-nominated Spanish film "Dolor y Gloria" (Pain and Glory), which starred Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz.
