Hundreds, thousands of people, on a Friday night, one of those nights you can tell it’s Friday because your body tells you so, at the Palau Sant Jordi. And then the unimaginable happens. Those hundreds, thousands of people don’t turn to their phones, they don’t need to, because what Rosalía offers is much stronger. The Lux Tour opens the debate: what is more important, capturing the best videos for social media or enjoying the moment? An 80s groupie wouldn’t even consider it, but many of those who went to the Catalan singer’s concert last night had that option, yet most of the time they preferred to watch and listen rather than record. If you don’t use your phone at mass, you don’t use it at a Rosalía concert either.

The Barcelona that in the morning welcomed Lula da Silva (Brazil) and Gustavo Petro (Colombia) and that at night sang the arrival of the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, the Barcelona of tennis at the Godó and also of the fashion shows at 080, all in the same week, has wholeheartedly given itself to Rosalía. It did so on Monday and it did so on Wednesday. This Friday, at her third concert, the one from Sant Esteve Sesrovires was emotional, because she was playing at home again, because her mother and sister were in the audience, and because the new songs completing her album were presented.
Rosalía is a goddess, even though she doesn’t let photographers in (and that’s not forgiven). And there is only one unknown in a meticulously calculated show, the confessional. Despite all the rumors, neither Shakira, nor Belén Esteban, nor even Pedro Sánchez, the Prime Minister of Spain, who was spending the night in Barcelona, got their turn. The one called to confess was Bad Gyal. “She told me if I had ever thought about getting breast implants,” she explained about a man with whom she had a relationship that didn’t work from the start. “He didn’t use his brain much, it was the size of a walnut,” Bad Gyal continued. Laughter and lots of good vibes. Rosalía ended up throwing Magnolias and then, surely, went out there around Barcelona.
