Rosalía provides music to the La Mercè 2024 Pyromusical, in Barcelona

Music news

That Rosalia is a versatile and multifaceted star, which is not news or a surprise to anyone. We know that he sings, dances, composes, produces, acts, experiments and collaborates with artists who, at first glance, would not be a good fit. Anyone would say that he still has things to do. However, we have recently found a new activity that he has crossed off his list.

On the occasion of Barcelona's main festival, The Catalan has become a music programmer. Her job has been to choose the songs that will be played during the La Mercè Fireworksthe light, sound and fireworks show that will take place on September 24 on Avenida de María Cristina in Barcelona.

The city council of Barcelona has been responsible for informing about this event, which will therefore be marked by Motomami's own favorite hits and, although he still doesn't know the list of them, we hope that he will include some hits from his own discography to put the finishing touch to the popular festivities of what will always be his home.

We also don't know if the artist, who in recent weeks has been in New York to attend Fashion Week, will decide to head to Catalonia or if, on the contrary, she will stay in the United States for continue working on their fourth studio album, which will once again surprise us with that balance between tradition and avant-garde. “It's been a process. I've changed a lot, but at the same time I'm still thinking about the same things. It's like I still have the same questions and the same desire to answer them. I still have the same love for the past and the same curiosity for the future”he told Highsnobiety magazine recently.
