Rosalía, known for shaking up the world of flamenco introducing urban vibes, mentioned her roots in her acceptance speech. “Thank you, I wasn’t expecting this, it is such an incredible honor, I am coming from Barcelona and I am so happy to be here representing where I come from, my culture.”

Rosalía’s latest hit, ‘Yo x ti, tú x mi’ comes after her first single in Catalan, ‘Milionària’, which is about to pass the 20 million views on Youtube in less than two months. Although she is still a new artist in the international scene, she has already won several high-honors awards, including two Latin Grammys and one Music Moves Europe Talent prize. She also came fifth in BBC’s Sound of 2019 ranking of rising artists.
