Rosalía El mal Querer Album Reaction/Review

[@CubaFloresDorantesLuis]

Yes a project in portraying a very well known Flamenco love story but in her own version of music and interpritation,which is unique because it has Flamenco and other elements of trap music and other genres.

[@saretzi]

Malamente: Flamenca has a bad feeling about her husband-to-be buy ignores it Que no salga la luna: The wedding, everybody in the ceremony knows how horrible his future husband is but everybody decides to remain quiet about it. Pienso en tu mirá: Her husband starts showing his real ways, he becomes obsessed with Flamenca De aquí no sales: Her husband has an outburst of jealousy and locks her down, she is also beaten up. Reniego: Flamenca becomes depressed after everything that's happened to her, and she talks about how she has to pretend to be happy Preso: talks about how she was so trapped in her toxic relationship and didn't realize until she was out of it. Bagdad: she meets the man who will become her lover in this chapter, it also talks about the redflags that were given to her when she met her husband. Di mi nombre: talks about the time she spends with her lover and how he makes her feel. Nana: Flamenca becomes pregnant, but the baby dies due to the mistreatment that she receives from her husband, Flamenca becomes even sadder. Maldición: Flamenca realizes how trapped she is and decides to kill her husband in order to be free at last. A ningún hombre: Flamenca becomes completely independent, she killed her husband and ended her relationship with her lover.

Oh, girl, you're a very intuitive person, how many of the meanings inside the songs you was able to feel! I know you was training hard with all your reactions to Rosalía, but... woww, lady! This album is very conceptual even for us who speak Spanish. And you, only with a translation that you are not listening, can string together the ideas. Respect! Now, like a crazy fan of Rosalía like us, you have to do one more step further. Watch this video (don't react, It's quite long) from a spanish musician, producer and youtuber, Jaime Altozano, talking about "El mal querer" from the point of view of music and production: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJiriXmKnMaJipI. It comes with English subtitles and is very illuminating about Rosalía's art. And finally, you can watch the comments of Rosalía, with subtitles also (and red eyebrows, lol), about that video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJrRo4V8aqeUi5o. After that you will be a full graduated in Rosalian knowledge 😉. Stay safe and have a funny day!

The thing you said about the Arabic feel is actually a typical thing in flamenco singing (the “vibrations “ or waves of the voice) but definitely comes from the Arabic world as Arabs conquered Spain and stayed there for 800 years!! So yeah definitely Arab heritage, flamenco has tons of different influences

[@zaldum386]

I´m surprised the amount of things you are getting without knowing spanish, it´s actually a wedding and it was actually a knive, great reaction!! Much love from Spain

[@frankoceanstanaccount7126]

Grace, you finally did it! I loved your reaction, it's actually very rare to find a reaction channel that actually does the full album, I appreciate that! My favorite song would be Maldición, it's so pretty yet heart-breaking and brave and experimental... I just love it. It's also a pivotal point for the whole story of the album. Don't wanna sound cocky or anything but I'll tell you some of my theories about stuff you said flew over your head... In MALAMENTE the purple robe guy is a Nazareno a religius figure from the Holy Week in spain. I've read, and agree, that is actually the MAN, representing his both sides. He is showing himself as the cool guy in a skateboard, but he's also very traditional/conservative person. in PIENSO EN TU MIRÁ Rosalia sings about bullets in the chest (that's why every man we see is bleeding from the heart. They feel their wife's/mother's/girlfriend's gaze is making them bleed by watching other men on the street). It's all about toxic masculinity. In DE AQUI NO SALES, when Rosalía stops singing we heard her moaning and yelling. The man is beating her up. In PRESO we hear the voice of ROSI DE PALMA, a well known spanish actress who is also a domestic violence survivor. She's friend with Rosalía too. There's also a conection between BAGDAD and DI MI NOMBRE, in the first we hear "FROM THE LIGHTS, COMES A FALLEN ANGEL, HE HAS A MARK ON HIS SOUL BUT SHE DIDN'T SEE IT". She finds a new man, Di mi nombre is about that man. The sex, the extasis, the passion between them two. NANA means lullaby, and it's a mix of popular lullabies. The song, to me, means Rosalía's character lost her baby. That's why she talks about babies and angels. Maybe the death of the baby has something to do with the ex-husband, which leads to MALDICIÓN. She kills the man in MALDICIÓN, for sure lol. And in the end, A NINGÚN HOMBRE, she embraces the pain and suffer she went trough, to come out as a new woman. Free of it all! The album was produced by EL GUINCHO, a dear friend of Rosalía. They worked really hard on it, Rosalía actually teached El Guincho everything about flamenco, since she has a master on flamenco music. El Guincho is the pilot in the Con Altura music video, he's also featured in the song. They did El Mal Querer tour together too! A powerful duo, for sure😘

[@frankoceanstanaccount7126]

And thanks again, you nailed every single song interpretation. I just loved how you took the subject and give us your opinion on it. You have a beautiful soul!

[@frankoceanstanaccount7126]

​@@GraceDinma Well, we're all quarantined so... I personally have a lot of time to kill, no problem lol. It helps me improve my english too. The original novel has no ending, got lost over the years, so after chapter 5 or 7 Rosalía took some liberties with the storyline. About the lost ending, some people put the blame on the church, because the novel was so "sinful" at that time and it became a forbidden lecture, so... Yeah, weird old stuff haha. We might never know! She obviously nailed it with that ending, she's a genius after all! Anton "Puchito" aka C Tangana (Spanish singer, too), Rosalía's boyfriend at the time, worked on the album as well. Some people say she took some inspiration from their relationship to write this album hahaha. Anton always talks wonders about her tho. They have a collab, called "ANTES DE MORIRME" (BEFORE I DIE), you should check it out!

[@isabelsantos4310]

The claps of the second song are bulerias, a style a flamenco.

[@vickdepaula2690]

The first song is about the bad feeling she has about her future husband, she was basically sold to him, in the video she's the bull, (this is why she was putted inside the truck like an animal), when she's with the motorcycle and he's toreando her, we see the sword just when she looks into his eyes, in this moment she lost everything. The nazareno represents the religion, something she really tames. In the second song, he sings about their wedding, he knows she don't love him but says she'll be with him until she's dead, she have no choice. Third song talks about his jealous, in the first scene we can see the flamenca doll and the truck hit a wall, it means the husband is so focused on her he forgets the rest of the world. In this video the husband is the bull, he stalks her inside the house, and every time he sees her so beautiful, it feels like a bullet inside his heart, that's why all men in this video bleed. He break the house when she gets out to the street, that little doll is her getting beaten up, all those knifes represent how he sees her on the street, being attached for all men. In the end, the truck fell, representing her, beaten up one more time, but the oranges mean "promises and hope", she's really thinking it can be ok some way. Te fourth song shows the moment the husband put her in a tower, he's so jealousy he can't take no more. She's drowning and he comes home, burning up in jealous and anger. After beat her up one more time and threatening her, he decides the only way is lock her down. The girl running away in the motorcycle is just him thinking about what she could do. The fifth song talks about her first pregnancy, she's denying the child, she don't wanna have anything with that evil man, but, what could se do? The song cover shows her conflict In the sixth song she's now out of the tower with her second kid, she's tied to her husband definitely, she's accepting it, she talks about being in hell and in heaven with two angels (her kids). The cover shows only her head locked and her hope (the oranges representing the kids) in her arms. The seventh song is the most important moment, she meets her lover, she's depressed and crying rivers, the lover sees her sad and directionless crying and praying on the street, he's the fallen angel but when she put her eyes on him, she stops drowning, she's now really in love. The eighth (and my favorite) song talks about sex. She's having sex with her lover for the very first time. That "yali yali" reminds a gypsy ritual name yeliyeli when the proof the bride is really virgin before the honeymoon. She's not physical virgin, but is her first time having sex with some one she really loves, so she's "loosing her virginity". In the video she's waiting her lover on the bed, but she keeps remembering her psycho husband, it's clear when she goes to the darkest room and make the bull signal with the hands. She runs away from this thoughts and jumps back on the bed and her moves represent she's now making it with her lover. Ninth song now is talking about another pregnancy, but now is the lover's kid. Her husband finds out the cheat and beat her up once again, she lost her baby, that's why she says about selling shoes on heaven's door, cause her little angel is coming there shoeless. The 10th song, ins the moment when she kills her abuser, she's wondering in the lyrics she needs to find a way to get out of it (how we see in the cover), this way is killing him. She regrets falling in love with the lover, because "love causes pain, endless pain" The last song is when she really over it, her lover starts wanting to lock her down, just like her husband. She leaves her definitely, she don't need any men in her life, she's her own guide, she points her own way (it is clear in the cover) she says she will tattoo their name to never forget all the pain she live with this two men. Edit: sorry any orthography errors, I'm not an English speaker ❤️

spanish is not even my third language but i was able to understand some of the meanings.. but your comment was perfect you explained everything clearly thank you

[@zhehe2894]

Thank you 🙏 😊

[@alexandrabelloso2176]

The entire album is based off a really old book (that has some chapters missing) where a couple gets married, but then the man becomes obsessed with her and extremely jealous (first couple of songs are from his view), then she meets another man and falls in love with him but still can't leave the man she married (Di mi nombre is the girl talking to her new lover). Then she gets pregnant from her husband, but loses the baby (Nana is her lamenting the death of her child), and the last songs are her deciding to kill her husband and being her own person, saying how only God can judge her actions and how she's never gonna forget what he did to her.

"En la puerta del cielo venden zapatos pa' los angelitos que están descalzos"; in heaven's gate they sold shoes for the little angels that are barefoot (the babies that never have the oportunity of wearing shoes). Very sad song, I know, I cry always when I hear it. The song "Preso" (prisoner) sais the she has two babies with her husband who live. The voice of an elder woman says that she went down to the hell but she come back with two angels. Sorry for my English, not too good. I love your reactions.

[@moiravanchristen]

Wow! I'm quite impressed by your cultural and music sensitivity and honest interest in going deep into it! Although not pure flamenco, many of the songs are very much rooted in it. Even for many Spaniards like myself, who are not knowledgeable in the flamenco culture, some of the songs are quite complex, in their imagery and even musically. In any case, I do believe there is something about every form of folk music that has a universal quality, transcending time and geographical distance. It's very nice to see that this speaks to you and you actually get it instinctively🙂

[@blancasanjuan2303]

You have to watch Jaime Altozano's video about her! The hole album tells a story, from the XIV century, about a girl who marries a jealous possessive man who beats her with whom she has two kids and how she frees herself from that prison. The first song called Malamente (Badly) is also called "Capítulo 1 Augurio(Omen)" that tell us things are going to go bad for her. The second song is the wedding song. In that song she sangs "Si hay alguien que aquí se oponga que no levante la voz" - (If there is someone who opposes here, do not raise your voice) as to sense more that the girl is trapped in that marriage. The third song is called "Pienso en tu mirá Capitulo 3 - Celos(jealousy)" In which we know about how her husband becommes sick of jealousy. Rosalia sings as she was the husband and says something like "It scares me when you go out to the street smiling, because everyone can see the dimples you have. " I'm jealous of "the air when it passes, because it raises your hair, and of the gold you wear, for clinging to your neck." The last song Rosalia sings " A ningún hombre consiento que dicte mi sentencia" (I consent to no man to sign my sentence) To demonstrate how she has empower herself and left. The album reflects on love and relationships, and how a story 600 years old with a modern touch could still be so relatable for many women these days.

Di mi nombre makes a mention to one men, who is Rosalia’s lover and what she feels when she is with him and that she has to take care because her husband from the toxic relationship can’t know that because if not she could die.

[@aurialos]

the religious figure on an skateboard is a Nazareno and represents penitence! ppl specially in southern spain (where flamenco music was born) dress up like that in easter and whipe theselves or carry tons heavy images of Christ as a mourning for his death. It works like a symbol of the penitence this young women will have to go throught to get over her abusive ex! but also shouts out how she is reinventing spanish traditions (a parallelism between Flamenco and Nazarenos VS Music that youngs listen to symbolized with an skater)

Hi Grace. You did it again girl! Thank you so much for this video. Loved your interpretations of the songs, loved your comments. Again, thank you! I love all the songs in the Album, but I guess my favourite is Chapter 2, The Wedding, I really wish you could understand spanish because the way she sings it it's scary to witness knowing that it's revealed from the male perspective, it feels, to me, like he is buying her with gold and diamonds, like she is only a thing. Chapter 6 is narrated buy a Spanish actress called Rossy De Palma, in the backround while she speaks we can hear Rosalía repeat the word DUELE wich means "It Hurts". There's a lot to discover in the Album, but I guess you'll find out. Keep up the good content :) (and sorry about my english)

In the bed she is "safety" because acting for him, being his, always available, he shows lovely... but in the moment that she put a step out of the room the fears (the dancers with the face cover) start to hunting her... she walk further and it turns even worse (the light turns darker) so she goes back as fast as she can't to the bed, so scared, like saying "I'm back, I'm in the bed, I'm yours"... so she is back in the "safety" That's what I get from that video

Is just so amazing the fact that you said at the end of the second song (Que no salga la Luna) how could you feel that something overwhelming was going on without knowing that’s the song about, because that’s actually true! The song is about a wedding. But not a happy wedding, more like a funeral wedding. tells the story of a woman who’s about to marry with an abuser, a bad guy. The whole album is the story of what this women went through, chapter by chapter.

[@alexhernandezstantwitter]

Grace, I just want to let you know that on PRESO - Cap.6: Clausura, she talks about how she went to hell because of love. In this case, hell is her being with her husband and of course, we can interpret that he is the devil causing all her suffering. However, in the lyrics of this song, she says that she doesn’t regret going to hell because she rose with two angles, and those angles refer to two children she had with him. However, she makes it clear that even though she rose with two angles, she still went to hell, telling us that the hell she is living is not over yet. And at the end of the song, she then asks how she ended up where she is, which is when we see her starting to realize that she’s in a horrible and toxic relationship with her husband. Also, having a guy, Rosi De Palma, sing/tell the song adds a different dynamic and perspective to it as well as a powerful feel since Rosi De Palma is a domestic violence survivor. And thank you so much for reacting to El Mal Querer. You reaction was amazing and quite accurate!😄 By the way, El Mal Querer was inspired by an anonymous, 13th-century Occitan novel called Flamenca. Rosalía actually changed the ending of the novel on her album so that at the end, we see the female protagonist get over that toxic and macabre relationship and be the one who triumphs at the end, showcasing female empowerment. Also, the baby that she had in NANA is probably from her and her lover and her husband probably killed the baby, which then leads to her fury in MALDICIÓN which also includes the fury from all the inhumane things he did to her.

Ok, the religious figure is called "nazareno", The nazareno usually represents the Inquisition (that I know of) On the second one It's not exactly that the bride doesn't want to marry, she wants. But we know that he is going to mistreat her and the song ask us to not say anything. It says "Whoever oppose this wedding don't raise your hand". The 3th one says "I think of your gaze sticks, like a dagger, on my chest.

I love that you have do much respect to different cultures and you are taking inspirations from cultures. Hope more prople would be interested in cultures to be aware of more stuff

[@Karla-qf9rl]

Rosalía is from Spain, her whole music and dances are inspired in Flamenco (a tipical Spanish dance and music) but she represent them in a more modern way, maybe you'd like to look It so you can understand her better ^^ ❤️.

I really love this reaction its so great! El MaL Querer is a work of art a theater play😄😄😄😄

[@isaacramos9180]

I think all her album is about a book that she read. Each chapter is a song.

[@GraceDinma]

isaac ramos yes it is based on a novel. Lol a book I need to read as well

[@bobbyzabin4983]

you are so engaging!! i loved your reaction, personality, and intelligence 💕

[@SdeSempai]

Hi. You should react to Nathy Peluso's album "Calambre" is iconic. I swear. In short, the album tells the story of a woman who does not want to get married. It also makes a criticism of the macho society, etc.

[@carolinaalmeida6956]

Please react to Mariza singing "Gente da Minha Terra" is a Portuguese fado singer who will leave you in the same state of trance and almost certainly you will be thrilled. I highly recommend it. please react !! :) :)

[@ninasoares5041]

I absolutely second that. Or react to her singing "desejos vãos". Both are featured in her live performance in Lisbon!

[@marianabarreiros6613]

Please react to Mariza. She is the best! 😘😘😘

[@fkaangel]

i’m only at the beginning of the video but this album is a retelling of a 13th century book. every song serves as a chapter in the story (hence the double naming on every song). Malamente serves as a prologue of sorts. It’s chapter, or capítulo, name translates to “omen.” in Malamente, she’s warning the listener that the love is going to go wrong and that this will be bad (malamente translates to badly), hence the album’s name “El Mal Querer,” or The Bad Love. the second song, Que No Salga La Luna, translates to The Moon Doesn’t Come Out. The chapter name translates to “wedding,” like you guessed, and it’s the start of the love story the album follows.

Looove the reaction and the makeup keep it up u doin good❤

Francesca Jane thanks boo 🥰💜

[@marshoquee]

Im impressed about how many thing you deduced just by listening the song and the lyrics in english because i have been listening this album since it came out and i did a podcast about it but i needed to read a lot before doing a podcast because even me that i speak spanish, it was a little bit difficult to understand everything about the album. You are amazing, girl. :)

The figure on the skateboard is a religious thing in Spain.

[@GraceDinma]

Francesca Jane what does it symbolize? Why on a skateboard

[@rafallamas1245]

@@GraceDinma the 'nazareno' in a skateboard is like a way of joinning tradition with contemporary, like she does with this whole album meeting flamenco with new techniques

[@francescajane3772]

@@GraceDinma being on the skate board doesn't simbolies nothing but in Spain on the time of Easter we have semana Santa witch is like a religious Easter. And people dress up in like those figures but if u look up on google "semana Santa " U can see more in depth.

[@GraceDinma]

Rafa Llamas ahhhh makes sense

[@rojimyayang5857]

A Nazareno is a penitent. I think It comes from the idea of the hipocresy of being so religious and the same time he treats badly to her (showed when he is bullfighting her).

You should watch c.tangana, he is Rosalia ex-boyfriend and also pretty big in Spain!

[@helena5403]

nana means lullaby that's why she's pregnant in that song. also there are a lot of references to Christian tradicions like the capitotes (the guy skating in the purple suit in malamente) or in Bagdad when she compares herself to the virgin mary

[@benjaminvielma4586]

di mi nombre talks about a night of love with another man, that’s why she’s happy. this man also appears in bagdad whe she talks about an angel that came down from the clouds 🥺

For the people who don't know, the skater is not a KKK member. He is a "Nazareno" and it's a really important figure of a Spanish fest called Semana Santa. It's a religious thing and there's nothing racist about it. Btw girl you slayed guessing the meaning of every song and what it symbolizes.

[@andreacarretero1644]

Hi!! I really recommend you watch Jaime Altozano's video on this album. It has English subtitles. It really changed my perspective on Rosalia

[@AntonioLopez-uq2bj]

Look at this picture, it is a reference to a Spanish paiter, Goya: la maja vestida es.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_maja_vestida

[@miguelikoazo]

Hey Grace, thank you for your review!!! 😊 You looked stunning and made a 40 minute video feel way shorter that it actually is hahahah! I'm not one to usually comment on videos, but I've already read some comments that mistaken the story a bit, and wanted to clarify some things (all of this being my point of view, I may be incorrect about some things but it makes way more sense!). The chapters are not in chronological order, every song is about the same man, but the order would go a little more like 1.Malamente, 2.Que No Salga La Luna, 3. Di Mi Nombre, 4.Pienso En Tu Mirá, 5.De Aquí No Sales, 6.Bagdad, 7.Nana, 8.Maldición, 9.Reniego, 10.A Ningún Hombre, 11.Preso. Our protagonist first of all feels the red flags but falls in love with this man, then marries him and has a very passionate relationship (mostly sexually). Then her husband starts being consumed by jealousy which eventually turns into violence and a lot of emotional trauma and pain for her. At some point she got pregnant, and finally she starts to realize how bad he is for her and becomes this empowered woman, free from that awful and harmful toxic relationship. Finally we have the spoken track, where she narrates how it felt from the inside, explaining that it was genuine hell, but from that relationship she got her two "angels", referring to her children, that were the best thing to ever have happened to her. I really loved your review, since you were so immersed and open minded about it from the first moment! You truly took this seriously and got the point of it even though it was on a whole different language (some people here over Spain don't even try). Rosalía is truly doing it like no one else at the moment, boldly bringing together ancient things about our culture with a whole new refreshing twist to it, and it truly excites me just to imagine what she will bring to us in future projects! Can't wait for her next work😊

[@GraceDinma]

Miguel Azorín aww thank you 🙏🏾❤️ I appreciate this a lot. Your take is basically what I got from the album too

[@rarerecords1838]

I'm gonna give you a very bierf contextualization, chapter 1 wich is Malamente talks about how she knows the relationship she is getting in is bad but she wanna ignore that fact, chapter 2 ''Que No Salga La Luna'' talks about how people around her knows she is entering in a bad situation but says ''don't tell the wife, don't let the moon rise'' so people doesn't tell her, chapter 3 ''Pienso En Tu Mirá'' (Thinking bout ur eyes or see or something like that, forgive my english sorry) talks how jealousy is becoming her relationship and that it feels like a gun in the chest, 4 ''De aqui no sales'' the man talks how she can't go out of that relation, 5 ''Reniego'' lets says she is now like feeling bad for it (I really don't know how to explain it, El Mal Querer is such a Masterpiece and u get speechless and with ur heart dancing) 6 wich is Clausura talks about how she lived the literal hell, but she doesn't regrets cuz she got up of it with ''2 angels'' (the teory says that after Di Mi Nombre and Nana she have 2 babies) and well u know the rest, 7 is Bagdad wich is a sample of Cry Me A River and Timberlake loved how Rosi ended making a whole new piece it talks about like a lie, like danger, 8 Di Mi Nombre talks about the feeling of losing your virginity and all that stuff is represented on the video, 9 NANA, She now gives birth, 10 Maldición, here she kills the toxic man who affected and destroy her life, and 11 ''A Ningún Hombre (To no man or something like that) she go out of all that time being empowered... PS: In Bagdad in the beggining sounds ''Lo Presiento'' wich is an unreleased song she sings on her tour

[@luciagil9008]

The skateboarder is a Nazarene, a Spanish religious figure that takes part during processions in Semana Santa (Easter). They are penitents so you may sometimes see them barefooted. He is in a skate (with spikes, he is a penitent) to symbolize how even though he may seem quiet moder he is actually a traditional person

[@luciagil9008]

The colours of the costume vary according to the brotherhood's rules and they have their head covered because the are penitents, therefore sinners so by wearing their face covered they don't know they are a sinner. At least it was like that during antiquity, now I suppose it is just to keep with the tradition

[@blancacanete2212]

Seriously, I offer myself to translate all the lyrics into English. In fact, there are some words, in some songs, in "caló", a specific language of the gypsy people, since this is related to flamenco style, as you know. I'm not an expert, but, at least, I understand a few words that can help you understand better what she's expressing in the lyrics. And also when she or others speaks in some moments. That would help you to understand what's going on in the story, the development.

[@eliassanchez8831]

[@mariarueda7284]

Hi, i dont know if you will see it, but the nazareno is a religious figure of self martirice to feel more like jesus during his kill. All the malamente symbolism is about suffers, just like when she is representing the bull in the bullfigth.
