Latin Grammy-winning artist Rosalía has been a rising star in the last few year. Coming from a Flamenco background, she has reveled the fusion with R&B and pop music, and she has even jumped into the big screen in Almodovar’s latest movie, Dolor y gloria, sharing a scene with Penélope Cruz. She is now embarking on her first North American solo tour of North America, which will end in Toronto. Her Gold-certified album El Mal Querer, released on November 2, has not only topped the sales and streaming charts in the first week upon release in Spain, but it has also become the most listened-to album on Spotify Spain in the first 24 hours and in its first week. In addition to being a sales phenomenon, El Mal Querer is one of the best albums of the year according to the international press: Sixth best album of the year for the NY Times and KCRW, best Latin album according to NPR in the U.S. and Noisey / Vice. Di Mi Nombre, the last song released before the album, reached number one on the Spanish singles chart.
