The Spanish singer is getting ready to drop her album Lux, which features Yahritza, Bjork, Yves Tumor, and more
There could be a collaboration in the works between two of the most avant-garde acts in Spanish-language music. After previously declaring herself a fan of Latin Mafia, Rosalía recently spent a wild night in Mexico City with the genre-bending trio.
In August, Rolling Stone caught up with Latin Mafia and during the chat, the de la Rosa brothers mentioned Rosalía as an artist that they would love to collaborate with in the future. A few days later, the Spanish pop star said in an Ask Me Anything with Elle that she would include Latin Mafia in a dream music festival line-up. After mentioning each other in interviews, Latin Mafia and Rosalía’s worlds finally collided last week.
While Rosalía was in Mexico City on Oct. 29 hosting a listening session for her upcoming album Lux, she ended up partying with Latin Mafia. The Motomami hit-maker broadcast most of the evening’s festivities to her fans on TikTok live: Rosalía and Latin Mafia first enjoyed a drag show with Jenni Rivera and Juan Gabriel impersonators. As Rivera, La Más Draga star Deborah La Grande poured a bottle of tequila into Rosalía’s mouth.
The night culminated at La Casa De Toño where Rosalía enjoyed local Mexican food like pozole and enfrijoladas with Latin Mafia. After the late night meal, Milton of Latin Mafia gifted Rosalía a necklace that included a pendant of the Virgin of Guadalupe. She later wrote Lux on his arm, so that he could get it tattooed. Though Latin Mafia don’t feature on Lux album, after this surprising hang in CDMX, there’s a strong chance that they might join forces in the studio very soon.
