Overview
- Rosalía attended in near silence, reclining onstage as the 18-track, four-movement album played with projected multilingual lyrics and orchestral textures recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra.
- Roughly 900 invited guests entered through a dark tunnel into an all-white staging, with phone cameras taped over and a brief interruption from government rain alerts sounding in the hall.
- High-profile attendees included Culture Minister Ernest Urtasun, Barcelona mayor Jaume Collboni, Estopa, Amaia, Sílvia Pérez Cruz, Rossy de Palma and Belén Esteban.
- A lawyer for Villanueva de Sijena asked a Huesca court to halt the MNAC event over conservation concerns about murals, but the listening party proceeded as planned.
- The full album was reported leaked on social networks hours before the event, while the campaign continued with coordinated previews in about 18 cities ahead of Friday’s official release.
