This Monday, Rosalía’s visit to the set of The revolt revolutionized the center of Madrid once again. Before the interview, the TVE program recreated a very special neighborhood urgent meeting to receive the artist, composed of 10 famous faces, as well as presenter David Broncano and collaborator Jorge Ponce. Among the alleged tenants were footballer Alexia Putellas, actress Carmen Machi, members of the Estopa group, actor and director Javier Calvo, bodybuilder Joan Pradells, singer La Zowi, former Madrid mayor Manuela Carmena, fashion designer María Escoté and director Pedro Almodóvar.
“We have to do something with the one who sings, the one from the fifth,” said the actress Carmen Machi on the portal of the building where it was recorded. The revolt and this served as a rallying point for a scene that felt like part of a chapter of What’s coming. It was Jorge Ponce who brought David Broncano to the nearby portal of the Príncipe Gran Vía Theater to witness this extraordinary parody in which the topic of the day was “the folkloric neighbor who sings”, that is, Rosalía.
“We must change the statutes of the community, we must change the Constitution,” added Calvo. Soon after, the camera focused on Almodóvar, who said “for now we will vote for him.” “If you don’t mind the vote, I’ll organize it, that’s why I’m the president,” Carmena stressed. “Is it to throw out the singers?” asked Broncano. “No, we want you to sing more, to sing in the inner courtyard, to resonate,” replied Calvo. “I propose to do as with the warm-up, that you sing from 11:00 to 23:00,” concluded Machi. “We can’t vote without her. Maybe she has problems on Gran Vía again,” added the actress. Anger. “For me it’s not a disaster,” replied Carmena, clearly referring to the criticisms of the mayor of Madrid over the meeting that Rosalía provoked in Callao on the occasion of the launch of her new album.
Another storyline involved Putellas, who insisted several times during the scene that he had lost a soccer ball in the building. And precisely that same ball was the one that Rosalía brought into her hand in her first intervention in this one sketch, recorded in sequence shot with a steadycam. When the singer, Broncano, joined the group, the presumed owner of the bass, that is, of the set where it is held The revolt, He proposed to Rosalía that they participate in the program: “Since we are close, if you want I can interview you?” And that’s what happened right after.
On its networks, the program broadcast the images of this comical moment accompanied by the following message: “Minutes of the Extraordinary General Assembly of The revolt. Agenda: The singing neighbor, the ball and the madman with the bass drum.” As well as a publication with a photograph of the protagonists, who they described as “lovely neighbors”, and in which they thanked them for their efforts, as well as that of their working groups: “Thank you to all your wonderful teams for helping so much and making today possible.”
Rosalía went this Monday to The revolt to present his latest work,Luxury, released last November 7, of which he sang part of a song, The pearl. Without a doubt, her presence was one of the surprises of the week, but it revealed itself a few days ago, something that the program itself underlined and regretted on its social networks: “We wanted to make a surprise but since it has already been published, well yes, Rosalía is coming today.”
With the presence of Catalan, The revolt led the ratings this Monday, almost doubling last week’s figure with the historic audience record for the La 1 program (even higher than the figures for the first broadcasts). It achieved a screen share of 20.4% and 2.7 million viewers on average, and the golden minute came at 11.11pm, surpassing three million viewers.
Just this Sunday The weekly country published an extensive interview with Rosalía by journalist Xavi Sancho in which the singer and composer talked about her life, her spirituality, as well as the conflict in Palestine or the series Euphoria. If you want you can read it by clicking on this link.
