(I enlarged and made bold some key words)
Political views and religion[edit]
Rosalía is a
feminist. After being congratulated at the 2019
Billboard Women in Music gala, the singer stated: "I was fifteen when I entered a recording studio for the first time having all this women as references. I was so shocked by the fact that there were only men in that session that, since that moment, I've been fighting for having the same number of men and women in the studio. As simple as that".
[163] Her studio album
El Mal Querer revolves around the
liberation of a female from a toxic heterosexual relationship.
[164] Rosalía is also
pro-choice. During a concert in Mexico, she wore a green handkerchief in support of the National Campaign for the Right to Legal, Safe and Free Abortion.
[165]
As for Rosalía's religious beliefs, she revealed that she has never been
baptized nor taken to church by her parents. Her grandmother, who was
Christian, used to take her to church if she voluntarily asked to. There she began to believe in
God despite never having submitted to the
Catholic Church nor considering herself Christian.
[166]
During her performance at Glastonbury on
Pride Day, the Spanish singer told the crowd that she was
an LGBT supporter and said: "there are a lot of ways to love and none is better than the other.
[167] Raise your glass for love and freedom to love". All profits from her Viva Glam cosmetic campaign were to be given in support of women, youth and the LGBT community.
[168] In July 2021, Rosalía condemned the killing of 24-year-old
Samuel Luiz, who was beaten to death in
A Coruña in a crime motivated by
homophobia. She stated, "Samuel didn't die, he was assassinated".
[169]
As for Spanish politics and international conflicts, in November 2019, following a
second general election in the country within six months, Rosalía tweeted "fuck Vox".
[170][171] VOX is a far-right
nationalist political party that had earned a lot of seats at the
Spanish Parliament and was constantly growing in popularity at the time. After being asked about politics at a press conference at the 2019 Latin Grammys, she said: "I think it is a very delicate topic and I don't think this is the place to talk about it since it requires a lot of time due to its sensitivity."
[172] In May 2020, Rosalía expressed anger for the
murder of George Floyd[173][174] and briefly attended
a protest in Miami in defense of
racial equality, leaving early in order to appear on a virtual benefit concert organized by
TeleHit. In October, she offered her song "
A Palé" for a vote-encouraging campaign of Sony Music for the
2020 United States presidential election titled "Your Voice. Your Power. Your Vote".
[175] In May 2021, Rosalía expressed her support for the protesters during the
2021 Colombian protests, which were motivated by
Iván Duque's tax reform proposal.
[176] She also denounced the inaction of Cuba's government in the midst of the humanitarian and health crisis during
2021 Cuban protests using the hashtag #SOSCUBA in social media.
[177][178]
During the
COVID-19 pandemic, Rosalía performed at many virtual benefit concerts while locked down in Miami like
Se Agradece and
La Marató de TV3 in an effort to give economic support to the development of a
vaccine and in
Música Solidària del Baix Llobregat, which was celebrated in benefit of the Botiga Solidària in
Cornellà de Llobregat, a non-profit organization that distributes food to those who need it since the place was in danger of extinction due to the consequences of the pandemic.
[179][180] She also collaborated with
Save the Children and
Creu Roja Catalunya.
[181]
So, what is M&M promoting?
A pro-choice, LGBT supporting feminist.
