Rosalía launches LUX Tour in Mexico City with tributes to Paquita la del Barrio
Spanish singer Rosalía has launched her LUX Tour in Mexico City with a series of performances at the Palacio de los Deportes. During the first show, attended by approximately 16,500 people, the artist revealed that her hit song ‘La Perla’ was heavily inspired by the legendary Mexican ranchera singer Paquita la del Barrio and her iconic track ‘Rata de dos patas’. Rosalía expressed her deep admiration for Mexican culture and the influence of the ranchera genre on her recent musical work.
A highlight of the concert was the ‘confesionario’ segment, where Mexican pop star Kenia Os appeared as a guest. Os shared personal stories regarding her past relationships, including an instance of infidelity she experienced during her first tour in the United States. The interaction between the two artists became a viral moment among attendees.
Beyond the stage, Rosalía has been seen exploring Mexico City, visiting local independent bookstores, jewelry shops, and vintage clothing stores. She was also spotted participating in a ‘farmear aura’ street trend, a viral social media activity involving expressive poses and attitudes in public spaces, which has received support from local officials like Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada.
