Rosalía & the evolving definition of Latinidad

Spanish artist and musical chameleon Rosalía released her latest album, Lux , today. The single, "Berghain," seems like a return to form.

Operatic vocals, grand instrumentals, beautiful visuals -- the album is primed for critical praise. But for those who are hyperaware of Rosalia’s transformations -- from flamenco songstress to Afro-Caribbean queen -- they have other questions about this evolution.

Brittany is joined by writer-critics Bilal Qureshi and Michelle Santiago Cortés to unpack Rosalía’s “church girl era,” and the complicated nuances of Latinidad in music.
