It's an issue that keeps coming up.
broke down the cultural discussion about Rosalía’s Latinx identity best, writing, “The Anglophone press has often lumped Rosalía under the monolithic umbrella of Latin music. While she’s collaborated with Latino superstars like J Balvin on a few songs, most of her work draws on a tradition that has little to do with Latin American culture — despite Spain’s deep colonial roots there.”
Rosalía has somewhat acknowledged the press’ misidentification of her, but has done so coyly, telling“I do know that if I say I’m a Latina artist, that’s not correct, is it? I’m part of a generation that’s making music in Spanish. So, I don’t know — in that sense, I’d prefer for others to decide if I’m included in that, no?”
But the fact is that there are no decisions to be made when it comes to what qualifies a culture, and it's not correct to interchange the vastly different cultural worlds of Spain with the vastness of Latin America. If Rosalía can outwardly say she is not Latinx, then surely the mainstream press can follow suit.
