Rosalía wowed a packed Chilean audience this Sunday with an unreleased track titled Insulation. As she performed, the crowd shouted their approval, echoing the moment with cries of I approve, I accept. The performance coincided with the public’s focus on the upcoming mandatory referendum on August 4, when Chileans will decide whether to ratify a new Constitution that would replace the current dictatorship-era framework.
In front of a full house, the performer surprised everyone by revealing that the song she chose to share had not appeared on her latest album. She explained that she had a strong personal desire to perform it live, emphasizing the moment’s spontaneity and emotional weight.
Prior to the moment, a public poster had prompted Rosalia to consider performing Catalina, a flamenco-inspired piece. Throughout the pavilion, the atmosphere was tense as the artist requested absolute silence during that segment, turning the moment into a solemn, almost ceremonial experience, almost like an acoustic reveal.
Rosalia’s Chilean concert photo caption became a talking point as the event looked to wrap up the evening. The moment captured the singer mid-performance, a scene of quiet concentration and artistry amid a lively crowd.
Minutes before the curtain call, an audience member raised the energy by throwing a book onto the stage, a gesture tied to a city poet’s work admired by the performer. Rosalia responded with warmth, inviting a member of the audience to share the microphone and join the performance in a rare, intimate exchange.
One of the show’s standout visual moments occurred when Rosalia wrapped herself in a Chilean flag, a dramatic display that sent the Movistar Arena into an emotional roar. The flag’s blue, white, and red colors fluttered as fans cheered, and a hat bearing the same hues found a place near the stage, becoming a symbol of the night’s pride and energy.
Across the arena, thousands of spectators joined in a chorus of I approve, I approve, reflecting the national conversation surrounding the proposed new Constitution. Rosalia appeared briefly surprised by the chorus, unaware of Chile’s current political crossroads, even though she had previously visited the country in 2019 for an edition of Lollapalooza that highlighted her growing international appeal.
