Between the skyscrapers of Times Square and next to an American Flag of Neon, Rigoberta Bandini looks appears: he looks a souvenir from the Sagrada Familia on his hat to the Russian, plastic kitsch necklaces and a pink Fuchsia t-shirt dedicated to Marisol ( He likes to sing the happy heart in his direct). «It's very strong, very strong ...», says Rigoberta on the phone, in her house from Barcelona's. Spotify has selected the artist - with more than 800,000 monthly listens - within the framework of its equal campaign, which encourages equality with playlists from singers from all over the world and a window in Times Square.
Rigoberta Bandini is very strong, in general. It is the last Made in Spain musical phenomenon: He has hung Sold Out poster in almost all his concerts, it has been the star of the summer festivals and today inaugurates the condeduque musical season of Madrid, where he exhausted tickets in less than 24 hours .
"I understand music as a celebration of life," that is his statement of principles. "My referents are very cold: Albano and Romina, Cecilia, Jeannette, Jurado Rocío, Roberto Carlos, Julio Iglesias ... but also Daft Punk or the Eurodance of the 90 of Gigi d'Agostini. I take the melodies on one side and another and I leave them as I like them to sound. I'm not afraid to be a tacky because I like tacky music, I mean all summer songs ... The Venao flip me, "she continues. From that discomplexed mixture between divertiment and deep verses are born songs that have become instant hits, Titzos as their first Single Too Many Drugs, an ode lysergic but with a spiritual component that launched in full confinement (and pregnancy). This summer has become the hymn of the festivals. "Yes, at festivals take another dimension, a very epic thing. Join people, it is very cathartic, "he recognizes.
The Rigoberta catharsis excites both Jordi Évole, who called his concert in the Fòrum as the "dream of a summer night", with the staff perreando and the full moon over the sea, as the Municipal Leader of the PP, Josep Bou, who He gave it all dancing bitch at the concert of the pride day. Bitch is one of those double-edged songs, a feminist argument to jump to the cry of I want to be a bitch.
"The first thing he wanted to do with a bitch was to return the feminine of things, that is not pejorative. There is a basic intention of equality in the names. On the other hand, the song aims to turn around what I could sound like an insult ... I take another meaning and I give it another meaning, it does not have to have sexual connotations ... I empoded with this song, because I I want to be a bitch and be free in my life, "he claims. Something similar to what they already did with the Bitch (Zorra, in English) Meredith Brooks, Madonna or Nicky Minaj.
His is the antithesis of the new Single of the J. Balvin and the Dominican Rapera Tokischa (La Partner de Rosalía in Linda): his dog is canonically erotic and has already raised criticism by Machista. In the concerts of the Rigo, as they call her the fans of her, even the boys (also heterosexual) shout the "I want to be a bitch": "There are guys who ask me 'And what am I?' Well, you are also a bitch! We are all bitches, it does not matter how sexual identity, the genitals ... Bitch is to LifeStyle, goes further, "says the singer.
If Bitch is a lifestyle, in Spain we call it solitude is his particular patriotic singing, as if a spanish (see Pedro Sánchez) told a foreigner (see Ursula von der Líen) what things are said here, with senses verses as in Spain we say: it's bitterness or in spain we say: Oh, I desunate! " The song includes a unleashed homage to Monica Naranjo and made Pedro Sánchez became Trending Topic when he tried to explain to the President of the European Commission and the President of the European Council that Spain responds in the bad times: "In Spain We Say: We are at duras and mature. "

"As Paula Ribó, I have worked very much in many areas of a discreet way and stinging stone. And Rigoberta has entered through a large door and Paula is flipping. Paula and Rigoberta are the same, "explains Paula / Rigoberta, who had also formed part of two bands, The Kardoshians and The Mamzelles.
"When I ask me the secret of my success I always say: visualization and meditation. And I suppose there will be a percentage of artistic talent. But I think it has a lot to see the start to understand that we are more creators of our life than we think. Meditation helps me a lot, it's a tool, it makes me understand everything and reconnect ... I think it's thanks to Rigoberta's meditation, "he admits.
Rigoberta Bandini - A tribute to the writer John Fante and his character Arturo Bandinii has no hurry to draw a disc. «I like to work the singles little by little. The next one will leave within a month. If there is a disc it will be after all this ..., equal in 2024, but with new songs, it will be another movie. For me all this is already a record but I am presenting it as singles, also for a practical question, because I have a child and I can not lock myself to compose, "she explains. The success of Rigoberta Bandini came practically with the birth of Nico, whom he dedicates the song 'when you are born'. Is it symptomatic that in most interviews ask you specifically for motherhood? "If he was a man they would not ask me, maybe the first month, but then no longer. Nor does it bother me. It is important for other women who arise to be a mother and have an artistic project see that it can be done. But it is true that it is symptomatic that they only ask us to us. "
