In 2018 Spanish singer Rosalía attained international popularity with her innovative flamenco-fusion album El mal querer. Within the flamenco world, the Rosalía vogue provoked vehement and ongoing polemics involving whether or not her music should be regarded as "flamenco," whether she had the social credentials to be accepted as a flamenco innovator, and whether it was proper for her to adopt the persona of a ghetto-girl Gypsy in her hit music video, "Malamente." These controversies reveal much about flamenco culture and the tensions inhering to its status as both a concert art form and a traditional idiom embedded in Gitano subculture. En 2018 la cantante española Rosalía adquirió fama internacional con su álbum El mal querer y su innovadora propuesta de flamenco fusión. El auge de Rosalía ha provocado intensas polémicas dentro del mundo flamenco, muchas de las cuales continúan vigentes, y cuestionan aspectos tales como si su música puede ser considerada "flamenco," si la artista posee los atributos sociales necesarios para ser aceptada como pionera del género, o hasta qué punto su uso del estereotipo "chica-de-barrio gitano" en el videoclip Malamente es adecuado. La controversia provocada por estas cuestiones revela muchos aspectos de la cultura flamenca, especialmente sobre las tensiones que emergen de su doble estatus como música profesional para concierto y como lenguaje tradicional de la subcultura gitana
