Mon Laferte Gives New Meaning to ‘La Perla’ in Rosalía’s Confessional: ‘Could It Be That I’m the Pearl?’
The Chilean-Mexican star joined the famous segment of Rosalía's LUX Tour on Monday (Aug. 24) in Mexico City.
On August 24, Chilean-Mexican singer Mon Laferte joined Rosalía for the second of five nights at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City as part of the artist's LUX Tour. As part of the experience known as the "confessional," Laferte added a unique perspective to Rosalía's hit song "La Perla." Dressed in a striking pink corset and fuchsia long skirt, Laferte introduced herself as a woman who "sings about love, heartbreak, desire, pain, and rage, turning everything she touches into art."
During her performance, Laferte shared personal experiences of being deceived and betrayed by ex-partners, stating that she often receives labels like "intense" or "dramatic." However, she believes it's her passion that drives her to create art. In her rendition of "La Perla," Laferte emphasized the importance of love, noting that she has loved deeply, with multiple people and even at the same time.
She concluded that in the song, a "pearl" represents someone who cannot be trusted due to their dishonesty. Rosalía responded by jokingly stating that her crime was dedicating great songs to foolish individuals. Mon Laferte is not the first performer to join Rosalía in the confessional; Kenia Os, Yeri Mua, Michel Álvarez, and Samy Rivers have also joined her during performances in Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Mexico City. Rosalía will continue her LUX Tour in Mexico City on August 26, 28, and 29.
