I think it's interesting that someone like Rosalia, who I personally don't care for artistically, is at the very least stimulating a lot of discussion and in some way putting flamenco into a more visible part of society's collective consciousness, even if what she's doing isn't aligned with the ethos of flamenco so to say. I don't think that's a bad thing necessarily as it hopefully encourages people to explore her influences, and who knows, maybe they'll like more traditional flamenco. If they don't, they don't -- I'm much more inclined to agree with someone like Hermeto Pascoal when it comes to music and traditionalism. Yes, there is great value to learning about the origins and roots of something (and I'm very much someone who likes to do that, with anything I get into), and it's downright essential if you want to do a particular thing in a well-informed way, but at the end of the day, "tudo e som" -- all is sound.
