context_page_description: El Mal Querer Tour was the second concert tour, first world tour and third in general by Spanish singer Rosalía, in support of her second studio album El Mal Querer. The tour began on March 29, 2019 in Buenos Aires at the Hipódromo de San Isidro, as part of the 2019 Lollapalooza Argentina music festival. The tour will mostly visit music festivals. The tour ended at the WiZink Center in Madrid on December 10, 2019 after 43 shows.
context_section_description: The stage consists of a large flat black pallet with a smaller one on top of the principal one and a huge screen in the back which is used for visual support and interludes. For the December shows, the top pallet was removed and a runway was added to the stage design. Rosalía and her backup dancers perform in the middle of the stage while the background singers are positioned on the left side of the stage meanwhile producer and friend Pablo Díaz Reixa aka "El Guincho" plays the drums and creates musical effects live on the right side of the stage.
  The concert starts with a video introduction showing Rosalía's name in different fonts which increases its velocity to the point that it collapses and shows a white image. Then Rosalía emerges from the stage to dance with her backup dancers popularly known as "Las 8 Rosas" (Spanish for "The 8 Roses") for over a minute and a half. After this, the singer is left alone on stage to shout the name of the city she is performing in and to sing the first notes of "Pienso en tu Mirá". After half-a-minute, the dancers come on stage again and they all dance together to the song, Rosalía included. After this song, Rosalía is left on stage alone for a second time to perform "A Palé". The setlist transits to "De Madrugá", the first unreleased song of the concert. Rosalía performs for another time with Las 8 Rosas before leaving her alone again to perform James Blake's "Barefoot in the Park". During this song, the singer asks the crowd to turn on their phones' lantern.
  The next act starts with Rosalía singing the fan-favorite track "Que No Salga La Luna". She performs it without her dance crew. Her four background singers (2 men and 2 women) support Rosalía during the part where the song consists of a dialogue. "Que No Salga La Luna" is followed by "Maldición" where, instead of a falling diamonds background video, a solid light pink image is shown to the public. After the song, Rosalía introduces her 2016 track "Catalina", which she wrote alongside Catalan guitarist Raül Refree. She sings it "a capella" before transitioning to "Aunque es de noche". The act ends with a video interlude that consists of Rosalía writing a text to contact ">3" on iMessage. The message consists of the lyrics of the 1974 track "Te Estoy Amando Locamente" originally sung by Las Grecas. The video ends right after the singer sends the second text message which says "t estoy amando lokamente" followed by 232 red broken heart emojis. The track is sung by the background singers and is supported by a pre-taped version sung by Rosalía.
  The next act starts with Rosalía's first-ever number one single "Di Mi Nombre" which smoothly transits to "De Aquí No Sales". In both of the songs, the singer is joined by her dancers. Another interlude is shown to the public. This one consists of Rosalía singing an unreleased rap song with sunglasses on and without her long acrylic nails. 
  Right after the interlude, Rosalía performs her by now only track in Catalan "Milionària". The song is followed by its B-side "Dios Nos Libre del Dinero". The next song is "Bagdad" where she performs alongside "Las 8 Rosas", who "wrap" Rosalía in fuchsia strings while she sings. In some parts of the song, the singer changes her microphone to one that has an electronic effect that allows her to sing higher notes that may seem as autotune. She proceeds to perform J Balvin's "Brillo" where she puts on sunglasses and plays around with her hair alone. The unreleased track "Como Ali" is the following song. Her dancing crew accompanies her during this song. The act ends with a remix by El Guincho of Rodolfo Parrita's 2012 track "Cositas del Ayer" (also known as "No Me Llames Más Que Ya No Voy") which is choreographed by "Las 8 Rosas" and the singer herself. During the shows in festivals, the song was followed by "Santería" which was sung by the background singers.
  The final act opens with the dancers entering a light blue hologram triangle to dance to Plan B's 2010 track "Es Un Secreto". The song transitions right after Rosalía appears on stage to another unrelea
