Familia: Welcome to the Family

***Familia*: Welcome to the Family** is a live stream performance by Camila Cabello on the video-focused social network TikTok. In the 30-minute event, Cabello performed six tracks from the album *Familia*. It was held on 7 April 2021 at 4pm PT, hours before the album officially drops.

The performance was described as an "immersive and inventive music experience" and utilized XR, which helped create a virtual world for each song to "complement the event's choreography, changing sets and costumes".

## Synopsis

The livestream starts with backup dancers in a green hallway full of doors with rooms inside. The camera then pans to a red door.

The first room shows a dark room with Camila Cabello on a couch. Cabello starts performing "La Buena Vida" accompanied by a group of mariachis. During the performance, she wears a "hot pink" bolero by Carolina Herrera to create "a modern take on Mexican style," she said. When the camera zooms out, the room is shown floating and part of it destroyed. Right when the bridge of the song begins, the lights dim and Cabello and the mariachis are seen wearing glow-in-the-dark makeup inspired by Mexican Day of the Dead skull makeup.

Once the performance finishes, Cabello falls off the room and wakes up on a swing in a desert with parts of the floor from the previous room in the sand. Cabello is now wearing a dress from RVDK, made from "a mix of textile trash and felt with 'digital does street art' spray-painted on it", and starts performing "Quiet". The camera then cuts back to the hallway, where the dancers are frozen and Cabello walks by, and enters a room with a pink door that transports her into a dark room with the dancers still frozen and she sits next to them to begin to sing "Everyone at This Party" in a platinum dress.

Back in the hallway, Cabello tries to open a blue door that it's locked, so she heads to another blue door with a small door. Inside, there is a small room with a mascara that she applies. She then sees a black and white striped butterfly crawl into one of the floor tiles heading into the next room where Cabello performs "Psychofreak". Cabello, wearing a neon catsuit by Mugler, is accompanied by four backup dancers in black-and-white striped catsuits. After the performance, Cabello goes inside a black and white striped tunnel that leads to a floating disco-inspired set where she performs the disco-inspired track "Hasta Los Dientes" accompanied by her backup dancers.

Cabello is then teleported into the hallway, wearing a yellow dress. The hallway is transformed into a large room with a background of trees and plants, and in the center a table referencing the concept of family dinners. Cabello performs "Bam Bam", the last song of the whole performance. At the table, Cabello is accompanied by members of her family, her backup dancers, and some dancers who appear in the "Don't Go Yet" music video.
