ESCAC talent behind Rosalía’s ‘El mal querer’

The cinematography, art direction and editing of the year’s two music videos are in the hands of ESCAC graduates.

Malamente and Pienso en tu mirá, the first and third chapters of Rosalía’s new album, El mal querer, have left no one indifferent and quickly topped the trending and most-viewed charts; Malamente has 13 million views, while Pienso en tu mirá is at 1,5 just hours after its release.

Both videos, directed by Nicolás Méndez (CANADA), feature graduates Daniel Fernández Abelló as Director of Photography and Carlos Font Clos as Editor, and Master’s alumnus José Tirado as Art Director.

Nur Casadevall, Marçal Forés and Marc Oller, all ESCAC graduates, are among the regular directors at production company CANADA, a leading name in advertising and music videos.

CANADA says of Malamente:

«Grit, grace, young bullfighters and motorbikes frozen by magic. CANADA captures Rosalía’s aura on 35mm and elevates us to the level of a new star.»

CANADA says of: Pienso en tu mirá:

«Nicolás Méndez (CANADA) captures on 35mm the third chapter of Rosalía’s album: love, jealousy, blood, trucks… and once again the Catalan woman’s dancing, as she ends up reigning over the chaos.»
