Replicating Rosalía,The Miji Show, YouTuber iOA’s 90-minute gig held at Amphitheater Exposition Park, was a careful copy of Rosalía’s Motomami World Tour. He explains how it all came about.
Replicating Rosalía
As a child, Ioanis Patsias Morales was scared to dance in front of others. Growing up in Peru, he loved copying choreography from concert footage on VHS and DVDs — but only when he was alone, afraid of letting anyone see him perform a Britney Spears routine and (correctly) guessing he was gay.
On March 3, Morales, better known as the YouTuber iOA (pronounced yo-a), accomplished something that would have shocked his childhood self: He led a faithful re-creation of Rosalía’s latest world tour in front of 4,000 fans. “Rosalia didn’t tour Peru for Motomami so they threw their own show and sold out a 4,000 people arena???? ???,” one Twitter user wrote after fan-shot clips of the set immediately went viral. (The official version will be posted online March 26, with a behind-the-scenes documentary on April 2.)
Billed as the Miji Show, the 90-minute gig, held at Amphitheater Exposition Park in Lima, was a careful copy of the Spanish singer’s recent live production. Everything from the lighting cues and choreography to props like water bottles and Givenchy sunglasses were identical to the ones Rosalía uses. Yet no one coming to the venue that night had actually expected a Rosalía tribute; they had no idea what they were paying to see. “I asked my community, my followers, if they wanted to buy a ticket for a secret show,” Morales explains. “But I knew the Motomami World Tour showcase was going to blow their minds.”
The endeavor represented a stunning evolution for the 34-year-old artist, who is best known to his 785,000 subscribers for his low-budget re-creations of music videos like Karol G and Nicki Minaj’s “Tusa.” The Miji approach received enough attention in its aftermath that Morales quickly scheduled a second performance for March 24. Even Rosalía herself has given a stamp of approval, commenting, “Dimension paralela desblokeada” — “parallel dimension unlocked” — on footage from the show. “I get this weird pleasure from surprising people with the unexpected,” says Morales.
