Rosalía, The Strokes and a Quebec duo's reptilian ritual

No reptilian ritual: there is a chain of musical influences. Angine de Poitrine includes The Strokes' "Reptilia" on its list of influences, and Rosalía confirmed she will attend the band's concert in Barcelona on October 20.

There is a chain that can be traced without leaving music. **Angine de Poitrine** is a masked duo from Quebec that blends experimental rock and complex time signatures. Its official list of influences on Apple Music includes "Reptilia", the classic by **The Strokes** released in 2003 on *Room on Fire*.

## Where the band's name comes from

The duo's name means, literally in French, angina pectoris. That is where the wordplay mixing the band, the heart condition and The Strokes' song comes from. It is a translation joke, not a diagnosis.

## Rosalía and the October 20 concert

**Rosalía** confirmed she will attend The Strokes' show in **Barcelona** on **October 20**. That fact circulates in a post on X and is the only verifiable link between the artist and the band in this story.

## Why they share a bill

Both acts move through the independent festival circuit and have shared the bill at events such as **Corona Capital**. The coincidence fuels the theory, but it goes no further: a list of influences and a shared bill are not a ritual.

None of this allows anyone to claim there is a hidden connection between the three names. If the matter turns to health, consult a professional.
