The mockery of Hamalla: music criticism or gratuitous cruelty?
At 50 years old and filling concerts of 15,000 people, Hamalla has become a polarizing phenomenon. Her defenders champion her first three albums as masterpieces of generational music, with a "legendary and unmistakable" voice. Her critics, however, believe her vocal skill was never up to par and that today, with age, the result is even poorer.
The voice that divides
"The first three albums have some absolutely killer tracks," argues part of the audience. But others reply that "it would be enough if she could just sing in tune." The debate centers on whether her vocal power has deteriorated over the years or never existed at all. Some point out that her current concerts rest on the musical production rather than her voice.
Mass appeal or cultural bubble?
The objective fact is that Hamalla keeps filling venues. But the mockery persists, fueled by how easily a catchphrase goes viral. Meanwhile, the artist continues her tour to packed houses, oblivious to the noise.
