Rosario Tijeras plunges listeners into the vibrant yet dangerous streets of Medellín, where whispers of a legendary woman echo from every corner. Rosario strides through plazas and alleys with a pistol, a mirror and bright lipstick tucked in her purse, blending glamour with lethal precision. She is the barrio’s undisputed queen, feared for her quick trigger and admired for her fearless aura, living in a whirlwind of sex, bullets, pleasure and pain.
Behind the tough façade lies a heartbreaking origin: a childhood assault that shattered her innocence and transformed love into a quest for revenge. Her heart is pierced not by Cupid’s arrow but by a bullet, leaving her incapable of tears even as invisible sobs haunt her soul. Juanes turns Rosario’s rise and fall into a cautionary tale about the cycle of violence—how unresolved trauma can morph into relentless vengeance until, in the end, the avenger becomes the victim. When Rosario finally meets her fate, the cemetery is silent, underscoring the tragedy of a life consumed by pain and retribution.
