‘Five of ours are missing’

The singer Rozalen He arrived on Thursday afternoon in Letur, his town, to protect his family and friends after the tremendous flood that split this beautiful town in the Sierra del Segura in two, leaving numerous damages and causing the disappearance of five neighbors. “The level of destruction is brutal, it has a lot of impact, reality, unfortunately, is stranger than fiction“The material is clear that we are going to lift it, but we want them to locate those who are not located, that is the most important thing,” said the artist in statements to Cadena Ser.

Together with the mayor of the town, Sergio Marín, Rozalén verified the tragic situation in which the municipality, with just over 900 inhabitants, finds itself. “I was born in Albacete, but I grew up here, it is my mother’s town“, she pointed out, remembering that there she is one more. “Here I am not Rozalén, here I am Mari Ángeles, and we are all together.” “In such a small town we are all family so what happens to one happens to everyone. That they help them, that they are promising that they will arrive and that in a few weeks when this goes down and not so much audience so that people do not forget about the town,” he added to several media outlets.

Apart from these statements, the artist, 38 years old, expressed her feelings in a letter sent to The Diary. “It is difficult to understand it without seeing it and it is difficult to see it without breaking down. You never think that those catastrophes that you see on TV could affect your loved ones,” he lamented.

Although the scenario is bleak, Rozalén’s real concern is that “five of us are missing… And they have fired one of our neighbors.” The singer ended her article with a message of hope. “Letur will once again be ‘the place of our recreation’, our ‘where’, our ‘then’. The aroma of fire, rosemary, thyme and lavender will return. I assure you that the people of Letur have an impressive strength. They know what is to resist and rise again.”

Rozalén feels a deep affection for Letur, the town where she spent her childhood and where the mortal remains of his father, Cristóbal Rozalén, died in February 2022. Nine years ago, the singer recorded the video clip for Now among the portals, entrance arches, bridges and viewpoints of this beautiful town, and is the promoter of the LeturAlma music festival, which since 2017 has been revolutionizing the Sierra del Segura.
