The singer Rozalen has visited Letur, his family’s village, after the DANA who has already left at least 202 dead in the province of Valencia and three others in Castilla-La Mancha.
One of the victims is from the singer’s town, where there are also other five missing neighbors. This town is one of the areas devastated by the storms.
The woman from Albacete had been sharing messages of solidarity with those affected – both from her town and from other towns – through her social networks for days, and sharing the open help channels.
Rozalén visits her town, Letur, affected by DANA
This Thursday, visibly affected by the situation, she was “finally” able to visit the town. This morning Rozalén shared a message through her Instagram account, an emotional story where she narrates the situation of the town.
The artist confesses that in the last two days she has been “paralyzed” by the news that came to her and with “terrible helplessness”.
As she herself has shared, she can be found from one of the houses in the upper area of the town, a place where those who have seen their homes located in the old town destroyed by the force of the water are taking refuge: «Entry is prohibited there. ».
As in the Valencian towns, in this town of La Mancha “everyone is upset”as he has told it. In fact, the singer wanted to paint a portrait of what Letur’s current situation is like: «The town has been divided in two. He has demolished buildings, raised roads, gardens. Canals (natural pools) and so many other things no longer exist…”
Despite the description, María Rozalén insists: «It is difficult to understand it without seeing it, and it is difficult to see it without breaking down». Calmer, although with the town destroyed, Rozalén emphasizes that upon arriving she felt a “strange relief.” You can be with your loved ones “even if it’s just to cry together” and, without speaking, you feel what the population has experienced. The devastation is total, “a tsunami.”
«He has divided the town in two […] It’s hard to understand it without seeing it, and it’s hard to see it without breaking down.”
«You never think that those catastrophes that you see on TV could affect your loved ones. Letur, the beautiful water town in the Sierra del Segura. And, one day, our life resource, bombards you like a war enemy», he reflected.
Rozalén also wanted to remember the deceased person and the five who are still missing: «A pain in the chest is above everything». In this town, which has less than 1,000 inhabitants, “what happens to one, happens to all,” says the singer.
Even so, he wanted to send a message of hope: “Although it will never be the Letur of before, the new town will be rebuilt, even more beautiful, but with a deep scar.” The singer-songwriter has also requested that “Hopefully the aid that the institutions are promising will arrive” and that this tragedy will not be forgotten “when I stop giving audiences.”

The singer also had words for the “neighbors and family” affected in the Valencian Community. Regarding her people, the singer assures that “they have impressive strength” and that they know what it means to “resist and rise again.” Likewise, she wanted to thank all the signs of support that both she and her neighbors have received during these days.
