If the song itself suggests anger and conflict, then the stage reflects that perfectly, as Natalia sings in front of a stage lit with fiery, neon lines, which explode into burning sparks as the song builds. Three dancers surround her, performing an energetic routine complete with diablo red scarves, which fly around Natalia like red rags to a bull.  The singer responds with some gutsy staccatto violin action, and a punchy vocal performance, note-perfect at the extremely high ad-lib before the key change. A large silver silken banner completes the dancers’ array of props, being raised and twirled at various intervals during the performance.

       

 Music runs in the family

Natalia has had an upbringing with a strong musical background, she adds that most of her family are musicians and have been playing instruments and singing for all over their lives. Natalia is also a competent violin player, a skill which she demonstrates on stage at the start of the performance.
