Judeline said last night during her concert in the Razzmatazz room that was very happy to play in Barcelona because, the first time they scheduled a concert of it in the city, the show had to cancel for the low sale of tickets. Today, Judeline is an artist who gets excited by singing ‘Silver Trenches’ because the public Korea her as if she were a classic, so much that the singer of Cádiz has to separate from the microphone to cry like a Magdalena, and continue singing once she has been rewarded.
It is the effect produced by ‘Silver Trenches’, very different from that of ‘Zahara’ or ‘2+1’, which invite the Ensojero Perreo. Judeline moves between both facets in the concert of ‘Bodhiria’ (2024) and, above all, presents a show formula that benefits him and is well better than the previous ones.
Judeline’s mission has been to transfer her urban-pop delicatessen to the live, but since she is not a dancer, she has a vazarrón that fills the space, nor is her scenic presence overwhelming, she has often depended too much on her charism and a beautiful but functional staging. Therefore, the ‘Bodhiria’ show favors his narrative concept, developed around the concept of ‘Bodhiria’ and the “Lore” of Judeline and his romantic relationship with the famous Canijo.
The Canijo, in fact, is the secondary character of the ‘Bodhiria’ show and appears on stage from the beginning to the end, peeled, dancing, walking from one side of the stage to the other or making grimaces, while Judeline interacts with him or not, depending on the song. But his memory is always present in the lyrics and, therefore, also, the dancer is on stage, delivering his body (and the huge tattoo of his back) to music. The tattoo in red ink – or blood red – of the canijo reflects those that Lara herself has marked on the skin, rounding the concept of the show.
The movement on the tables favors the impact of songs that sound wonderfully dreamy and shy. This movement contributes the original staging, which highlights the presence on the stage of a pyramidal structure built with metal or steel armor to which Judeline’s dancers and dancers occasionally grab themselves as if they were Koalas. In the midst of this structure, a kind of swing/pendulum that Lara Fernández climbs to sing several songs during the show is hanged.
Judeline’s repertoire is also better and the public is delighted to respond to the South girl with her heat. Especially the choir “you broke my heart” of ‘Mangata’ lends itself to collective euphoria, but its house production sounds like absolute luxury. The quality of tracks such as ‘Angela’ or ‘Inri’ makes the neo-soul of ‘in a way’ sound suddenly within the direct repertoire of Judeline. And this still requires the inclusion of that curious version of ‘the torture’ that in the voice of Lara and, under the production of Drummie and several, is no longer any idem. Shakira should be taking notes, but we know it is to other things.
A but that putting the Judeline show is his decision to deconstruct ‘Canijo’, which, despite being narratively one of the key songs of the concert, live assumes a very different UK garage form from the original and that dispenses with the “beat drops” that make the original such an exciting production. Good to renew a production known to all, but did it have to be one of the most funny rhythmically?
Judeline gets into the public in her pocket speaking (what she can) Catalan and putting in value the youth that attends the concerts: it gives her the impression that the majority of fans in the first rows are “her fifth” and surely it was like that, but where he did not reach his eyes, there were also fans that exceed (we overcome) the 30 years, or parents who went to the concert with their daughters. ‘Bodhiria’ shows that, in Spain, quality is already mainstream and transverse.
In fact, Judeline is so young that, during the show, he remembers that she dreamed of visiting Barcelona when she was a teenager because she admired Bad Gyal. So young is Judeline that Bad Gyal is already a reference for her and other stars. Judeline, with her very careful sound, beautiful voice and now, great pop show, she already takes steps to be the reference.
