One of Zahara’s last singles is dedicated to listing things that there is too much: “Too many songs”, “Too Pódcast”,
too much everything. One of the most celebrated phrases live by the audience is “too many few women playing at festivals.” And another, “too much lord.” Live posters of festivals covered by male artists are projected, without giving their names. This topic can anger some and also favor the hiring of the artist at the same time. At the moment, Sansan is the second festival of the season in which Zahara presents ‘slow tenderness’ and his presence in one of the big stages became more necessary than ever. Above all, when leaving just after Siloé.
It is Siloé’s concert a clichés clichés of rock & roll and testosterone. Fito Robles is a row of good intentions: the concert begins from the sound tower, in acoustic, surprising an audience until that moment on the back; He appeals to the value of “humanity”, introduces the name of the classmates who act in the festival in their own songs, to introduce, introduce up to the one who is playing at the same time in another scenario, which appeals up to twice (Luis Fercán). All of good vibes, although for some reason seasoned with a guinness record of bad words per hour.
T -shirts between the public proliferate with the message of one of his songs, “What if we send everyone to take for ass?”, Maybe because Siloé’s leader pronounces more words than a 13 -year -old teenager. Robles celebrates the arrival of “The season of fucking festivals, pussy”, shouts “May God bless the music of this fucking country”, he makes combs with all the hands he has when he sings “I have a couple of suggestions”, he projects the phrase “Where the pussy were you” while sings to make it very clear, and finally the eggs are touched while saying that of me. ” As a bunbury came up (heroes of silence are such an obvious reference that at the end of the concert his music is punctured), the leader of Siloé seeks to sing to the rhythm that moves the Noria of the festival, vibrate without a shirt with ‘Song 2’ of Blur and scream about “the desire to fuck.” Like that stressful friend who always has to be well up and not “fucking silent,” Siloé left little space for someone to look at their songs between outburst and outburst. Of course, they have more public than ever after years and years of career. Few people gave more tumbos throughout the music industry. I insist that if someone saw t -shirts yesterday, it was Siloé.
Then and, as necessary, in contrast, Zahara’s “Michy’s Army”. His “crew” wears black and pink, in promotion of his new album ‘Slow tenderness’, which sounds almost entirely: up to 8 songs. It is sacrificed just the one that presented on television, ‘I am of a small town’, perhaps because it is not too festival, but the SET heads the principle of the album in strict order: ‘Formentera’, ‘I just wanted to write a song of love’ and ‘Our love’. Zahara is at that time a kind of soul that crawls through the stage between colored clouds, moving the public to a magical but murky, with a certain toxic component. Soon introduces past successes such as ‘Merichane’, dedicated to trans people; A minimalist review of ‘Free Fall’ and another of ‘War and Peace’ without Santi Balmes -ni already the choirs of Martí Perarnau IV-, benefited by a beautiful camera assembly.
The first planes of Zahara for the impressive and very Björk ‘violence’ return, although the most commented scenographic moment will be the interpretation of a medley to the electric guitar from inside a polyclin. The Polyclin of the cover of ‘slow tenderness’. Zahara ranged over the toilet to joke on the floors rented to 1,500 euros from Madrid to which he remembered, and that was where he managed to silence the masses alone with a cross between ‘Zahara’ of Judeline and his own hit, ‘with the desire’, which returns in part to his repertoire. The artist continued to defend new songs like ‘Was this life?’ And ‘Your Michis’ on a running tape, reserving for the end what worked so well in the ‘whore’: the sum of ‘Today the beast dinner at home’ and ‘Berlin U5’. There are parts of the set that are not suitable for the masses of a festival, even the “rave” has some margin of improvement in its search for the maximum rush, but it was appreciated to see a show, no longer made and devised by a woman, but thought, worked even in the colors and tones and with her own narrative thread. Also that the singer managed to get fag from under the stones to see it.
After Zahara, more men, specifically Men G. David Summers’s band could not achieve more commercial success in 1985 and 1986 -a day were a “boyband”, Javi Molina included-, but who would have guessed that letters like ‘Marta has a pacemaker’ would be intoned with devotion, 40 years later, by people who were not even born.
The Men G concert was full of children, from the first to the last ranks. It is as if a generation of parents had decided to raise their children to the rhythm of issues such as ‘the attack of the crocodile girls’. The show was a hits party in which they highlighted ‘I’m going to have fun’ -rely a perfect “opener”, ‘I love you’, and in the end ‘Venezia’ -which great pre-stribe and what a great chorus-, followed by ‘Back to my girl’. We had to be in a very bad mood to get angry with “I’m going to take revenge on that fag”, when I rhyme with such a silly thing as “pica-pica dusts.” Men g are not neat in the scenography and several planes consents in which their teleprompter is clearly seen, but in sound: a huge band accompanies them, to highlight the metals in ‘Visit our bar’, a whole trip to Jamaica, perhaps by the path of The Clash; Not so much the young chairmath, the only female member of the entire band, whose voice was not intuited a little.
Dani Fernández also has his own song about “letting her hair down” and somehow looked like the millennial version of Men G. His lifelong pop-rock band has opened a hole in the market to represent the main national commitment of Warner Spain in 2024 and the public responded by curtaining its scenario. I would say that his audience has multiplied by 4 since the last time I saw him at a festival, in Mallorca Live. His torn voice is the taste of the masses, both as songs as ‘Everything changes’ and ‘You have invited me to dance’ and of course, a classic already: its version of supersubmarina. Dani faces that he is receiving online criticism type “Who are you to sing this song?”, But he said that he will continue to play ‘supersubmarina’, because it is a song that “has saved him already many people”, “until the supersubmarine themselves tell them.” And that after what was seen in Sonorama, will not happen.
In the afternoon, Kidazurdo had faced a less numerous audience obviously and also less excited. Given the quality of classics such as ‘thousand mirrors’, “Úrsula” or ‘I promise to hurt you’, it gives the feeling that the group separated at the most inadequate moment and has also returned at the inappropriate time, which on the other hand house with its eternal tragic and half unfortunate image. Or that or simply his apocalyptic cutting music is not made to sound at seven in the afternoon, but in the dark. ‘The Son of God’ was again the most celebrated song: although it was never the most listened to, it will always be the favorite of the directs.
I closed the night, before the sanctuary tent, with that constant hits medley that people only endure 15 seconds before making scroll to something else, which can include the same ‘Just dance’ of Lady Gaga as ‘dtmf’ by Bad Bunny, with a little teacher sword and a little of Dorian, which coincided with full. Murcia have an impressive live despite being just a live trio. The percussions, the bases and their experimental intentions sounded clear, in front of a small but very interested, attentive and awake audience. Among the best directs of the day. And the same can be said of Dorian’s professionalism, who took advantage of the interpretation of ‘dual’ to defend sexual freedom: “Stop chromañones, stopidecos stop.” Confeti cannon apart, they deployed a brutal sound, which simply could not get more brightness to keyboards and details, interpreting their usual successes, to highlight ‘The friends I lost’, ‘Any other part’ and ‘The sandstorm’. The group also fights to integrate among them songs from their latest album, such as ‘El Sur’ or ‘Dark Matter’. A good show that looked at the head of the poster.
