‘Women sing to Rocío Jurado’, tributes and unity on a special day

Updated:

Keep

His daughter, Rocío Carrasco, began by opening her heart and sharing some reflections with the public after these years of live drama.

After twenty minutes of speeches, the first singer came out on stage. Nia, one of the best of the evening, gave us a fantastic version of ‘How I love you’ in which he flew on two beautiful violins to ‘pizzicato’ and a very solid band. It was a pity that, due to the collaborative format, we could only hear it in one song. continued ‘Like a wave’where Sole Gimenez, a singing teacher, shone. She exhibits great taste in all of her performances and doesn’t yell unnecessarily, something that, for some reason I can’t figure out, a lot of female singers tend to do.

good performances of Pastor Soler and Lorena Gomez in ‘Se nos roto el amor’ and ‘Vibro’, respectively.

Good songs -better the first one- and very representative of the tonadillera’s style. continued Lola Vendetta with ‘That man’ in a very personal version. She took it to her turf, reciting the first two verses of it, in a breath of fresh air before the intense chorus. It was one of the songs that best fit the theme of the night.

gala notes

Half good concert, with a brilliant selection of songs, half telecinco gala. The event was presented Mercedes Milá and Isabel Jiménezwho did not fail to break the rhythm with easy jokes and unnecessary dialogue. Having 17 nationally and internationally successful singers in the venue, what sense does it make to give half the time to television presenters? Logistical decisions as absurd as this can provoke moments as surreal as seeing Milá brandishing a Satisfyer (erotic self-satisfaction instrument) and reading something about a letter by Jurado that she herself did not understand. It was noted in the montage and the times between songs that the concert it was intended to be broadcast livea plan discarded at the last minute by the fifth chain and that undoubtedly influenced the mood of some presenters who started (and ended) on the wrong foot.

In the claim, there was something for everyone. Regards to La Más Grande, ‘masterclasses’ on vicarious violence by the prodigal daughter, cheers for ukraine, insults for Putin, encouragement to the dreamers and claims about the importance of sex education. Great media cocktail designed for the era of les offends.

stellar moments

Another one of the stellar moments was ‘Why would you have kissed me’what Sofia Ellar He performed with great class. Maybe it was a song that suited her voice, maybe she spent more time rehearsing, or maybe she just has more talent. The fact is that she shone in the way that great artists shine; not one note more, not one note less. There was room for ballads with ‘why don’t you go’by Mayte Martin, ‘My loving friend’with Edurne and ‘All collapsed within my’ sung by Robin Torres. The three songs, very beautiful, put the romantic tone in a night of emotions.

A few words about the band, that in this kind of events they are like ghosts. No one introduces them, no one thanks them for their work and no spotlight illuminates them but without them there would be no music. Nine musicians who stay ‘in the pocket’ (as an Anglo-Saxon would say) during a long evening, since they spend more time listening to soliloquies what touching

Tanxugueiras, the trio of the moment, performed ‘Si amanece’, a song with suggestive lyrics that they slightly took to their terrain with nods to traditional rhythms and the inclusion of a tambourine. Although it was not, by far, the best performance of the night, they were the only ones that made the public jump, something to take into account.

After Beatriz Luengo and Maria Toledo, closed the concert Rigoberta Bandini, who was the only one who sang two songs and was able to include one of her own, ‘Ay mama’, which made the entire audience vibrate. With her ended a night of celebration in which the focus was on the women who should have been there, but because of sexist violence, an undeniable reality, they can no longer go to any concert.
