While the Argentine based in Spain moved with her hypnotic stage management; the comfort with which she moved through different rhythms, from Latin genres through flamenco, hip-hop and even electronic punk, and her remarkable band masterfully led by Didi Gutman; The Real Decadents launched its adjusted sound carnival.
While, Machu Picchu had a historic reunion with almost everyone who passed through the band at some point, to remember the intensity that it breathed into the local scene and, on the other hand, to pay tribute to Gabriel Ruiz Diaz.
However, these were just some of the performances enjoyed by the 60,000 people who circulated around the venue from noon yesterday until around one o’clock today, according to data from the organization.
While these sets were spread out on the two main stages from mid-afternoon until late at night, in addition to those of Turf, Lit Killah, Dante Spinetta, Los Tipitos and Juan Ingaramo, among others; in other alternative spaces paraded figures like Massacre, Flannel, Kapanga, Barbi Recanati, Bándalos Chinos, Celeste Carballo, Richard Coleman, Jokers, Lara 91K, Mr. Flavio, Ella es tan Cargosa, Los Brujos y los Super Ratonesto name just a few names.
When the echoes of Saturday still resonated Gorillaz, the great attraction of the first day; in the early hours of the afternoon, Dante Spinetta, Los Tipitos and Massacre They were beginning to add color to the second chapter of this edition.
Towards the middle of the afternoon, when the public began to arrive en masse, as if someone had subverted the order of music at a party and had started with the Rio de Janeiro carnival, Kapanga, Turf and The Authentic Decadents They animated an evening collective dance.
almost simultaneously with kapanga, Turf he used the grace of his leader Joaquin Levinton and catchy hits to mark presence in a large grid. “Loco un poco”, “Pasos al lateral” and a techno pop version of “Lamento boliviano” by Los Enanitos Verdes were some of the classics that they brought out.
As if laying the groundwork ready for the Los Decadentes show, which began on the next stage, Levinton organized a pogo among the public with which they dared to challenge Indio Solari – “This is for Indio who is watching him for Flow”, he joked-, so that he would unleash his madness in “I want to get married, and you?”, where he joined as a guest Parisian cuckoo.
The party continued on the neighboring stage when the luxury guest at the end of the Turf show put his voice in front of “Somos” to start the decadent carnival. The barrage of hits included “How am I going to forget”, “Pendeviejo”, “The guitar”, “Vení Raquel”, “The distant cousin”, “A teddy bear from Taiwan” and “Loco (Your way of being) “, Among many.
But behind the irresistible chants and the confetti, once could be seen a band that, under the guise of chaos, masterfully moves through the murga, ska and cumbia, among other rhythms.
The sonic brilliance of Los Decadentes was strongly felt fundamentally in the reading of “Los viejo vinegares” by Sumo, where Pablo Rodríguez’s traverse flute took the theme towards the territories of free jazz. The reggae carnival of “People who don’t” in the style of “When the tremor passes” was another high point.
The tone of the party changed completely with the irruption of Lit Killah on the stage next to the end of Los Decadentes, with a set that, beyond its marked urban imprint, had its forays into big-band-style orchestrations, with attacks from the wind section; and folk airs.
Nathy Peluso had an overwhelming step in what was her first show in the country since she has a worldwide recognition that makes her a required figure in major international festivals.
Meanwhile, in times where recorded tracks are a common currency in any show, divided differentiated itself with a one hundred percent blood-driven set, where rock in its purest form was present.
The decibels rose to the maximum in a repertoire that included “Doing strange things”, “Narigón of the century”, “Pudding soul”, “Azulejo”, “Going out to buy”, “Rasputin”, “Paraguay”, “Paisano de Hurlingham “, “Ala Delta” and “El 38”, among other classics.
There were also notable tributes to Pappo with “Sucio y desprolijo”, Sandro with ” Tengo”, Javier Martínez with “Salgan al sol” and, of course, Sumo with “Crua Chan”, “El ojo armorado” and “La stupid blonde” in the middle of “what’s up?”.
“Spaghetti del rock” and “Par mil” left a gap to take a breath, while “Amapola del 66” allowed a heartfelt tribute through its image to the historic manager Jorge “Killing” Castro, recently deceased.
The incendiary set that began with a video of Mollo in a white overall singing the Argentine National Anthem with the Mendoza Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Gustavo Fontana; He concluded with pure pogo with a hardcore reading of “Cielito Lindo”.
The energy continued to full with Machu Picchuin a version that he showed together Fernando Ruíz Díaz, Abril Sosa, Macabre, Sebastián Cáceres and Agustín Rocino, who were joined by Vanthra Charlie Noguera and Juli Gondell.
In an extensive set, the group showed different formations to address songs from all its stages, intertwined with home videos or interviews with Gabriel Ruíz Díaz.
Mr. Flavio, whom Fernando defined as “one of the five heroes of Gaby’s bass”, joined in “In dreams”, which led to a potpourri that included “Tomorrow in the supply”, “Manuel Santillán, the lion ” and “Following the Moon”; and Walas did the same in “Plan B”.
In this way, the Quilmes Rock edition that marked his return to face-to-face since 2013 and after a virtual meeting in 2020, came to an end with a satisfactory balance.
From the artistic point of view, the grid had a predominance of local artists with a strong rock and pop profile, although Gorillaz and Nathy Peluso gave it an international touch, while names like Trueno, Lit Killah or Lara91K left the urban mark.
It was also a public success with sold out tickets for both days, which meant a circulation of 60 thousand people per day.
In a year in which it was once again possible to enjoy Cosquín Rock and Lollapalooza Argentina, and in which the landing of the prestigious Primavera Sound is announced with an impressive lineup, Quilmes Rock is already listed among the great musical events that fill the agenda annual festival.
