The person in charge of climatizing the entrance of the British band was Abril Olivera, one of the best voices of the R&B genre in Argentina. Arriving at ten o’clock at night nine musicians appeared on stage: a percussionist, a drummer, a guitarist and violinist, a keyboardist, a bassist, a saxophonist, another guitarist and finally Tom Misch on vocals and electric guitar.
Starting with “What Kind of Music”, from his last album with the same name, and connecting without pause with “It Runs Through Me” from his first studio album “Geography”, Misch summed up in seven minutes what would be the rest of the night: a mixture of new jazz, funk, hip hop and neo soul with experimental and ambient passages.
The public did not disappoint and showed why many international artists call it “the best crowd in the world” (The best audience in the world). All the artist’s most famous melodies were sung, sometimes covering up the sound of the singer’s voice. In the intervals between themes resounded the “olé olé olé Tomi Tomi”, making that in a moment the singer together with his drummer connected with the public to improvise together the classic Argentine cancha song.
In the middle of the show, all the musicians left the stage except for Tom Misch who confessed that he had “hoped for a long time to come and play in Buenos Aires” and that, as he did during the quarantine from his room, he was going to dedicate one of his songs to the public. his “music sessions to bring tranquility and peace to his listeners”. So the British began to play jazzy melodies on his guitar that were added to each other in a hypnotizing loop. It should be noted that he took advantage of one of these lines to make a reference to the song “What’s The Use” by the late American rapper, Mac Miller.
With the band back it was time to launch another surprise: Tom invites the Englishman Joel Culpepper on stage to perform the song “Money”, who originally plays with another Brit: Mikael Kiwanuka. With an energetic voice, remarkable dance steps and a shirt that didn’t last more than a minute on stage, the Obras Stadium surrendered to the English disco proposal.
To close the night, the band closed their first visit to Argentina with the hits “Lost In Paris” and “South of the River”. At the exit there were many praises for how well all the instruments were heard and the exceptional skill of the musicians, worthy of a show that proposed to highlight the instruments and the sound climates more than the singer’s voice.
