Bizarrap filled the Palermo Hippodrome with its first show in Buenos Aires

The DJ and producer bizarre He had his long-awaited first big show last night in Buenos Aires before a crowded Palermo Hippodrome and finished consecrating himself as the Argentine artist of the moment with a show with a great stage display and musically very electronic.

With three dates whose tickets sold out in a matter of minutes, the first day of the “BZRP Live Tour” He kept the enthusiastic crowd of around 20,000 waiting with an opening set to somewhat mysterious music, which crescendoed until the 24-year-old producer took center stage amidst fireworks and general acclaim.

Dressed in his classic cap, his typical black glasses, white shirt and blue sports jacket, bizarre began his concert at 9:20 p.m. with a version of the song in which he collaborated with Nathy Fluffy through the “BZRP Music Sessions 36” -one of the most popular of his repertoire and which ended up catapulting him to international fame-. The song marked the electronic spirit of the recital, since the original track was intervened by frenetic sounds of the best big beat of the nineties.

The artist from Ramos Mejía, who spent eight months preparing this long-awaited show, finally performs massively and alone before his audience after chaining superlative achievements such as being the most listened to Argentine on Spotify in 2020 globally and four nominations for the Latin Grammy in 2021, which led him to close Lollapalooza in Argentina and Paris, and go on a European tour in more than 20 cities in front of more than 450,000 people.

The second theme that Bizarrap chained was the one that had the collaboration of L-Ghentmoment in which the stage was dyed thematically green, with smoke and flames and quickly mutated from the characteristic RKT to big beat, an electronic style that was predominant throughout the night.

The music was later arranged a bit with the vocal participation in the sessions with the producer of the Spanish ptazetathe American Eladio Carrionthe Dominican chuckythe Spanish abidethe French MHD and the Puerto Rican Resident.

There was also a World Cup moment when the impressive images and videos of Lionel Messi starred on the screens in a succession of montages in which the player’s faces converged at various stages of his life, as a prelude to the appearance of the duki at the show.

The one who is the highest representative of the national urban culture, who some time ago had promised his audience that if the Argentine National Team won the Copa América he would record a song with Bizarrap, was the only guest who stepped on stage at night in Palermo.

After a frenetic rapping, at a speed greater than in session 50 between both musicians, duki exchanged pleasantries with his host: “There is only one Bizarrap and he is Argentine”to which his colleague replied that Duki “is number one.”

Definitely, those who were looking for the characteristic urban music of Bizarrap and their relatives took something not very different from what would Fat Boy Slim in his live shows, in which he displays different music from his studio albums.

The mutation towards electronic big beat was consolidated when “Music Session 24” sounded with Daniela track in which the successful lyrics sung by Nathy Peluso returned in an uncontrolled mash up with tonalities typical of the British sound The Prodigy.

That musical decision generated peculiar contrasts when it came to combining more arguetonado sounds with the predominant big beat; a situation that bizarre He took the opportunity to pour out his energy and stand on top of the tray table to jump and shake the crowd.

The DJ had charismatic moments in his interaction with the public, very heterogeneous in age, and took off his jacket after jumping a lot during the first section of the show.

The lighting and the work of the visual artists, in turn, also rounded off a show with care on all sides. There were even special effects that took the place of snow in a musical moment in which the screens replicated mountains and conveyed cold.

The predominant synth pop bass bases throughout the show were also present in the most anticipated moment of the night: the famous song with the Colombian Shakira.

But the last theme of the evening turned out to be the success shared with the Spanish Quevedoof the “Music Sessions Vol. 52”which at the time of its release became the most listened to song in the world, staying for more than 55 days in Spotify’s Global 1 position.

“I’m very excited, I’m never very expressive but, really, I’m very excited and happy that everyone is here. Thank you very much. I really have no words”said Bizarrap to close the presentation, which lasted more than an hour and a half.

For the Argentine who became the third most listened to Latin artist on Spotify this year -with more than 60 million monthly listeners, becoming the #17 artist in the world- the “BZRP Live Tour” will continue today and tomorrow on the same scenery. Tonight’s concert will also be broadcast for the country and a large part of Latin America live through the DirecTV satellite operator and its DGO streaming platform.
