Divided broke it in Vélez and did “justice” with La Renga

Divided broke it in Vélez and did “justice” with La Renga

So, in three hours of concert, in which of course there were plenty of songs from “Caressing the rough” and “The era of stupidity”their two most celebrated albums, although there was also a good dose of compositions from other albums, especially “Nose of the century”, divided did nothing more than bring to the stage of Velez what you usually do in porteño Flowers Theaterwhere he frequently offers concerts.

Perhaps the most powerful symbol of the great capital of the group was the row of speakers for the bass and the guitar as the only stage design. A true declaration of principles from a band whose sound emanates exclusively from the instruments they play, without recorded tracks, and which dispenses with all stage gadgets.

Indeed, as soon as the concert began, the center of the show was the devastating performance of the trio, which unleashed a true “electric storm” which he could not tame not even the passage in which the autochthonous rhythms that are also part of the band’s DNA appeared.

However, the group also wanted to treat themselves, such as inviting some friends who added colors to various themes, in a parade in which santaolallain “What do you see?”, and the frontman of La Renga, in “Sobrio a las piñas”, They stood out as the most recognized.

The appearance of La Renga

The great icing was when he allowed, even for a song, that la renga can act in the Buenos aires city when giving him the stage, which shook with “The end is where I left off.”

It is worth remembering that the City Government had not allowed the historic Mataderos band to play since that recital in Huracán (2017), and Ricardo Mollo shouted it from the four winds: “An act of justice. We had La Renga in Capital, crazy”.

divided had announced last year at a press conference that it was going to celebrate its 35-year history with a national tour that would have its Buenos Aires stop in Velez Sarsfieldwhich would mean the return to the stadium where in 1994 he crowned the presentations of “The era of stupidity”his most successful album.

The long-awaited night began at 9:50 p.m. with “Countryman of Hurlingham” and, until closing, minutes before 1 on Sunday, with the Sumo classic “The armored eye”Divided staged his entire story.

Before the start of the concert, against the background of the scenario described above, the symbolic charge was also noted with the projection of a long scene in which a farmhand calmly and silently observes the immensity and stillness of the landscape, to then get on a tractor and destroy all the grassland of the place.

The “rock steamroller” He wore everything in just the first hour of the show, with a series of high voltage through which they went without interruptions “Sábado” –with an intro with a nod to “Another One Bites de Dust”, by Queen-, “El 38”, “Cuadros colgados”, “Haciendo cosas raras”, “La ñapi de mamá”, “Tanto anteojo”, “Dreams and wars”, “Long gargle”, “Life of moles”, “Sports ride”, “Azulejo”, “How are you” and “La rubia tarada”.

The calm, although only in sound intensity, came with “What do you see?”, where Gustavo Santaolalla with a charango and the violinist Javier Casalla masterfully impregnated electric reggae with sounds from the altiplano. “A song that cost but is like a great love,” defined Mollo.

After a brief silence, the guitarist himself appeared on a mini stage set up in the middle of the stadium, for a solo version of “Rock Spaghetti”. The return to the central stage with the band in full was with “Vientito del Tucumán”, which had a stupendous Nadia Larcher as a guest

The telluric block continued with “Guanuqueando”, which featured the group Tres Mundos in winds.

The next guest, the guitarist Nana Arguen brought back the rock sounds, first with a brief bluesed passage from “Wake up, Baby”, by Pescado Rabioso; and then with “Sisters”.

The great synthesis between folkloric rhythms and power rock brought him “The muleteer”, performed under the intimidating eyes of Atahualpa Yupanqui projected on the screens.

A section of flutes, violin, sax and bagpipes joined in the live premiere of “St. Jumper”the recent release of the group, and the singer Leticia Lee added to the guest list by excelling in “Poppy of 66”.

“We are close to La Paternal, so we are going to Artigas street, where he lived daddy”, said Mollo, who added that “Hendrix was there but he appears daddy and I said: `Ah, that can be done here`”. It was the obvious prelude to “Dirty and messy.”

“Crua Chan” once again reminded Sumo and “Cielito lindo” He fired an announced pogo, which was extended with “Rasputín” and “Paraguay”.

“It is very difficult to thank for this. This moment is unforgettable”, expressed an ecstatic Arnedo when the night was closing.

“I’m not going to introduce it. come in He is a very loved guitarist, ”he slipped mollo before starting with “Sobrio a la piñas”, to which he joined Chizzo Napoli.

Absolutely out of the program, as in a generous offer of two for one, those who attended the Divididos show took as a yapa having had the privilege of seeing La Renga in Buenos Aires. Divided did.

“Hang gliding” and “The armored eye” they put the bow on an evening that was a gift for everyone.
