They say a sincere hug it is able to warm even the coldest days. And on Wednesday, Rozalén’s music had this effect on those present. The artist posed final point in the concert tour of his latest work,”Matriz”, and he did it by deploying two hours of repertoire. Fate wanted the Porta Ferrada stage to be the setting for this farewell after the Arts d’Estiu festival in Pineda de Mar, where the concert had initially been planned, was cancelled. It was also a cathartic farewell for the singer, who explained to those present that her father died suddenly during the making of the album. A grief that has accompanied him on this tour that ended on Wednesday.
Headquarters tea a depth that pierces the most resistant armor and makes the hairs of anyone who stops to listen stand on end. It is a journey to the wealth and historical heritage of all the cultures that make up the territory with songs like The Swallow’s Tomb o if you want to write me, and that is why all languages are available: Basque, Galician, Catalan and Spanish. In fact, uone of the songs that was not missing was precisely the one he sings in four voices with Sílvia Pérez Cruza havanera made by the singer-songwriter from Palafrugell: bo love. And that’s exactly what I had to do a look at the audience to see love of the good and of all ages: from the retired women in row 6 who hugged to the rhythm of the jotas, to the couple in love in row 10 who didn’t stop looking at each other for a moment or the girl who sang the purple door with the sleeve in a rampel of the artist, which he got off the stage to sing in the audience and was thrilled to see how the little one knew the lyrics of the song from top to bottom.
“My parents came to Madrid to record an interlude of the album for Headquarters. As they were leaving, that day at the station, I hugged my father to say goodbye. And at that moment I didn’t know that it would be the last hug I would give him before dying”, shared the artist at one point in the concert. Another moment when the audience’s hair stood on end.
And like someone who travels by train and sees how the landscapes change as the journey progresses, la singer-songwriter ended with the songs of Headquarters and intoned the classics like Sparks fly, eating you with kisses, sunflowers, It’s a train o and I searched. Sadness gave way to more cheerful rhythms and they struck twelve at night as the singer sang what she called “the raves that our grandmothers and grandfathers used to attend”, also known as charras, traditional folkloric songs from Castile. With everything given and blessed, Rozalén brought all his colleagues up on the stage and with a joint hug he said goodbye to the audience.
