Aitana: Pop de TikTok

The lights go out and there is a video clip to warm up the atmosphere, which is already a standard in modern entertainment. The floor opens and Aitana comes out, wearing a very suggestive black. Formentera, a hit to encourage, sounds before “11 reasons”, which is a better song. It sounds like something from the beginning of the millennium, with a dominant drumming and frequent rhythmic “cuts” that give the song a lot of speed. The young singer presents a dynamic show, of lights and dancers, which she has no trouble succeeding in front of a dedicated audience. In the surroundings, scenes of life: girls and mothers with their little brother as a hostage and girls wearing makeup carrying their boyfriends as if they were a key chain. A policeman pretends to watch in front of gate 3, although he doesn’t try too hard either. The youngest ask for sweets and the mothers, who are already back, throw the cap off the bottle and make room for the bag of gum and marshmallows. Inside, “Corazón sin vida” sounds, which suits Aitana’s voice well. The backstage spits out the first accomplice: Sebastián Yatra. He is fair and tightrope on the subject of tuning, but the flow of his accent makes him forgive everything. They also sing “Las Dudas” together, which the public receives with even more enthusiasm, and the Colombian leaves with the mission accomplished: tomorrow the followers go up and Universal breathes. The corps de ballet emerges again and they dance to “Teléfono”, another catchy song with innocuous lyrics. We will not make lyrical comments today, for what? Moment of flashes, always emotional for a romantic, in “Not one more”. It is a song that has permeated the popular spirit and there were tears in Goya. Aitana’s musical proposal doesn’t invent anything (nor does it have to), and it’s a rock-type band: two wasted guitar players, a versatile keyboard player, a decent bass player victim of the criminal sound and a solid drummer. “En el coche” follows, a good radio hit that sounds like pop/disco and “Presiento”, reggaeton with dressings, and suddenly we are in the middle of the concert. I note that the singer is not very expressive. The dances are not ostentatious and she moves with reservations. Even when she jumps up next to the bass drum, after breaking that famous “beat”, she does it shyly. There are some vocal lines that are too forced in terms of diction and others that are too serious; she still gives a good concert, with vocal strength and restrained sensuality that she asks for a family event. As Yatra-«Sebas»-, he has a moment in which he plays Russian roulette with the tuning, something that seems to be an unimportant detail in the transgenic world. At times, and in this I hope I am wrong, he gives me the feeling that he is not happy on stage. The second accomplice, Marmi, comes out wrapped in Autotune, the singers’ clenbuterol. She does “Photo of the DNI”, which is basically a chorus, catchy and suspiciously similar to the previous 14. She gets a good round of applause and recognition for her composition, which she already is. «You want», which raises the few staff that are still in the seat, is one of the most interesting songs. Good arrangement, minimalist for a long time before a couple of dramatic crescendos. The star is also joined by Ptazeta, who sings a song with her in which her voice works rather little. Before the encores, “I stay”, the analysis of which would be redundant. Zzoilo’s collaboration on “Mon Amour”, the Catalan’s biggest hit, is saved for the final fireworks, which ends with “Más”. The corridors are filled with young people running in search of an impossible photo, mothers who make rubber and pissed off brothers. There are boyfriends eating each shadow with kisses and the beach bars, which used to sell candy and chewing gum, now sell creative elixir. I think about it and decide not today; tomorrow, I’ll get up early.
