The bars are filled in the Carabanchel neighborhood, between thirds and cubatas, people dressed in black and red, as the protagonist of today’s film had established, and who occupy all the establishments. “Who would have thought that the kid who grew up in the neighborhood would fill the Palace, and look, I always bought at his family’s fruit store,” one of the neighbors commented anecdotally amid the commotion prior to the big event. “The fashionable group is playing in the city today” narrated the song of Storyfeeling written by Jorge Escorial, who today would be precisely that fashionable group under the pseudonym Recycled J, which after more than 10 years of career would manage to get 12,000 people into the Vistalegre Palace, right in the neighborhood where they grew up and after a national tour full of posters of sold out.
The lights went out inside the Palace and, between thunderous screams that filled the non-existent space left in the venue, the music introduced him who needs no introduction. 150 songs, the first single from the Madrid native’s latest work, called Casanova and which was released in June 2023, kicked off what, as Recycled J assured, was going to be a night that he would never forget, like everyone present. “How long have I been waiting for this moment,” he said, relieved after a frenetic start. Madrid is not just another place for those who are always proud of their origins and this, his first Vistalegre, was the dream that Jorge always aspired to.
The night was a party to which all the people who have accompanied the artist along the way had an invitation. Enry-K was the first to go on stage to perform Baby Boo and, behind him, Leo Rizzi with black pearl, two songs that were released in October with the launch of Casanova Deluxe and that left no one indifferent. Recyced J appeared before his faithful with a silver coat that he ended up taking off as the songs progressed until reaching the pause that would give rise to one of the great thanks of the night, the appearance of the one who is the producer of many of his songs and one of the first who decided to accompany the one from Carabanchel on this trip: Selecta. “In this last album we have opted for pop, but it would not have been possible without my brother, what we achieved in City Pop [el álbum anterior] and especially to this song,” the artist commented as his voice melted into the tempo of Bambinothe song that for a long time was the most played in his discography and one of the most acclaimed with its verse “summer comes back and you don’t come back.”
The concert would last a little longer at that station with the entrance of Juancho Marqués and Ibiza, perhaps the most appropriate time to say that “salt on your body cannot be compared to bathing among masses of people.” However, those invitations to the party did not only include professional colleagues. Daniel, a childhood friend of Jorge’s whom he met at Santa Rita school, was going to star in the most romantic moment of the night by proposing marriage to his partner in front of 12,000 people who cheered the victory of the affirmative answer. Without a doubt, the moment that left even the Palacio de Vistalegre with goosebumps was the performance with Aleesha of Angelito that, as the song would say, every night they give their best, just like hungry dog where the man from Madrid acknowledged that “before I didn’t know what love was, but luckily now I do.”
Recycled J was not facing another date, in addition to being the first time he performed at the venue par excellence in his neighborhood, his personal situation was not easy either. “My name is Jorge Escorial Moreno Casanova, when we were making the album in 2022 I wanted to dedicate it to my grandmother Matilde and in December she went to heaven. I only asked my production team that my other grandmother, Andrea, be in the box where my entire family is today, but unfortunately she also left us a month ago.” Many will think that success is money or Spotify plays, but perhaps success is that your entire neighborhood chants the names of the grandmothers that you have always boasted about in your songs, perhaps success is that the biggest hug they can give you give it to 12,000 people supporting you and hailing your name. That was what Jorge and the thousands of people who accompanied him experienced; “Where I grew up, I’m going to see grandma on Sunday,” he says. Rosas freestyle. After the most intimate moment of the night, the instrumental of To not return: “This is for those people who don’t come back, because of what we have experienced with them,” he said.
After a trip to the origins, in which the artist sang some of his most legendary songs such as Although they say that I o for the pasta, one of the most anticipated moments of the night arrived, Natos and Waor took the stage who, together with Recycled J, make up Hijos de la Ruina, probably the Madrid group par excellence today. “The first time I stepped on a big stage was thanks to them, the first time I got on this stage was thanks to them and I hope that the last time I am on a stage will be with them,” the man from Carabanchel commented gratefully to the rapper duo. Road, Cold sweats, Us o More alcohol They destroyed the little energy that was left in the Palace and its public. “I’m glad that 12,000 people have realized that you are the best, but I want to say one thing, you deserve much more,” Waor concluded about the brother who has accompanied them so many times.
However, the night was not over and, as it says in 2 cups, “you didn’t want Recycled and they gave you two cups.” The unexpected news was presented along with a new song with a marked essence: “I’m from Madrid, from the mother who gave birth to me, I’m sorry Conchi, you know that I love you a lot.” After a performance with his dancers in which the audience did not lose their attention, the Madrid native confirmed his next album called Saint George which will be released this year. “Casanova It was the rose, with Saint George We flourish and return to where we came from,” he concluded.
After performing different songs from Casanova y Sad Summer, his last epé, it was time to praise his parents for everything they have done for him over the years. “I want to thank my father for two reasons: one because, even though he has been a fruit seller since I was 16, he is the only one who has managed to get my music played on the radio and two because he is the biggest gangster and father one can have,” commented Recyced. J while all of Vistalegre began to chant their names: Conchi and Jero. Behind them, a huge list of thanks followed one after another, from his production team, colleagues, sound and lighting technicians, friends from the neighborhood who have accompanied him on this adventure, producers with whom he has achieved everything. , to Prefix 91, to the people of merchandising, from Zero Negativo, and especially to Ana, his partner. Selecta came out on stage after a great ovation and she presented, together with Jorge, the Gold Record that she has achieved together with Casanova.
The concert was coming to an end. “I have no words, I will never forget this in my life, the first song I made was on a block here in front and today we are here, I had many conversations about why we had to make a Vistalegre and not a WiZink and I think it has has been demonstrated. Don’t forget in life where you come from and to be grateful for what they have given you, I will never forget. The most important noise tonight is for my people in Madrid, I owe you everything.” The emotion gave rise to A tu lao to put the finishing touch to a unique night, “tell me what’s the point of having won if I don’t have you?” lao” echoed in a Palace full of stars represented by mobile phones. Behind her, reality illuminated the room. The show had come to an end.
Thousands of people left the Vistalegre Palace. “It was an absolutely historic concert,” many commented on the way home, others however had one last date with Recycled J at La Riviera. A few minutes from Carabanchel, Boom Boom would take place, a party created by Natos and Waor in which the urban genre predominates throughout the night. Fernando Costa, Delaossa, Hoke and those from Madrid are common on the DJs’ plates who mix in front of hundreds of people. In it, Jorge gave the attendees some of the songs, along with Selecta or Natos, that he had already played at the concert. “When I say goodbye I don’t want you to cry even though I have written to you.” 150 songs” he said as he retired, leaving in his memories a night that, like the thousands of people who accompanied him, he will never forget.
