Joaquín Sabina, during the concert in the Barclaycard Center of Madrid. / Claudio Alvarez
Joaquín Sabina again the stage last night in Madrid but shortened a performance that had begun eventful, diminished powers because the tension and, according to sources close to the artist, some digestive problems prevented him from undertaking the encore with the singer planned to finish his performance. He was returning alone to Spain after five years.
To understand the Sabina who served in the Palacio de los Deportes in the capital had to look at his face while performing In my forty and ten . When he sang the part that says “start thinking collected, to settle down, to resign myself to dictate will, pardon the sadness”, it was with such conviction that the public, used to shout “no!” In that point, had no objection. With eyes moved by emotion, staring and an expression between pain and happiness, Sabina summed up in a gesture all suffered, all enjoyed and all that is to come. Midway through the concert, after a break, and it was not so eventful.
Increased the Ubeda on stage dressed in turquoise suit, black shirt, bowler hat and long, graying goatee. Willing to shed light “in times of storm.” And he found that his -the audience that has grown romantically with his letters- accepts with pleasure that the track has become a concert crowd. The 15,000 people who applauded him was sold out concert in under an hour. The second concert will be held on Tuesday, lasted 10 minutes.
Playing at home involves more pressure than usual. Yesterday he spoke of “stage fright” (he reminded Pastora Soler) and confessed to having suffered a dizzy spell in the hours before the concert. Citing stage fright, something changed in your face. And minutes later publicly apologized for not being able to do “the encore they were prepared.” But it seemed more an overdose of emotion than anything else. Until then she had cried at least three times. Then came the downturn (“the truth is I do not feel very well”) which led to the closing concert
The artist confessed to having suffered a dizzy spell before the recital of Madrid
For when that unexpected end came, had spent almost two hours and it was clear that the show came very road after passing through South America. Were 26 concerts in 58 days. The tour, which sold out tickets, will be continued in Spain in March and April and will result in a live album with engraving at Luna Park in Buenos Aires material.
Before the closure was seen a very active Sabina. He played the first seven songs up. She sang with passion every “now that” the opening track and winked at Madrid with I lower in Atocha . He showed that, although it has earned a singer in the history of the Spanish language, has lost a great comedian and also a decent painter: his were the drawings that appeared on the back screen of the stage. And it’s still the best musician introduces his band: it was one on one, praising his virtues, rhythm and rhymes, with winks and affection. He also made it clear that it is a master of the captatio benevolentiae Latin when he said that the songs of 19 days and 500 nights – “green old,” he called it were unheard of in home because there just gets “good music”. He reminded Dylan, with a version of It ain’t me babe .
To explain the choice of 19 days and 500 nights referred to “Last Summer” of his youth, which lasted until 50. He spoke openly of stroke he suffered and made a statement against drug use. The disc that names the tour was the culmination of a series of albums – White Lies , Physics and Chemistry , I, me, me to you – which coincided with a period of unbridled creation of a life of complicated rhythm. Yesterday, those songs, sung from the perspective that gives the time, seemed to acquire a residue that only gives see things from outside. After the concert, a girl came to the newsroom and headed to reporters: “Do not be evil, was a great concert and has been able to emotion. It has been almost two hours and we have to value it. “
