After Waxing Wait To Tan

in Logroño Bodegas Olarra

Since a few months ago the city of Logroño announced Catharsis Cycle program this season, a lot of us had noted on 16 April our calendars, and the great Iván Ferreiro, after years and years, finally visited the city. It was not easy, however, to be a special cycle that aims to merge two arts and the world of wine and music, the concert had a very limited capacity for 110 people, and the-few-inputs that went on Sale (more half) flew in a few minutes, leaving many fans of Galician no chance to enjoy his show, which, by the way many here do not even know who he was the little guy sitting at the piano was available to play. In SextoHombreDigital hurry to the last moment, but finally we were lucky to get in, and this is what happened ... We

the beautiful and impressive hall of Bodegas Olarra , a nice place adapted and improvised concert hall. Ivan was immediate and appeared on time, accompanied only by his inseparable brother Amaro and Emilio Saiz, another of his trusty guitar. In this trio format, with Ivan sitting at the keyboard and one hand always attentive to the base scheduled box, the three musicians offered a fun concert started a little cold but it was heating up as they would feel comfortable and wine glasses were falling one after another.

Surely, if among the attendees was a picky music critic, I would say that the concert had several glitches and occasional confusion, but I would lie if I said that we were there it was really big. Ivan pulled sympathy, repertoire and voice (what a voice!) and the audience responded in style, accompanied on each chorus, cheering wildly each time he had occasion, giving Ivan and his warmth of the welcome that we had so desired offer. Ivan

, far from engaging in presenting his latest work, was sharing songs from his four solo albums, always well accompanied by guitars and Emilio Amaro, who also enjoyed a great time, constantly exchanging glances and smiles accomplices, showing that they were enjoying a concert different from usual. The best moments IMHO, came from the hand of Fahrenheit 451, The Whole Truth, Spirited Away, Tournedos and SPNB (extolled both) and, above all, Promises , 80's , "M" and equilibrium is impossible , songs Pirates who played the piano solo and managed to touch us all.

Ivan and Emily Amaro skipped the protocol that makes an exact time concert and stretched over a half hour, a sign of how much they were enjoying, and how well the public was responding. When they finally parted, they took the well deserved and thunderous applause from an audience always faithful to one of the leading musicians of the English pop of recent decades, and came home with the feeling to be given dozens of concerts, best, yes, but the good atmosphere that is breathed, the complicity and intimacy that occurred in the Bodegas Olarra, far outweighs that. We enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed them, and that is something that is always welcome. Hopefully back soon, and miss them ...
