While the Dream burned the ships in Fira Gran Via, not far away, another massive musical event: Alejandro Sanzonce again filling the Palau Sant Jordi on his return to Barcelona four years after his last visit (to the RCDE Stadium, in Cornellà), and seeing each other’s faces with those fans who are a little bewildered since, a few weeks ago, he confessed “sad and tired & rdquor; in the networks Perhaps the procession goes inside, but this Saturday we had Alejandro full of joy and enjoyment with his combination of milestones from yesterday and today.
But it is time for changes for the man from Madrid, who debuts ‘management’ (reuniting with one of his first supporters, Iñigo Zabala), a record company (Sony Music replaces Universal after eleven years) and hair dye (blonde). With all that, this tour looks like a lung of oxygen in a time of ‘impasse’. Although he began the concert with the confessional words that open his latest album, ‘Sanz’ (“I am the son of María and Jesús, the one from Alcalá and the one from Algeciras& rdquor;), this intimate material was out of focus in the Sant Jordi. Instead of defending that album with a specific tour, perhaps in small-capacity venues, Sanz went back to business as usual, the big ‘shows’, in which that songbook is lost.
no prisoners
And there, It is still a first sword, As we noticed, nothing else came on stage at the blow of ‘It’s not the same’, a song that kept its ‘punch’ 20 years later, with his Cuban accents and his urban punch, and that he linked with ‘Everything I was is what I am’. Wide and flexible band, lends itself to rock apparatus, percussive Latin, sinuous r’n’b with hurricane choruses. And the extra-long ballads, from ‘Mi marciana’ to ‘Desde cuando’. “We do not take prisoners, tonight we give everything & rdquor ;, Sanz announced, recalling that that night marked the 25th anniversary of his debut at Sant Jordi (actually, it was June 19).
Although his voice was shown in a magazine state, in many of those songs it was not necessary for him to scream: the chorus of ‘La fuerza del corazón’, of length prior to the Tik Tok era, fell on the public, adorning the scene with luminous balloons. ‘Medleys’ stuffed with shareable tunes, ‘urban’ detours dominated by the band and, surprise, Manolo García sharing a meaning ‘I would like to be’, and Niña Pastori in ‘Cuando nadie me ve’ and her rumba ‘Bon dia’ (song dedicated to Barcelona), path of incontestable letters: ‘Corazón partío’, the remote ‘Living fast’, the delicate ‘You see it’ alone with the piano. While he decides his next step, Sanz has a consistent catalog of songs with which to share his nights.
