The Argentine rapper staged his meteoric rise in an overwhelming concert in which he consecrated his generational power and fused his ascendancy in trap with the rock sound injected by a four-piece band
The urban music has entered into the ‘star system’ and from Argentina came duki, figure with an ascendant trapper and deviations from reggaeton, akin to the pop hook and, apparently this Friday, an enthusiast of rock sounds with a deep tradition in the southern country. rapper Broadly contoured, staged with a supersonic and imperial tongue, he gave an ostentatious demonstration of power in the first of his two concerts at the Palau Sant Jordi, both with the sold out.
It had been possible to see Duki at Apolo and at Primavera Sound, but what is happening now is on a different scale. Closer to ‘stadium rock’ than to the traditional stage and sound sparseness of many urban idols. The critics with the absence of instrumentalists in many concerts of the field will not complain: although Mauro Ezequiel Lombardo Quiroga started the session alone on stage with a quote from his hit ‘Givenchy’, a group of guitar, bass, keyboards and drums surrounded him from the thunderous ‘Rockstar’.
metal invective
Duki claims to be a fan of ’90s nu metal bands like Linkin Park, and there he sounded closer to that, and to Cypress Hill, than to Maluma (in sharp contrast to record records). At least in Argentina, the country of Charly García and Spinetta, rock is still sexy. Flares worthy of Rammstein accompanying rhymes in ‘autotune’, never seen before. And the ‘hits’ machine, without giving up: from ‘Tumbando el club’ and ‘If you feel alone’ to that ‘Volando bajito’ with a nod to our global celebrity: “I’m a fucking, tenuous rebellion / I hit it with height , like Rosalía & rdquor ;.
It was not a linear ‘show’, but rather Duki dedicated plots to more minimalist themes, such as ‘Vuelta a la luna’ or that ‘Otro level’ presented as “the backbone of Argentine trap& rdquor;, which resonated powerfully. And very pop numbers, like ‘Pinifarina’. Savoring the moment, he described his big reunion with Barcelona as a “historic night & rdquor; and he showed empathy by stopping the concert a couple of times to demand that they distribute water to the crowded crowd on the dance floor and ask that the crowd loosen up to avoid greater evils.
Duki, attentive and domineering, and hospitable as he always received one of his friends on stage: at Sant Jordi he was the Spanish-Argentine rapper Dano in ‘Santo Grail’. Detonation with the ‘BZRP music sessions 50’, with the track on fire, broadening the stylistic frame, and trophies like the popular ‘She don’t give a FO’ and that reggaeton ‘Si quieres frontear’, grown with a reinforced rock apparatus . A finding that could well explore and transfer to the study: when will the perreo-metal become official?
