La Oreja de Van Gogh merges with its fans in a mix of nostalgia and future

Let’s be clear: we will not only remember the winter evenings in Madrid because the September nights in the capital are indelible and eternal, chapters perpetually imprinted in our memory that we will revisit when the clock runs out. But there is some reason for this. Van Gogh’s Ear when he sings that “only the good times of yesterday will remain.” Today has already passed, but the soul overflows when the music of those days plays. CDs playing in the car to bring together a handful of young people who are dying to be young in an infinite way.

I don’t know if there are infinity, but, certainly, the San Sebastian group founded in 1996 is already Immortal in the minds of the children who listened to them and who are no longer so children. They have sung Rosas How to sing what you feel deep inside, very close. From pain to ecstasy when it has sounded You can count on me: a hurricane of voices that has made the ground of space tremble Cantarranas from the Complutense University On the second and last night of this fifth edition of the Garden of Earthly Delights.

“I don’t know how long we’ve been without playing, but it’s been a long time,” he said. Leire Martinez. Despite their recent surge in popularity thanks to younger audiences, the songs of always are irreplaceable and the bands that blew up the charts in the 90s, As is the case, they will need more than a track record of hits and sung poems to make their most recent verses resonate with the public. Can you reach the top twice? You can certainly remember.

The cascade of voices was made up of memories, which was truly indescribable throughout the hour that the performance lasted. Jumps, hugs, kisses, smiles, eyes closed, holding on tightly, as if making wishes for the future. Each of the people who was watching LODV has poured every ounce of his soul into singing Kites in the sky, The Beach y The queen of pop. Overall, the scene was reminiscent of what Gistau wrote: “Everything between us is full of future.”

I had protested Leire Martinez Recently when there was speculation about the possible return of Amaia Monterothe group’s initial vocalist who stopped sharing the stage with them in 2007. “I don’t like being ignored,” said the singer. Judging by the response of the audience tonight, Leire is well loved by her fans. “The best pop group in the history of Spain,” exclaimed Diego, singer of the band Veintiuno, one of the most promising groups on the Spanish indie scene, who they brought on to sing The 28th.

With January 20th, La Oreja de Van Gogh has sealed a promise for the future. The audience, whose intertwined voices have faded into the black of the night, will never be as young as they were today. But they will always remember the songs that were the soundtrack to their most heartfelt memories. Everything remains inside and none of it is silent.

ANDY, LUCAS AND BERET SEASON THE FLAVOR OF THE PAST

Let’s be honest: there are damages that are irreparable no matter how much time passes. It is enough to see how the public has chanted the pains expressed in verses of Beret. Except for Lo estoy o Vuelve, which everyone has given their all to, the other songs have taken a backseat. Everything has improved, however, when the singer has given the Garden of Earthly Delights Please don’t leave, his song with Morat, the Colombian group whose catchy lyrics get stuck in your head. The audience’s participation was enjoyable, stirring your guts like only the chants in football stadiums can do.

For their part, the surprise guests of the night, Andy y Lucas have shown that village festivals never go out of fashion. That the music of popular Spain is always a good choice:I loved her so much? No, no. Both the wanna. The past and nostalgia have no place on a weekend like this where everything is present. Andy and Lucas have proven to be professional party entertainers: cheers followed by ‘oles’ to Spain and Andalusia. Oh, and “a la madre que os parió” (to the mother who gave birth to you), Andy closed the show. And, by the way, colossal work by the DJs between the main concerts, who have left the entire audience breathless. That’s what they came for, objective achieved.
