Cosquín Rock 2011: Day Two plays Charly 
"Obedience and love," he exclaims ("claim?) Mr. Charly García, and is the beginning of the end of a night, this, the second of Cosquín Rock, packed with heroes, modern Refucilo and other weird stuff. Say No More was, of course, the central number, and your set, as opposed to del Flaco Spinetta (who played on the same stage a few hours before) leaving exposed a truth: the two top figures of the rock in English are today for today, at opposite poles. While one reconstructs their health while trying to recover her rock image with a greatest hits live with so many missteps as good intentions, the other sits review their repertoire dark rock jazz virtuoso plan simply because it is Luis Alberto Spinetta, can and he wants.
Charly, we said, was pure hit, propelled by a band that plays in memory (Black García López, your ideal pivot, shoot riffs as if he himself had sired) and female vocals (Rosario Ortega, Hilda replacement Lizarazu) still is shy, but hints at potential. "Near the revolution opened a concert that had as main note to Garcia recovering a rare verve that generated lots of smiles and some discomfort (see time). Singing songs with excerpts from his throat still dull, playing piano less than you would like any music lover, covering the stage with Ozzy style clumsy movements, cutting their pants constantly (which you fall, say, is not the same as download them) and swinging microphones and in their most toxic SNM achieves peaks of feeling when it resorts to its untouchable status and emotional memory caresses (impossible not to enjoy, as in "I pray for you", "Do not cry for me Argentina", "Destroying hotels" and so on ) but, considering the greatness of the subject of yore, let us ask what is more musical. León Gieco, one that passed through the main stage earlier, makes Stamina in "The Canterville Ghost", the playlist unilaterally extends to the very infinity (at three o'clock in the morning was still strong with the people, with "Seminare", "Popotitos", "Mr. Jones" ... ) and the crowd unorthodox take home a picture of a spectacle that could be huge and was only abundant, that after all is not so little.
As mentioned, Spinetta beyond: sitting next to your drummer for most of his set, showed that not only lives the rock crushing riffs. At least not the rock mountain. Although everyone would have liked to return to Eternal Bands in this and in each of the following presentations that Vélez historical, Skinny focused on the latter part of his discography. His virtuous and long zapadas, orchestral keyboard Fontana Mono, the presence of his daughter Vera to sing a couple of songs including a cover of Hugo Fattoruso "Milonga Blues" were gradually laying the attendees who were left either Of course not, there would be (and perhaps he has not more) "I like the pit" but all that makes the Spinetta Spinetta we know. Still, there were "bleeding Peach" and "Ludmila", there version of "Tea for Three" in honor of Cerati the cry of "Strength, Gustavo!", And even a final rock-blues with "I look your love" and paradoxically, a riff ... devastating. Adapting
prickly guitar classic rock to taste American Argentine Skay make it clear again in the Round, the carve-up of roles was similar to that of the Stones: the singer is was bright and guitarist rocanrolera mysticism. The look influences: Neil Young's "Where are you?" Lou Reed "Astrolabe" Eastern sounds in "The Moon in Fez", etc. And the rolled her, of course, also says this, with milestones of her solo career as "Ode to the nameless" and "The Golem of Paternal" and, obviously, with the few good gift bequeathed us Beilinson ricotero that "A whole bat "," The kid yards (with a wink to that phrase of music Lawrence of Arabia that his band is borrowed for "La bestia pop") and a little theme called "Ji ji ji" that some may get sound to you.
And what other great pillar of rock bands missing? The essential in any federal festival: León Gieco, obviously. Beginning with images of bearded youth playing "Iron Man" in Barock 71, the first part of the show included the honorable presence of "a classic Cosquín," the harmonica Pancho "Panchito" Chevez to pay tribute to the " great singer who toured eternal ", Mercedes Sosa, with" All I ask of God. " Their commitment, multiple and profound, represented not only through the invitation of the sponsored that everyone knew in World Alas (this road movie that records their national tour with musicians with disabilities), but also by "memory" and the allusion to the Mothers and March 24 (followed by "You have to jump, to jump ...", of course) and the conscientious anti-imperialist protest Bolivarian" Five centuries alike. " Leon was dedicated to Evo Morales and Andres Gimenez invited to sing a capella. And from that moment, everything turned to the side, of course, insane to imply that union. León D-Mind, crazy board and overdose of adrenaline that turns every issue Gieco, soil heating did give birth to which later became the largest pogo Punilla Valley. From "The Canterville Ghost" to "Think of nothing", from "Jimmy's mom" of Porsuigieco.
Meanwhile, as the sun set and the main platform Hardy offered his pristine melodies, Dread Mar I confirmed in the reggae scene meteoric phenomena his capacity to delight fans of anti-Spinetta, who want nothing to do with any kind of abstraction and only asked for music to wiggle a cadence and a syrupy romantic lyrics easy to remember to croon to the landlady, safer place found there. Few Rastafarians, many are allowed rockerazos singing "You without me" because "I hear it is good to fuck" (sic, and any resemblance to what happens with the cumbia no coincidence) and a host of minitas raised their arms to the sound of rock lovers end market and overshadowed the announcement as regards the review Hiter Los Pericos, the Latin medley Fidel, neatness and subtlety and Los Cafres Nonpalidece roots. Ten times
Virus Guests: Only hits, appeared to be the watchword. September 1 To achieve im-ba-ti-ble, the Moura called three: Carca for "Pagan Pictures", Dani Umpi (dress, wig, red plugs) for "Honeymoon in hand" and songwriter Ana Naón for "Love disposable. Cortito and effective.
The largest pogo ... You know, as usual, "Ji ji ji" shot in a frenetic movement ricotero new catharsis. It was the end of September Skay, the chorus as sang the public and, of course, shook the ground.
Vortex bizarre: The Bizarre Music Party took place at the Hangar stage. In addition to the invaluable presence of Pocho The panther and the greats, the crazy festichola lasted all day a sort of parallel world. Skay sounded in the main while there a couple of crazy delirious with Vilma Palma, Havoc, the Pimpernel or Fey. Uff.
Charly Stand Up: the deranged sentences Garcia were a separate show. "Never give a tip to a Hare Krishna," he urged, shortly after having addressed the comparison between "the love of one person and markets a line of" who would come to mean "Vice." "Here faso lack smell," he said. But no, it was missing.
a duo: the images that opened the show singing Gieco "Iron Man" during that Barock seventies led him to establish a sort of duet with himself, singing on the recording. Two lions at one low price. Final
stoner: The boys closed the stage Nonpalidece reggae theme but forty minutes later than scheduled. "Hands up everyone who wants to enjoy Reggae-roots "asked the impatient Ramljak Nestor. Forget waiting and hesitating to get the rhythm of" Your presence "does not cost them anything.

Dusk: Flaco ethereal sweetness, touching audiences assumed that for once, just listened. Meanwhile, the first stars were drawn on the contour of the mountains. What else?
honoring the prophet in the reggae scene, Los Pericos was agreed that May 11 marks the 30th years after the death of Bob Marley and were released with a respectful version of "Iron Lion Zion". I could not miss.

dog: the Pack led by Cyrus Pertusi touched early but they still managed to become one of the most compelling issues of the day. Join tight, seamless power and a step in his climb to the very date in April at the Teatro Flores.
Sex ... Weakness?: Opening the main stage had fragrance for women. First came the fury garagera of Utopians and then the imprint of classic rock Maria Eva. Grrrl power.
