veet -> El Cigala with Diego Morao (Oct. 21 2011 16:19:37)
|
Saw the L.A. concert last night, his first US tour. There were a few sound problems, balance and e.q. (way too trebly, with an occasional foray into feedback-land.) This, and a slightly rushed nervous energy that sometimes kept the groove from solidly establishing itself, marred what could have been a solid show. Regardless, the audience went crazy and gave him 2 standing ovations. The repertoire was mostly his recorded hits and new album, so it was more about Cuban son and Argentine tango than Flamenco. Still and all, lovely music beautifully interpreted. Diego Morao did a superb solo bulerias, and the two of them alone on stage did a great Solea, and closed with a second encore of Cigala-style extended bulerias. The band:YELSY HEREDIA, Bass; BERNARDO PARRILLA, Violin; JAIME CALABUCH JUMITUS, monster piano player; SABU SUAREZ PORRINA, Percussion
