Hot; spontaneous concert of Carlinhos Brown
October 29, 2009Today
was a hot day, too hot! It started yesterday when I went out for dinner at half past midnight and we still had 22°C. When I left the restaurant (I had my pizza with glaced ham, pineapple and honey again
) it felt even warmer. You just did two steps and you already swet like a pig. But today was even worse. The day started with 22°C and until the evening the temperatures climbed up to 30°C. You didn’t know how to move (or even to breathe) without getting bathed in sweat! It was an oppressive air… or still is.
Tonight I surfed the internet and by pure chance I saw that the Carlinhos Brown band is playing at the Gran Rex theater tonight. I decided to watch them. I went to the theater to see if they still have some of the cheaper tickets. I had luck and got the last ticket of the cheaper category. It was a great concert and an awesome atmosphere. There were quite many Brazilian fans, of course.
Everybody was standing; almost the whole time and almost everybody was dancing. The sound was just great. The whole theater was shaking (I couldn’t even hold still my camera!), all your cloths were moving and your body was vibrating. Awesome feeling!
One of their songs was Magalenha. At the end there was a huge porteño group presenting with Carlinhos some great percussion act. Finally the audience was so loud, persistent and had so much stamina forcing Carlinhos to give so many encores that, in the end, we could enjoy their music 30 minutes more. He did a really good job in entertaining the audience! When I left the theater it was almost midnight and we still had 30°C. On the way home it began to thunder lasting only about half an hour. Yet the temperature didn’t fall. Therefore, at home I enjoyed a bottle (1L) of cool beer.
