Joaquín Sabina concert in La Bombonera
January 25, 2010Thursday, 21 January, at 10pm Tina, her cousin and I went to the concert of Joaquín Sabina. It was in La Bombonera. We wanted to take the taxi ‘cos we knew that the Boca district is not that safe, especially not at night. But the driver needed 30 minutes bringing us just three blocks away from Tina’s flat. He took a detour telling us there would be too much traffic to get through and it would be faster walking. He dropped us and from now on we walked within the crowd. It was safe between these hundreds of fans, and it was closer than we imagined.
Arriving at the bowl we needed to find the right entrance, the entrance for the field. We had to wait a while outside ‘cos they were frisking everybody for weapons. The weather was great! The night was still quite warm so that a T-shirt was sufficient. A few minutes later I noticed the request letting everybody in immediately as there was not enough time left until the concert was supposed to start. So we got in quite fast. The concert was great and there was an awesome atmosphere. It was again a bit annoying that the water boys forced their way through the crowd to sell lemonade and water. Three hours later we got out of the bowl. The ladies were smitten by Sabina and his deep smoky voice. J We headed for a café-bar to finish this night with a cool beer.
