The best concert I have ever been to

 




October 12, 2017 Caupolicán Theater, Santiago.


Jorge Drexler is a singer-songwriter and doctor born in Uruguay in 1964. He won an-Oscar for Best Original Song "Al Otro Lado del Río" (2005) and several Latin Grammy Awards during 2014 and 2018. He plays and composes mostly on guitar with a bunch of people, including his brother.

With my mom we were almost the first to arrive to the theater. Throughout the concert we saw people of different ages having a really good time while Jorge talked to the audience and told some stories behind the songs. The visuals of the concert were quite minimal, with a symbolic sphere of the entire "Salvavidas de Hielo" tour, and the lightning work meant a great company for each song.

It was my first concert as such with my mother. I won both tickets in a raffle on the Play FM radio after insisting a lot, and it was a great birthday present for her. He is an artist that we listened to with my aunt since I was a little girl, and as she and my uncle are the ones I have shared the most with since that time, they have largerly polished my musical tastes.


We really enjoyed the concert, it was very crazy because until we saw it that was not something that seemed possible, or at least for me since going to a concert was not possible, maybe because I had never liked an artist as much as going to see them at a concert, until then.

It was a beautiful and valuable experience, we were sitting practically right in front of the artist but in the gallery, so he clearly heard me say "me!" when he asked if anyone had listened to his latest álbum Salvavidas de Hielo. A precious and unforgettable moment.

  3. OMG such a lucky one! I would love to go a concert with my mom, but she likes Ricardo Arjona type, so a big no for me.
