The Murcian band confirms its extraordinary state of form with one of those concerts that are destined to remain in the memory
The danger lies in getting lost in the pedaling and forgetting what really matters. In the absolute and voluntary inability to even try to understand that changes are part of the artistic process. Comfort zones? Territory as fertile in the initial phase as empty, or in love with repetition, in the medium term. If rationalizing evolution turns out to be such a futile exercise, it is because it is based on trying to describe in words what is still a journey moved by the impulse, energy and emotion of a here and now . And those are the main drivers that have led Viva Suecia to embrace an infectious and radiant luminosity with ‘El amor de la clase que sea’, a final album in which the band from Murcia leaps over the walls of the well-known habitat and the terrifying honey uproots. from comfort to star in one of those script twists that spark enthusiasm.
After the darkness and penetrating atmospheres of their first works, the formidable ‘La fuerza majeure’ and ‘Otros principios fundamentales’, and the intoxicating grandeur of the sublime ‘El milagro’, the group now focuses on a more direct and purer sound. giving greater prominence to the beautiful voice of Rafa Val and enriching his proposal from the open windows of pop, the complicity and admiration of joint work with other artists and, above all, the incessant search for the perfect melody. Different shapes to cover some fantastic private label letters, the kind that pierce shields with the accuracy of an iron arrow and the power of an instantaneous reflex. With these tools, the group has formed a remarkable album that advocates affection, generosity, respect and gratitude, banners that were waved with captivating enthusiasm at their memorable concert last Saturday in Murcia.
A much-anticipated appointment, you could sense the general impatience in the great atmosphere breathed during Don Flúor’s brilliant pre-show session, and surrounded by expectations easily fulfilled over two hours of pure guts, epic, sweat, electricity and tears. Even for those of us who have been following Viva Suecia since the story’s prologue, what happened in the packed arena of the city came as a complete shock. It’s not that they’re in their best shape to date, which they are, but we’re talking about a group capable of turning any of the songs in their fantastic repertoire into a hurricane of immeasurable emotional and musical scope.
Counting on a staging whose hypnotic lighting effects are worth highlighting, the band began to hit the accelerator and burn the wheel with “We have learned nothing”, “The years”, “Almost everything”, “It evil’ and ‘Where to go’, a winning quintet destined to challenge our throats and tear ducts. Most of us lost in both cases, but those who survived that brutal start had a very hard time repeating the feat with the arrival of ‘Hacernos público’, one of the most powerful songs from their latest album, and ‘Días amables’ , still the best today. Viva Suecia song. A masterpiece that was also one of the most beautiful moments of a concert that, thanks to songs as indisputable as ‘Hablar de nada’, continued to walk the paths of the unforgettable; ‘Parar la tierra’, with beautiful vocal waste from Val; a beautiful version of Second’s ‘Exquisite Corner’; or the radiant combo formed by “What Remains of Affection,” a five-star chorus, and “We’ve Gained Time.” A special mention goes to ‘La voz del presidente’, an excellent song that has achieved classic status in record time, comparable to what has been achieved by the even more recent ‘Just when the world squeezes’ and ‘El rey desnuda’, commissioned by close the concert before the arrival of the encores.
Remember what I told you before the spectacular start of the concert? Well, the explosion was repeated with an epilogue that dispelled our already minimal doubts that we were attending one of the region’s concerts of the year. It was amazing what was experienced when ‘El bien’, with the participation of Pedro Sola’s dazzling saxophone, ‘What you worth’, ‘Good for you’ and the invincible ‘Amar el conflicto (Todo lo que importa)’ succeeded each other. . Collective madness that eventually took the form of a personal and non-transferable memory to keep as a treasure.
The fundamental role in Rodrigo Cominero’s keyboards, choirs and guitars. The precision of Fernando Campillo on drums. Jess Fabric’s infallible bass. That characteristic ability of Alberto Cantúa to balance elegance and delirium with the mastery of an ever-exciting guitar. The imposing presence of a giant named Rafa Val who mercilessly devours the tables and exudes all the light befitting a summery November. Each element developed to its maximum potential from the beginning to a circular conclusion that gave way to the procession of happy faces under the stage and the collective embrace of a band that not only gave us an endless epic night, but reminded us that music can be more than the roar, that beauty is also on the other side of the change and that great songs endure and stay far beyond the noise.
