I face the blank page remembering the last trip to Concepción ... like some time ago (about two years), repeated the feat, since Ismael Serrano Conce again to give a charity concert and free as a form of commitment to Chile and in particular with the earthquake victims of the past, show that because of high call became a marathon day with two shows in a row . This time the flight is made out together with my family and friends, Litof and Star who I went to fetch the stick and tipín four twenty in the afternoon we embark way Conce, final destination the Teatro de la Universidad de Concepción, where the concert would take place, as the arrival was a bit early we miss a walk to shorten the wait ... hey we are in when we said and started walking, when we got to the theater we were caught with a pine not less people that like us they were excited to enjoy what was billed as a day impossible to forget, after queuing wait a few minutes, we go to take our places ... with a darkened stage to visualize the inside left of a home, entering the musicians and then, after getting input key to enter the last resident of that home ready to receive us into the intimacy of their daily lives. The chord function and then to shed his bag and hat, began ...
... I return to the place where the criminal check hours
while dreaming and his alibi is removed,
empty home or your sketch
broken and unfinished. Back there,
to place the blame on me shelter,
where I expected the empty fridge,
mail your name on the mailbox
and this song ...
"With family and friends for joining us tonight, welcome to our house feel like yours I hope also, so make yourself comfortable ... home work from home to work regardless of whether the way we travel days to day is that we dream of one day for us, we assume the role we assign no questioning, we have lost the ability to influence the destination in the world around us we see as something unalterable, like something written for us by capricious gods, good friends and family tonight I invite them just to rebel against this idea, to become a few questions, to remind you should be living, but do not have a worth to give answers about whether it seems important to ask whether those things that you fill the time we seem to play live something to those dreams that one day we had and maybe give up, though maybe not ... eh, good for us is a pleasure to be tonight with all of you bringing them our solidarity through what is our business that is music, music is used for company and I think it can be extremely useful in times of trouble, that and dream, pursue and understand that reality does not end where just a mirage, the reality ends where the end of our dreams, so get to work, thanks for joining us tonight ...
That was our welcome and thereafter all magical realism, met their neighbors, their tastes and experiences between songs ... I can not not mention the theatrical attitude and complicity that Serrano has with the other inhabitants of his home, his musicians, who accompany staff every moment of the show ...
Back in Chillán again with sound texts is wandering in my head that remind me and reaffirm my ideas:
wars and famines going to be outlawed.
the government declared that it is forbidden
for example, say the foreign word,
border territory passport or foe.
GIFT FOR A FIRST BIRTHDAY
JUST REMEMBER TO LIVE
