Although it hasn’t been raining much lately, many umbrellas have been soaked since Kimi Porte began his solo journey after the breakup of El Último de la Fila: a quarter of a century, an anniversary that the singer-songwriter (voice, guitars) celebrated in his style in his city in you.

He did it with his regular band ( Guitar hero Jordi Busquets, Antonio Fidel on bass, Angel Celada on drums) as well as a nice list of guest artists: poet Bill Parnells, Mark Parrott, Joan Garriga and Arnau Tordera. All this in front of a large and enthusiastic audience who thoroughly enjoyed the songs, jokes and even a pork raffle held in the middle of the concert.

It all started with Quimi Portet’s interpretation alone My hamster is going to Cuba and reached its climax after more than a hundred minutes Star music . A comprehensive tour (twenty-four songs) across ten albums, featuring such wonders as There is a monster inside me (“I want to live in the same place / in the viles soc vilà / in soc semper perillós”). Kimmy Portette told this newspaper a few days ago that his schedule can be a bit hectic, and there’s also something of that in the wonderful Yes Blue, it’s Farm Al Buffalo, Where the question is asked: “Is it possible to be non-extremist?” Maybe not…

The audience, large and enthusiastic, thoroughly enjoyed the songs, jokes and even a pork raffle held at half of the concert.

So Friday was in a way the day of the monster, although it was also the day of great happiness conveyed by Kimi and his companions, well embodied in The Rambla And the extra magic that Joan Garriga’s accordion brought to the song. We were shocked by the rocker’s muscles Scenic Panic And Winter festival the electrical and philosophical enthusiasm of Francesc Pujols Or the absences you experience Saints stamps . also Homes you made del cap dret , where he tells us, oh, about this country of ours, “vençut pel davant i pel darrera / d’atrotinada dignitat”. And of course, Sunny day , is performed as usual in the singer’s sarcastic and humorous key, although on the other hand it is also one of the most beautiful and truly sad pieces you know. Here are twenty-five more regional stars!
