"We are too many, and they will not be able to pass...", Eva Amaral intoned on Saturday night on stage and bare-chested. A gesture that revolutionized the Sonorama Ribera festival, where the Aragonese duo Amaral used their most vindictive character. The concert that was to commemorate their silver wedding anniversary with music, 25 years since her first album, with which they shared their name, saw the light, became a cry for the dignity and strength of women.
It was just before Revolución began, the penultimate song of the 26 programmed, that Eva took the floor and explained that the next song was dedicated to the singers Rocío, Zahara, Rigoberta, Bebe... and so many women who see their dignity threatened . "Because no one can take away the dignity of our nakedness. The dignity of our fragility, of our strength. Because we are too many," said the artist.
And immediately after, she dropped the red sequined bodice she wore throughout her performance, before a cheering audience of 35,000. "They will not be able to pass, above life, that we want to inherit, where I am not afraid to say what I think," concluded the artist, who began to interpret the theme showing her breasts.
A gesture with which he wanted to support Rocío Saiz, who was forced by a police officer to cover her breasts during the concert she was offering in Murcia last June and which, without a doubt, became one of the unique moments from Sonorama Ribera. And not only of this edition, but of its 26-year history.
The singer herself said that she did not plan to look at X (formerly Twitter) to see what repercussions it would have. As the artist already intuited, the social network took off smoke a few hours later: "In a land governed by the extreme right, Amaral takes off her tits and claims that we are here," says a tweeter.
Since it was announced, Amaral's concert had aroused many expectations that it far exceeded. For almost two hours he was reeling off songs included in his first eight albums, some almost forgotten by the general public and that this concert has allowed them to be found again, not only Eva and Juan, as they themselves have recognized, but also their followers.
The public sang without stopping each and every one of the songs included in the concert. All night, I don't know what to do with my life, Jump, I would die for you, Summer days, Rosita, Kamikaze, Into the wild... It is not possible to place one as the public's favorite. They all delighted those attending the performance.
The concert was short and almost without realizing it came to the last song, the one with which the group declared their new album, the ninth, in which they are immersed at this moment and of which only transcended There you are. And as the duo acknowledged in the appearance before the media that took place at the end of the concert, in his opinion it seemed "a great song" because of how the public reacted.
Together, the singer celebrated the entire evening. "That time we came for the first time was very nice and we shared the stage with Teenage Fun Club, but after all the times we've come this is one of the most beautiful moments in the band's history," Eva Amaral told the agency. Eph. An appreciation ratified by Juan Aguirre, who has assured that he has assured that "it seemed that we were going to fly away".
The performance, as assessed by the festival's director himself, Javier Wormwood, probably ranks in the Top 3 of all those that have taken place in Sonorama Ribera in its long quarter-century of history.
