José Magalhães Reporting (text) and Joice Fernandes (photo)
Freedom passed the Lisbon Coliseum on Saturday night. For hours thrilled a community of sergismo-godinhismo militants, with the leader on stage, a handful of sound warriors to accompany him with rock beat and the rapper Capicua flooding of hope believers . The appearance of secular mass of these meetings should surprise those who do not know Portugal. Minutes on end, the faithful remembered the songs of April 25, execraram the defunct PIDE / DGS, Zeca Afonso honored in an era in which the scarce enthusiasm for heroes and acts of heroism. Sérgio Godinho asserted itself once again as a survivor, but not selfish – a kind of representative of living and dead, whose work is revered because he knows renew itself
There is a lot that Sergio realized that it was necessary. throw out the original costume of the songs created in the years of coal, simple excess and dated. Farewell to gemidas ballads to the sound of guitar and drums, to rooms without decent sound and audiences that dispense hear (hear the recorded track in the head, a kind of playback mental supported the artist who opens and closes the mouth ). Now the dress is rock, served by a skilled and splendidly young suit. Black, ageless uniform, the survivor not very denotes the passage of time. Is with the strongest voice of one for months showed in S.Luiz. Many must have rubbed his eyes and asked what walks to take that sexagenarian ex-hippie, always interested in news from geriatrics. The phrase hit “talent is ageless” based her as a soft glove, because it all naturally, no political harangues (only a short arrows in the center of the target time to time!). Give a show named “Freedom” says it all. Making each song chosen a test of freedom is more difficult, but he pioneered the Yes You Can and continues to power.
So opened the flurry of songs with “It was after 25 days of April. ” Then came “There is only freedom seriously when / Freedom of change and decide / when belong to the people what the people produce / when belong to the people what the people produce.” We are in 2014 and the chorus shines, no need to revise the Constitution by 2/3 of Representatives (how many will be in full Colosseum?). First political speech in “mini-tweet”: “we are here to talk of Portugal ever, the future – because the have.” Only those who do not know is not anticipated that this was just a clever way to introduce references to the “Block Access” that prevent us from having the future we want tomorrow. Fits directly in the classic “was to work” that gave intense discussions among Communist militants and leftist radicals at birth. Look up the room and it is doubtful that many people remember that. It was cruel and fair picture of the life of those who work, now that the troika united in misfortune middle classes and the stair background, all of them realizing the skin the verse – Polaroid: “And at night, when I sleep / It’s like making the return journey / for another day, tomorrow more liberated / with the chains of the past / and sure in the future. / It is the work / we paid the dinner / but it was the work / we made the knife to cut it. ” Here are three important doses of democratic catechesis:
1) good advice (“Learn to swim buddy”);
2) the memory of the colonial war (Photos of Fire – a song from the album “Permanent Ink “1993 so much time and memory of brutality:” I this, I was not well I’m looking at the side had told me, eh soldier’s day burn villages and shuffles back to give what you have ideas and all! ! what burn, burn “);
3) pedagogy the discouraged:” Democracy is the worst of all systems / Aside from all other / Many countries believe / That have democracy, including, sometimes our / There is no justice without freedom / And vice versa is also true / And that’s the fight in the background / By human rights in the world).
The following is new flash return to the past mixed with the present: The Old Vampires Zeca out in very heavy rock beat, setting the pace, fado air farewell Coimbra, anguished voice rising up lonely in tension and drama. This singer seems more inspired by the activists Ocupy Wall Street or outraged the streets here and there.
“In Rua António Maria” with its playful air Zeca exorcised the name change PIDE, with nothing changing its essence and customs of thing. The youngest part of the public must have thought joke. Those who stayed still feel chills. Enter Capicua, light and indecently young. Combining Spartacus and hip hop youth? Reenacting the “Can Someone Who Is Not Being”, as Sergio was her and she Sérgio? Would not give good chemistry. Each was who and all mixed in beauty. She can stop in time the “Can someone” like a choir or an echo. It sets out the lesson of one of its most complex songs like that drink water (drank a lot of the show). “Etelvina” was applauded in delight, although many people feel sorry for this time the rock environment steal handmade tone alley of story. Ditto quotes on the latest “It has its price” (Pica again Sergio-political “freedom also has its price”). entered in earnest the most emblematic songs of Sergio path as “High Tide”, “What force is This” and other lesser-known “The Fugitive,” “Apple With Animal” on the best practices academic.
No budge when the stage was empty.
It was worth it because it was in the encores that happened the moment zen (with the “Today is the First Day”) and then the magic moment that from time to time is provided to the creators. was unexpected. I had already downloaded the saint in that Sergio began to extol the purity and cleanliness, citing Sofia and “Full and Clean Start Day”. Behold reenters Capicua and burst out rhythmically chanting the same call to purity, cleanliness and, to Ronaldo, kick immediately on goal Cry for Peace, Bread, Housing, Health, Education. The stadium stood up and was general chorus, goal in the center of the goal of democracy. It could be a rally and not fare better. Having said that Sergio went screaming: “ Life in the April 25! Zeca Afonso live! “
But it was. And here it is. Put away his hat. There are few people able to do this.
