Hi there
Blogheads:) Today you have to write a 250 word post. Don't forget to comment
on my blog and on the blogs of at least 3 classmates! Here’s mineSo, a couple of weeks ago
I went to Blondie. Although I like to listen to some of the music they usually
play there, it's not the music I like to dance to - I prefer to dance to
House, Soul or Reggae or Drum & Bass even Salsa or Cumbia but not rock
music. This time I went to Blondie because I went to see a group called
CocoRosie. It was a great gig, quite strange and whacky but very enjoyable.
CocoRosie is two sisters, a pianist/keyboard player and a human beatbox. The
sound is quite original as the band mix different styles such as electronic,
folk and hip-hop. There were elements of performance to the show. The band
swapped instruments and clothes. They also painted each other’s faces while
they were performing. Original the concert was going to be in Subterraneo in
Providencia but I think they sold too many tickets and had to switch the
concert to a bigger venue. Blondie was a good place to see this band. There
can't have been more that 1,000 people and there were only about 600 when the
show started. The sound was good. In fact, I enjoyed CocoRosie more live than
the recorded tracks I've heard. The personalities and energy of the 2 singers
is an important part of their charm and it's hard to feel this from their
recordings.
It is
important to mention I was introduced to this band thanks to a student whom I
saw at the XX concert. Then, he mentioned these guys and I liked the sound.
Here's a link to one of their songs.
