The show took place at Morumbi Stadium this Sunday
Music has an extraordinary power to connect. In addition to preferences in musical styles, the lyrics sung by an artist can provoke a strong identification with the listener, automatically creating a bond. It can wear out over time, that’s true. But once an emotion is generated, it will always come back to the surface when you listen to the song again.
With RBD, the Mexican group from 2005, is like this. There is nothing extraordinary about the chords of his songs, the vocal ability or his lyrics. But there is something exceptional about the way they manage to captivate their fans.
After 18 years at the height of their fame, the group managed to fill eight Brazilian stadiums, with the “Soya Rebellion Tour”. And it took each of their fans back to the time when they listened to the band on MP3 or discman during recess and dreamed of seeing them live.
“We want to celebrate all the inner children who are here today to make this dream come true. Thank you for coming today, for believing in us until today. This is our greatest gift,” he said Anahi Portilla.
They opened the show with “Behind me” AND “A little of your love”both in 2005, followed by ““Cerquita de Ti”of 2023. To follow this pattern of mixing the most nostalgic songs with the most modern ones, they created medleys, so that at least one song from the band’s six albums was played.
When they weren’t singing, the band took the opportunity to do guitar and drum solos, while the members changed their costumes – there were at least ten different looks for the 2:30 show; most with references to the country. In one of the breaks, “Mas Que Nada”, by Sérgio Mendes, was remembered.
Just like the 25+ fans who watched every part of the show with a feeling of nostalgia, the group also made a point of mentioning that feeling.
“They say that a person always returns to the place where he was happy, that’s why we returned to Brazil,” he said Sweet Mary. Already Maite Perroni he thanked him several times for the unconditional support of his fans. “You made me feel at home when I felt alone 18 years ago, you made me believe in myself when I didn’t believe in myself.”
In this climate, one of the most exciting moments of the evening was the moment Cristiano Chavez, after a video in which he talked about the importance of being who you are, he talked about his sexual orientation. “Today I can go back to 40 and be myself. I’m finally myself. And you have to be yourself, that’s the most important message,” she said.
The drama, present in the origins of the band which, after all, emerged within the soap opera Rebelsit was due to the very performative dances of the dancers and the visual effects on the screen, which inserted bursts of brightness and visual effects into the footage.
In addition to recovering some images of the soap opera broadcast on the screen after the group’s classic song: “Rebel”. The stadium lights went out and the fans who had kept their red ties for so long had to prepare to put them away again. Once again, for who knows how long.
Just like at the Rio de Janeiro shows, fans of St. Paul they were scared of robberies. At least three times people were seen shouting “arradura” and running for cover. However, in them all the police and event organizers claimed that it was “The Turnip”, a nickname given to inspectors who seize goods from unlicensed street vendors.
