The recital of my life ❤️ The first and most exciting. 🎶
Music is always present in my life. Although I don't like to dance, music is present in every moment, when I design, when I write, on my walks, everywhere.
I don't like all the songs of all the authors and groups. Generally I like one song from one singer, another from another and so on.
But there are exceptions to that rule and among them one of my favourite artists is Chayanne. I could never go to one of his concerts, mostly because of financial reasons.
But if I have to name a group whose songs I like, one of those groups is La Oreja de Van Gogh.
I started listening to them when their previous vocalist Amaia Montero was still around. I always listened to their songs, every album, every lyric, every melody and I knew them all by heart.
Then the vocalist changed, Leire Martínez, and I liked the band even more. Although I'm sure many will like the previous singer.
In my case I loved the voice of this new woman and their new albums as well.

The thing is that I got the news that they would be touring in Argentina. It was 2014. And I also knew that one of the places where they would be singing would be in my city Bahía Blanca.
I had never been able to go to a concert before and I was really looking forward to this one. I saved the necessary money. But not only to attend myself, but also to invite my mother, who also loves the band.
The show would be in May 2014 and I was super excited. It would take place at the Don Bosco Theatre in the city.
I bought both tickets, but the ones for the cheapest seats. I didn't care about that, I just wanted to be there and listen to them. My illusion was enormous, I counted the days for the event.

The day came, it was winter and it was freezing outside. My mother and I stood in a long queue waiting to get in.
But we noticed that there was a lot of security, more than expected for these events. Police everywhere with long guns and shields.
We realised that something was not right. The problem would be that those of us who had tickets for the front box area could not get in, as the inspection of the place was not regular and the theatre was forbidden to let people in.
There were protests, very loud demonstrations from all the people who were left out of the show.
Such was the noise and protest of all of us who were there that it was heard inside the theatre, where the rest of the people were already seated to see the concert begin.
The manager of the band La Oreja de Van Gogh heard the cries of the people and came to see what was going on. He was the one who asked us what we wanted to do, if we wanted the event to be cancelled.
It wasn't fair what was happening, so the concert was cancelled and I was very sad.
They promised to come back, but I didn't know if it would come true. Also, it took a lot of effort to get the theatre to refund the tickets. But after much complaining they did.

To my pleasant surprise, after a few months I received the news of the new performance: it would be on 24 November of the same year.
But in a sports club, the Club Estudiantes. Imagine my joy, it was enormous.
I bought the tickets again, this time a little better than the previous ones, and the whole event went off without a hitch.
I assure you that I remember that day at that moment with great emotion: The first recital of my life and so far the only one, but it was so exciting that I will never forget it.
When I was looking through my records I realised that I had mostly videos that I had filmed with the phone I had at the time. They are not great footage, mainly because I zoomed in to focus better and I had little idea of filming.
I never thought I would share this with anyone, these memories to this day were only for me. But I decided to share them with all of you.

I managed to salvage bits and pieces of this footage as some of it was damaged. It's been 10 years since that day and I can't believe it... 10 years!
I didn't take many pictures either, I think I was too excited and forgot a lot of things that day, I just lived the moment. And it was for me one of the most important.
At that moment I only had eyes and ears for them and I enjoyed it to the fullest. I was very happy that day, very happy.
And today I come to share that special day with all of you.
A big hug and see you next time.
Amonet.

Thank you!!!
Hi @avdesign, thanks for sharing, I know how important music is for you. Besides, I already know you a bit more (although it was expected that you liked La Oreja de Van Gogh). The sound of the video is not good, but it captures very well the good atmosphere of the concert and the complicity between the audience and the band, and it's accompanied by a very good text. I think they are on tour, see if you can go to a concert again. A hug
I love that band, the lyrics, the tone, everything! the footage is 10 years old and I didn't have a good phone, plus a lot of it got damaged. Something remained and I'm happy to bring that little bit here. Thank you very much @enraizar 😃
On August 9th they play in Alicante, you're not far away. Have a nice evening @avdesing
Conciertos
Thank you! I can't travel at the moment but I know it will happen soon. Thank you!🤗
🤗

I can imagine your excitement of being able to go to a concert for the first time and of one of your favorite bands, with some mishaps that can happen, unfortunate, but in the end the possibility was given.
I like some songs of this band, with Amaia, not because one is better than the other, but for sentimentality 😂 I grew up listening to her haha but this woman does great ❤️
Congratulations for being able to attend, 10 years, how crazy! 🦉
The emotion was enormous, I remember it as if it were today, yes there were some lapses and you have no idea what it was like that night, but in the end I was able to see them. I still dream of seeing Chayanne!!!!😍
Thank you so much @tahastories1 ✨
Hola 99 como estas? Yo poco de desear cosas, no siento envidia por nada gracias a Dios, me alegro mucho cuando las personas son felices, pero te cuento que veo este concierto tan maravilloso y me gustaría estar presente, me belleza!
La verdad es que fue muy emocionante para mi, una gran ilusión y fui muy feliz. Muchas gracias Miguel!🤗
Que bueno que lograste ver y compartir ese tremendo concierto, una agrupación excelente con un mal nombre jajajaja pero agrupación musical súper genial
No te gusta Van Gogh? jajajaja sólo estaba un poco loco, pero yo también lo estoy
Si me gusta, como que no, si es un genio, el nombre del grupo es el ordinario (las orejas van Gogh)
Tiene su historia eso, la buscaste?
No
Busca la historia!
La historia de van Gogh la conozco, el por qué la agrupación se llama así es la que desconozco
Ahhh eso... habrá que averiguarla. Pero acá ya son las 00:33... a descansar! Abrazo!
Si lo sé, Feliz descanso. Que sueñes con las pinturas más hermosas y que el arte te cobije.
Gracias Miguel!!😃
What beautiful memories you have @avdesing about this musical event, what a shame everything you went through to be able to see them
The good thing is that I saw them and I was super happy! Thank you @miprimerconcurso ❤️
Me gustaban de adolescente algunas canciones de la oreja de van goh y una same aquí....como cántabras por eso esperaba con la carita empapada que llegaras con rosas un clásico. Que bello recital 💕💕
Me las se todas y me encanta! Sobre todo con la nueva cantante, su voz.. bueno, la otra chica también, dejémoslo en que las dos son buenas jaja
Hello dear friend @avdesing good afternoon
What good news that the band would play in Bahia, but what a pity what happened in the first presentation, the good thing is that the theater finally refunded the tickets, and best of all, that in the end you were able to enjoy the good music of the band
Have a beautiful afternoon
Despite what happened, I really enjoyed the second time, one of the coolest experiences of my life! Thank you!😃
I can imagine from these pictures how much you enjoyed the concert
Very much so, it was an amazing day!😃
Tenía mucho que no sabía de esta agrupación. Tengo mucho que no voy a este tipo de eventos. En mi época de juventud disfruté ir a varios.
Como época de juventud, sos super joven!!! Un niño!
Hasta ahora fue mi único evento, hoy disfruto más de la naturaleza, la prefiero.
