Facundo Llano November 24, 2013 SHOWS
Cat Stevens: Delicate Sound of Thunder


Cat Stevens first set foot on Argentine soil with a show that paced all these emotional states on Saturday at Luna Park.

Arriving at Luna Park concert Cat stevens (now Yusuf Islam), one could assume that 100% of the public would be couples who now exceed forty; any, but there are also a lot of young, almost teenagers .

Cat Stevens in a rare bug in the music industry. Definitely was very successful, but never reached rocker status and prestige as many of his contemporaries pairs: Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young. Never flirted with rock, yet hundreds genre artists have interpreted his songs, from Rod Stewart to 10,000 Maniacs to cases like Mr Big and local Fossil Remains.

By the late 70s, Steve Adams, as contained in its document, withdrew from the world of music, was converted to Islam and started a charity around the world. But his songs were not killed, they continued playing on the nostalgic radios almost nameless; those eternal themes that are sometimes not own Cat Stevens was never cool, never was adored by journalists, never had space in the media and if today reaches. here to play in a place like Luna Park, was by word of mouth and through their generation after generation discs.

Perhaps the best thing about the show is its start with "Moonshadow", a song about children, sung by this man of 65 who has lost none of his warm voice. Maybe retirement and not having spent his vocal cords caused for so many years has aged so enviable. Far from preaching or religious peace and love, Yusuf is a wanderer, a "Roadsinger", as stated in its latest board. A man talks about life in his songs: "Where do the children play?", "The Wind", "Sad Lisa". Love, Grow, disappointments, the journey, all that is to form a human being.

Far from nostalgia, and although it is the first visit, most of the repertoire is made ​​up of new songs "Midday", "You can do whatever" or "Maybe there's a world" that mixed with "All You need is love "by the Beatles, which the audience takes with respect and coolness at the same time. Maybe they have not heard the new songs until tonight, but these songs have such quality as classic and more than one pass the next day discovering these new discs. The absence of strong classics makes these explode in the presence of some as "Oh Very Young", "Father & Son" or "Wild World". But most of the time, when it comes to old songs, the musician prefers re interpret them, give them new life. "I love my dog", "The first cut is the deepest" and "Bitterblue" are those that receive more updates. Others, such as "Morning Has broken" are so delicate that they must be respected the original structure.

Yusuf is a friendly, warm man who can transform an audience in a living room, laughing and telling stories about his eternal journey, even joking about his success and how many will be stolen without the endorsement. A man in constant struggle for world peace and his. He is a man who has made a difference in the world, but mostly in the grandparents, parents and children-all together, as in the highlights, which are now in the room.

Cat Stevens or Yusuf Islam, gave a delightful recital before a full Moon Park.

Time passed but the voice remains the same. It is warm, friendly, friend. Cat Stevens or Yusuf Islam, know all you have to do to excite your audience, to invite them on a journey of calm waters and beautiful scenery: being himself. It has the virtue of singing for thousands but do feel that actually makes each ear, as if next. In a magical night at Luna Park, the British artist gave a concert and well made sense in the context of a South American tour which passed in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and will end in Santiago de Chile.

For the vast majority of the public who filled the Luna Park, Cat Stevens Cat Stevens only. Many do not know of his conversion to Islam in the late 70s, shortly after being on the verge of death after contracting a complicated tuberculosis ("In the middle of the twentieth century, to me strikes me a medieval disease," said the time). Or just not interested. Yusuf, another artist, it was like a stranger to a group of people who went to get the big hits that used to listen to on vinyl. In that sense, Cat Stevens did not fail.

Neat and tidy with a band that was not anything left over, Yusuf offered a simple, effective and emotional show. Although some songs have some variations that work perfectly, the concert is aimed at the audience feel empathy with the protagonist only. It is clear that in many of the songs much more than him, his voice and guitar or piano is required.

Starts with Moonshadow and gives first nod. The voice is intact, charisma shines. With good lighting and sound properly managed, the viewer may feel at times as if walking in the clouds, as if flying. Yusuf, 65, transmitting peace and harmony. Do not miss any classic (except Hard Headed Woman) with Father and are and Wild Word, his two big hits, the audience excited and pays homage to the artist (and records, of course, with hundreds of phones that light up the stage and break atmosphere).

There will be time also to another Cat Stevens. Although almost no one seems to know the other side, the reality is that the songs presented as "new" are as good as the old themes (actually, the two discs as Yusuf, and Roadsinger An other cup, excellent). Maybe the melancholy sounds There'sa world and Roadsinger autobiographical ("Roadsinger rode on, to another land, Though the people spoke a different tongue, They'd understand, They Showed him how to share and took him by the hand, Showed him the path to heaven, Through the desert sand "). In both flies high.

The final applause is long and meaningless. The answer is simple. As the great artists, Yusuf gives back to demagoguery. No shirts Argentina nor mentions how cute is Buenos Aires. Look to the public, thanks, raises his arms and leaves. It has the simplicity its great virtue. Music, accurate and warm touched my heart. The public seems to retire in peace. Like Cat Stevens still continue singing to each. It's a feeling that it will.
