Sly Johnson in concert in Madrid (Sala Neu! Club, 03.05.2011): A spectacular evening of black music

After spending one season removed from going to concerts, a direct encounter like Sly Johnson in the courtroom yesterday Neu! Club in Madrid is to thank mishaps surfaced that he had not avoided. A concert that I did not expect to walk out the door thinking about how big the black French girl of 37 years on stage.

The concert began with the intensity of Funk, fast pace thanks to 'Sexy' and a band called the 74er's accompanying him not to leave him alone in the adventure, although at the end of the night showed that not suffer from any bad stage. The band consists of Manu Dyens (drums), Ben Molinaro (bass), Ed Ardan (guitar), Jean-Max Mery (keyboards) and Valerie Delgado (vocals) lashed out at times to a more relaxed style quite like a jazzy drums while in other parts of the egg fried riffs Funk competed with a keyboard dances and accompanying voice great bell.

But the star of the night was Sly Johnson. At times one could listen to someone who had learned well how to follow the trail of Al Green at his most vivid combined with more sex and others plan preacher, moments in which a certain Curtis Mayfield competed with other black sponge called Prince , memories of Marvin Gaye with a version of 'What's Going On' pride and flare omnipresent in "the hardest-working man in show business" title stripped for a few seconds to James Brown in crackdowns most harrowing in the voice or take their ease with the public under his arm.

In the repertoire until the encore was stirring ballads like "I'm Calling You 'busiest themed as" Do not Justify Yourself' or allegations as "Do not Stop The Dance ', not forgetting the rock riffs of' Hey Mama. " A music concert Black revitalize the classics in a loud voice and exquisite taste to address avoiding chustero Soul R & B today.

So there had been a great concert but I would not have stunned both out the door. Sly Johnson - Beatbox live at Sala Neu! Club - Madrid (YouTube) With the arrival of the encore is when Sly Johnson left us with his mouth open to the public that almost filled the room Neu! Club (another surprise, large capacity).

The man had only to a synth with which to make music was playing. No band, just him, his voice and a microphone, as well as the recording function of the machine with which he was improvising the construction of several topics that incredible mix of beatbox lessons (he has experience in the French group Saïan Supa Crew) interaction with the public who asked for three names of people who later built the track.

Sly Johnson Embroidered night thanks to a great power in his voice, the extensive records available to the mastery of tempo with or without a band, improvisation and play with the public, among other positive notes. Before closing again reminded to Otis Redding's version of 'Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song) "and played' Nina's Dream ', a song with Eric Truffaz has been included in the soundtrack of the film 'Black Swan'.
