The house of Slow J keeps growing. The aftermath of a dedication to Super Bock Super Rock – Observer

In the preview of the concert, we wrote that he would answer a question: "Did Slow J enter the first division of national music?" The mission was completed and the entrance broke. A debut with little audience in Super Rock Super Bock, fears a memorable little night for the young rapper, Portuguese musician and singer, but the rise of the public in a few minutes and a high-level performance, in a show prepared at retail , play.

It all started with "Art", a theme that also opens the first Slow J album, The Art of Slowing Down released in the past year. After a long instrumental introduction of Fred Ferreira on drums and Francis Dale on keyboards – musicians who gave many proofs of virtuosity throughout the concert – Slow J (João Batista Coelho) played the role of frontman of rock band and, in white T-shirt and jeans, sung, shot by voice, makes anticipate a good night. "Fod * -If Super Bock finally! How are you guys?" He shot, after the first song, presented (like almost all of the following) in a different version than the one in the album.

Already without the guitar in his arms, Slow J advanced to a new version of "House", celebration of lusophonie ("The house everywhere can enter that is / is mixed, the house is the whole world") which, in Super Bock Super Rock, began a capella . The standing audience began to compose (the stands still took a few minutes to complete) and Slow J called the first guest on stage: the rapper Nerve, who participates in the theme "Sometimes."

At that time, the concert was in progress. Slow J surprised the audience with new sounds prepared for their older songs (some are only a year old, but the growth of the musician and all that he has released later shows that a year can be long ) and continues with the rhymes of "Food", Already spoken to the public. Rhymes that prove that Slow J is not only a rapper and wants to appear in the most generic field of "Portuguese music" (he has more rock songs, delicate ballads, chubby chorus). It feels like a fish in the water making worms in the mic, with breath and breath controlled.

"I want you to feel at home today," enthused the musician. An enthusiasm to which Slow J responded with a "Biza" presented in a different format, with Francis Dale's keyboard replacing the saxophone which is heard in the disc version and with this to give a real show in a Jam Two with the drummer. With a torn smile, the musician asked, "Turn on the lights, let me see these people." Turns on, immediate reaction: "F * d … It's a pleasure to be here today with you. Thank you for coming."

Up to now, the concert deserved a "good". More mature, better directed the show, also by the musical growth that had the trio that led him last year (the chemistry between drummer, teclista and singer / rapper / guitarist is much more notorious today), Slow J filled the promised. But news about the performance of the previous year was still coming. The first was "Water", a hit that he recently recorded with Richie Campbell. Campbell went on stage and the crowd sang the theme to weight. The second novelty appeared soon after, with one guest more, the most unexpected.

The moment, he soon realized, was important. "Today, I'm going to make a dream come true, Super Bock, that does not bother you, is it?" To the rhetorical question, a revelation was also announced a few weeks ago at Rock in Rio by Pacman: "I was able to make a song for Carlão's album." The former Da Weasel member who appeared on stage last Friday introduced the new theme (a rap-rock who adapts to modern times the best stage of the "ferret"), called the youngest "Slow motherfucking J" "And said that he was" very happy "to be there on his birthday, "to do something that I love with such a talented tuga guy", with whom he liked to collaborate.
