The title was Travis Scott, but the best concert of the second night of the Super Bock Super Rock Festival was by Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals. Well-oiled funk machine, now precursor of the best R & B of the moment, now appeased to play his soul-jazz, now explosive and close to hip hop, the 32-year-old singer and drummer has always been impeccable, made Altice Arena a great ballroom and gave a memorable concert. So memorable, it was one of the best of the last years at the festival. Excluding the nostalgic evocations of the past (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blur, Eddie Vedder, Iggy Pop), only the performance of Kendrick Lamar in 2016 rivals that of Anderson .Paak this Friday.
This was the second time that Anderson .Paak was performing at Arena Altice. The first was in April last year when .Paak did the opening concert for Bruno Mars in the Lisbon Hall.
There are however some differences: where Bruno Mars is a classicist, Anderson, Paak is futuristic. If the former fits like no other groove from soul and funk from the past to modern times, the musician who played this Friday in Super Bock Super Rock appropriates these genres for create a new formula, where she adapts the best new dance music (there are themes that evoke a certain Daft Punkism ), hip hop, the new R & B, the auto-dance tune used with a surprisingly good taste and a catrefada of new sound solutions. Less on the pop song, this formula allows long instrumental journeys, with a band of virtuoso musicians on the guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and mixer released moorings.
During the concert, which lasted about an hour and a quarter minutes, Anderson Paak always had the audience in hand, dancing and jumping with him, even doing mosh at his request. "Open the pit," he says at one point, with an additional suggestion: "Watch out for the ladies, protect your friends and girlfriends."
When "Come Down" opened the concert, the audience let go and he was dancing as though he had always been waiting for that rhythmic injection and those verses sung in a hard-to-find voice of kinship: "Now , drink all my liquor, go / What have I asked myself to do now? . When Paa asked "they are not tired, are they?" And warned that there was a song that was asking for "energy", there was nothing to predict the jumps and the euphoria with which it was received "Bubblin", new of musician, who prepares the successor of his acclaimed second album Malibu .
Throughout the concert, the musician repeatedly "Yes Lawd" to the public. Anderson is also euphoric. An expression that is dear to him, so much so that named the record that he published two years ago with the musical producer Knxwledge. Always with a tearful smile and an annoying child pose who just wants to have fun, Paak gave a "thank you", traveled between the front of the stage and the drums, perfectly accompanied the band with their songs and baguettes jams and let the talented keyboardist Ron Tnava Before shine in a moment when he played and sang with a self-tuning that gave a pleasant cosmic tone to the musical journey.
Even more impressive Anderson, Paak and his orchestra accelerated and slowed intermittently, always with great care, through the delicate funk journey of "Sweet Gidget", through the groove of "Heart Do not Stand". a Chance ", for jazz and R & B of" The Bird "and for the explosion of" Am I Wrong? "
He poured everything into musicians and the public to sing" I think I like you "(from the song" Luh You ") to a voice. that Super Rock Super Bock attended the concert of one of the best musicians and one of the best bands to appear in recent years in the United States, precisely at the relatively popular phenomenon stage, Anderson .Paak promises to become the pop star of the pasta.It was enough that the next record reproduces the formula of the precedent and the chances would be great, but the single "Bubblin" suggests a direction as unpredictable as grandiose.From now, the party can take on overwhelming proportions, but judging by the smiles and complicity of Anderson, Paak with his Free Nationals, everything is fine here, there is nothing that causes headaches when there is still songs to make the world dance.
Sounds of D & # 3 9, explosions, smoke of abundance, flames on stage, a large scene of lights and a very very loud volume. So it was the Travis Scott gig at Super Rock Super Bock. The 26-year-old Texan rapper was leading the festival's "hip-hop day" and completely met the expectations of the thousands of young people who listened to him Friday at the Altice Arena. The greatest proof of this was the reaction of the public. From the audience to the sitting benches, where almost everyone got up and jumped and danced, Travis Scott's hedonistic and aggressive trap infected almost everyone. It was remarkable that despite the enthusiasm that had been seen in previous concerts, it was even through him that most were there. Good or Bad
It is true that Travis Scott is not consensual. Of all the hip-hop titles that the festival has had, in fact, only Kendrick Lamar is minimally, the result of mixing a modern sound with a careful writing.
With confidence, the rapper began the concert with an unpublished song, "Stargazing, only played at concerts and will be included on their next album. Astroworld will be the rapper's third solo album: "It will be released soon," Travis Scott told the Portuguese audience on Friday, which equates to saying that it only required two albums, Rodeo and Birds in the Sing McKnight trap to which add two mixtapes and an album in partnership with Quavo, rapper of the group Migos, to be headliner in the nominated European festivals.
The style is energetic. , or rather, always scream with a lot of self-agreement (a tool that enhances the voice, making it more "electronic"), as it does when recording songs for the records, Travis Scott was missing only guitars to be punk After all, the volume of the voice and instrumental beats emitted by a DJ was so loud that for some it was boring. "I thought this was not the case," said the Observer at the exit of one of the few unhappy
sounding sound and explosions attached to the posture of Travis Scott, who jumped during the whole concert, was shouting together on a platform placed almost halfway through the audience and seemed to have undeniable stacks. He said at the beginning of the concert, "Let's be a little crazy tonight." So it's with the biggest hits of the rapper that the smallest concert of the night was sent urgently to punk.
The words and the message are of little importance, which matters, it is the intensity of the songs that defibrillator. a youth eager to dance. "Beatitudes", "Goosebumps", "Sky Walker", "Company", "Beibs in the Trap" and a new version of "Love Galore" were among the most famous themes. Although the audience has embraced Texan music, there is again the impression that this trap music style, with pre-recorded and other live sung excerpts, is better heard in a nightclub than in a concert
Oddisee, name of the scene of Amir Mohamed El Khalifa, was in Portugal last November for the Vodafone Mexefest (that this year we call Super Bock in stock), in Lisbon, but the concert in this Super Bock Super Rock was very different. At the end of last year, Oddisee went alone to Lisbon without the company of his group. This Friday, however, was attended by the Good Compny, the "good company" capable of raising their performance to another level. Mixing genres like funk, R & B and jazz, Good Compny complements Oddisee to perfection – also a kind of hybrid in these hip hop things –
For all who have seen the rapper and producer , born in Washington DC, last year, you would not have had a hard time noticing the lack they 've made. But the performance was lukewarm (but with plenty of stage racing) – Oddisee did not impress on stage and Good Compny's funk often recalled American talk shows . We were expecting more from someone who has received so much praise since the release of the latest album, The Iceberg in 2017. However, the concert did not even warm up for the rest of the day.
Princess Nokia came next. Described as one of the most promising names in global hip hop, Nokia (pseudonym of Puerto Rican Destiny artist Nicole Frasqueria) was one of the most anticipated names of the second day of Super Bock Super Rock – several viewers admitted to the Observer. With a troubled history (the artist lost her mother while she was only ten years old and spent her childhood in foster homes), Nokia began making rhymes at the age of 16 years old. He released the first song in 2012, the first album in 2014 and the last – the only one with the label of a label – in 2017.
C & # 39; is with that, 1992 Deluxe which has achieved a real success, not only with a talented rapper, but also as a cause artist. And that 's how it happened on stage this Friday: no potatoes on his tongue, as he was at home. During the concert on EDP Stage, the princess Nokia asks for grass, asks for beer, mingles with the public and distributes kisses and cuddles as if she were between friends. He danced, jumped, rhymed, and told fans that he loved them. But the abuses have led Nokia, a feminist and activist, to demand respect and remind them that there are limits: "I'll say it in English, agree? I like to be with the fans, I like to be with you, but do not catch me, agree? I have respect for you, so respect me. "
Tom Misch has had the misfortune to start the concert when Andersen .Paak was still playing with The Free Nationals on the main stage of Super Bock Super Rock. The Californian began to act at 22h and 22h50 under the shovel of Siza Vieira, things have not yet warmed up. Fortunately for the British, things changed as the show progressed. Even though he was not one of the big names of Friday 's poster and that his relationship with hip – hop was only subtle, Misch' s only thing was that he was not a big hit. was not disappointed and managed to keep the crowd energetic and dancing until the end.
Misch came on the guitar, but he did not miss a violin on stage – perhaps to remind us that it was precisely how, at the age of four, the Britons started in the world of music, which did not give up. After a long instrumental introduction only, Tom Misch and his group progressed in the alignment of the themes "Colors of Freedom", "I Wish" and "It Runs Through Me", the latter of the first album ( 2018), which received good reviews and played a large part of the concert on Friday. "South of the River", another song from Geography put the audience to sing, but it's "Crazy Dream" which got the biggest ovation of the night.
Already in the last part of the concert, sharing with the audience some of the influences that shape him as a musician and make his sound so distinctive – Stevie Wonder, with an instrumental version of "Is not She Lovely", and J Dilla with a " medley of hip hop oldschool ". In the middle of a cloud of smoke and with the violin on stage again, Tom Misch said goodbye to the Portuguese with a "thanks" and "Watch Me Dance" theme of 2017.
This Friday, at through the stages of the Super Bock Super Rock, Olivier St. Louis, Virtus, Luis Severo, Ermo, Pierre Kwenders, the prestigious American producer and hip-hop The Alchemist and the Portuguese rapper ProfJam , which gathered a lot of people at 18h on EDP. The Telheiras rapper's concert, accompanied by a drummer and a DJ and rapper Mike El Nite at the mixing desk, began with some technical problems, resulting in a first break of a few minutes. Yet ProfJam (who actually calls himself Mário Cotrim) has put a lot of young people to dance, especially at the sound of the trap of their latest singles "Gwapo" (with Yuzi invited to go on stage) and " "
