Wonderful concert last night at the Bengal Pasaje America. The Bengal are one of the emerging landscape rockero Mexico: first record sold a lot and listened, some video already shot, various concerts throughout Mexico and even in San Francisco, California gringa. And just last night they played the last concert before preparing their second album, due out in September. A style rocker rather simple, energetic, or emotional, or rhythm, or balanced, or a little 'all. Like these parts. And me too. Yesterday they filled the Pasaje America (an unfortunate name, but the visceral anti-gringhismo You are always in vogue), with most of the public who accompanied the singer's voice at the time of the best-known songs: Miente , Carretera , Mensaje. Great concert. Great Bengal. And great Marcos. Not sub , but the drummer. Who never forgets to put his friend Hector on the guest list.
Even when the music you like you submerge your ears, something that leaves a bit 'mind-boggling. The local rockers the Mexican city are definitely chiccosi. Here we use the word cutter , literally "strawberries," but is much more used to the semantic field of fighetteria that the fruits of the season. And it is much more visible and pronounced, even compared to "our" contexts, the social divide between who's in and who's out there in the streets in the city. Visible and marked by the price of beer, look trivial aesthetic. But sometimes the gap, the difference can be seen even in skin color. It 's true, it seems incredible that the people perhaps more mestizo the world, 490 years after the rash arrival of Cortes, there are still rooms that are populated by almost all-white. Fortunately it is not the case with the Pasaje America: yes, it's a bit ' cutter, the cerveza does a bang, but a little' social variety of there, just like out in the streets, in the DF, in Mexico.
But it is not, for example, Bulldog : other local rocker, where Bengal have played a month ago (and was also there, again thanks to the good Marquitos inviting me). An awesome site, in the most negative and derogatory that exists: the usual single entry, without concert, costs 200 or 300 pesos, that is 12 or 18 €. It would be a huge amount even in Turin movida , imagine here, where the average wage is less than half of the Italian. And inside, only Hueros , white and white, all and all tiratissimi sciantosissimi and strategic, of course. As we were in Ibiza or Rimini. Even in these things you see in this country who still have income, status, prestige, power. Since the time when King had just been defeated Cuauhtemoc. I say, "non-whites" are there. But only to work. Waiter or bouncer. And the place is III & IV, but there is so much security staff that seems to match the number who are only there to dance (or bust).
There was a lot of feeling out of place that evening, there were the Bengal. Then they felt out of place even to them, having Scazzi with types of local just before the concert, they played a short hour, the buldoggari at some point have cut the audio. Last night, fortunately, we have heard until the end. Some videos of Bengal
