Soda Stereo came back to Costa Rica and Parque Viva sang with Cerati
On the Ecos tour, Zeta Bosio and Charly Alberti played live alongside a projection of Gustavo Cerati: nearly two hours, around 10,000 fans and a finale in the middle of the crowd.
On Wednesday, November 11, Parque Viva's Anfiteatro Imperial filled up for Ecos, the tour Soda Stereo has been taking across the continent since March. According to Tico Urbano, around 10,000 people sold out the venue: parents who grew up with the band in the eighties and kids who found it on streaming, many wearing Cerati shirts.
The show started at 8:00 p.m. Zeta Bosio on bass and Charly Alberti on drums played live behind a semi-transparent curtain that worked as a 3D screen: constellations, sound waves and, above all, Gustavo Cerati, recreated with his original voice and guitar from unreleased material and multicamera footage of the 2007 Me Verás Volver tour.
Fans got 3D glasses at the entrance and put them on for Cuando pase el temblor, Zoom and Primavera 0, when the images seemed to jump off the stage. Persiana americana and En la ciudad de la furia rang out like anthems, and the stands were full of flags, banners reading “Siempre seremos Soda” and people singing every word.
The emotional peak came with De música ligera: all of Parque Viva singing along with the Cerati projection, one of those scenes people will talk about for years. For the finale, Bosio and Alberti moved onto platforms in the middle of the crowd; Zeta threw his picks and Charly his drumsticks.
It lasted almost two hours. “It's a band that has shaped generations,” said Adrián Gutiérrez, general manager of Jogo, the promoter that brought the show together with Generation Y Entertainment. Gracias totales.
