Coachella closes its first weekend with the help of a universal musical landfill in the local level: from the country Post Malone to Junior H Runs | Culture

Coachella, unhappy, cruel, tiring, is a monster that cannot be viewed straight ahead. The numbers speak alone, but, as a good mathematics, they are cold. There are almost 170 concerts, more than 120,000 participantsAlmost three square kilometers of space and eight scenarios, which, within two weekends in a row (with the same poster of the first and second), they gather together in the California desert, in India, in which this is the largest and most famous festival on the planet, the epicenter of musical novelty, the headquarters of famous individuals and posture. This Sunday closed its doors – until the next weekend – demonstrating why it was transformed into the King of the desert: because he knows how to relate to as universal and put tens of thousands of people, as well as hyperphan music, but also other local, regional, niche and widespread and raising them.

This happened with the last guest of the event, Post Malone. After the apotheosis of Lady Gaga on Friday And after Travis Scott – with a cautious audience – on Saturday, a 29 -year -old resident of New York was responsible for closing on Sunday evening. With a large base of fans, although not so much influence outside the United States, he is a master of mixtures in his music, with dozens of cooperation in his curriculum (from Taylor Swift to The Weeknd, Blake Shelton or Morgan Vallen), as well as in styles. The latter that concerns your album F-1 trillion This is the country, the most purely American. On the main stage, he rushed with him, mixing him with a pop music with rapp, almost anything. His emotions for the fact that he was the head of the poster, although he acted earlier in Coachelle, forced him to arrange one of the strongest show of the festival.

This is Malone, so American It even amazes the candles on July 4. He did this when he appeared, saying that he was 30 years old (another 29, he discovered later), and thanking the audience what he did with a lot of again and again, at the end of each song. On the platform where he did not take a single guest, he drank, smoked several cigars, he jumped, spat, walked, left on another scene in the middle of the highway and even left to welcome the audience. He sang until he burst into a beautiful scenario of huge changing screens, sometimes deserts, sometimes a city landscape, such as his styles, like his music. “They called me One hit miracle And these shit, ”he recalls, among the applause of those followers who today give him 65 million listeners per month, which makes him one of the 20 main artists Spotify.” But if you do not believe in you, no one will be. If you have a passion, continue to do it, no one tells you how you should do it. “

Malone preceded him The same is the giant half of Megan, a resident “The fact that he invited the Queen Latif to act as a more wonderful fact of the evening,” and first, he took advantage of the pink sunset in the desert, the Mexican junior H. He was the only Latin who entered the main stage in three days and filled his performance “Life” in Mexico. A large group with more than twenty musicians and Tito Double P and One of the last year’s stars, the weight of the handle, They finished sanctify it. Antonio Errera Perez, his present name, which at the entire festival found a response in the festival, showed that the Mexican region already has little regional, and that they jump in the northern neighbor and with it in the rest of the world. He allowed him to see his colleagues El Malilla the day before, to whom the sound script was small, with long lines. He did not stop talking in Spanish with the public, which chanted and shouted his songs. “If you found a beautiful Mexican, what would you do?” Another musician asked on stage. “Ask the documents!” He answered among the laughter of the public. If it is true that President Trump has Narcocorridos singers in the spotlight to consider their visas, no one seemed to be afraid for it.

The Latin performance at the festival was small, but powerful. Those who had the best holes from the poster were the younger H on Sunday, Raviana Malilla and Venezuelans on Saturday, who arranged a tropical party in the desert, taking many guests, including Danny Ocean – and Argentines Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso, which doubled on Saturday Gustavo Dudamel, sings a couple of songs with Philharmonic Los -Andheles. Like them, he showed his roots and turned a local resident in the universal La Gaditana Judeline, 22, accompanied by Castaonulas. There, instead of Mexico, he went to the sherry “alive”. But, as she herself found out in a conversation with the country, in such quotes, in the end, the most interesting thing is not to play for those who already know you, but in order to do this for the new audience, especially Americans, in this case, which dares to explore the genres and languages ​​that go beyond the same.

On Sunday, Madrid Dennis Cruz showed that arrival from a place with a powerful musical component does not mean that they take him out on stage. He makes a much less rooted and more global type of music: he puts the world to dance. He DJ 42 -year -sold in -Spanish and almost 25 quarries, filled with more than 5,000 people on the stage of Home, and at the same time as a pot. A few minutes before his caravan, smiling and with a zero dose of nervousness, he explained to this newspaper that Coachella is a particularly important square: “It is really difficult to be here.” He had already touched two years ago, and this Sunday he made a session for him, briefly, an hour and a half (he remembers that in the New Year he did 12 hours), but he is preparing with a simple selection of more than 100 songs with which he plays in accordance with the environment. In addition, Cruise is clear that the production of the event has extraordinary quality; When they commented on the team, this is probably one of the best rooms in the world.

It was the perfect day for the session, which filled the room, with its half a dozen giant balls hung, accompanied by a large shark lined with mirrors. On Sunday, from a half hundred concerts, outside the heads of the poster there were hardly groups or soloists who collect the masses. Consequently, the public decided to try other scenarios, launch with DJs or make long lines in the stands of many firms, alcohol, cosmetics or soft drinks, they gave merchandisingIt also weakened the heat with a field, and 35ºC from the central clock was not more than 42º in the first day. But without large attractions, it was an perfect day to try new genres, to pamper new artists and discover the songs of those who remain in the head in the coming weeks. Or at least a few days, until Coachella again opens its doors, next Friday, loaded with dust and jeans.
