SUMMARY: THE BEST BANDS HAVE BEEN PRESENT AT THE FESTIVAL

Nowadays, it is not easy to attract the attention of the public when many people claim that “I have already listen to this, it has already been done”. However all the musicians present at Ciudad Emergente were well received and highly applauded by the public. If we just highlight the performance of one artist per day –a whimsical and limited selection, of course- we can mention: Les Mentettes Orchestra made a brilliant pop show at the opening; Nairobi featuring Mad Professor captivated the audience –probably the largest one- with the “organic” dub and scenic movement displayed by the leader, Ivi Lee; Satan Dealers, with hard rock, encouraged one of the very few pogo dances in the Festival; FOK Electrochongo (picture), Juan Pablo Malvasio’s project (a front man who is not afraid of making the fool of himself), invited the public to join the electronic party; Los Reyes del Falsete, with a rock attitude and a pop sensitivity, were “those the record of which was been played all the time” between show and show. When they had to play, they offered a great show.

We can also mention the elegance of Anita Pallenberg; Michael Mike and his pop for the gym; María Ezquiaga, from Rosal, has proved why she has become one of the best feminine singers of the moment; and El Chávez, who performed “cumbia” music on Sunday, was very applauded by many people wearing rock T-shirts.

We must highlight the presence of Divididos, a band that has left being an up and coming band long ago, but that has performed for one hour during the festival and offered a show of the best Argentine rock. This was the icing on the cake, for sure.

Undoubtedly, Ciudad Emergente has become a shop window to the best new bands. That is how the public that crowded the festival perceived it.
