Last sunday, I went to see a concert. It was not my first concert in Chile, but it was the first with a true concert atmosphere. The host was Emir Kusturica and its No Smoking Orchestra, quite popular in Chile, taking into account the distance. It was scheduled to 6 in the afternoon, but they postponed it til 9 in the evening. This wouldn't be worth notice if the reason wasn't... football. Chile was playing for the world cup qualifiers at the same time, so they showed the match inside the theatre and right after it, the concert.
I'd never seen Kusturica live before, the band is indeed amazing. It was a frenetic gipsy ska concert, gipsy opera, as they called themselves. Chileans are not different from portuguese in the concert attitude. They dance, they sing, they jump, they mosh, they violently mosh! Incredible was the fact that some people actually knew the lyrics, even the ones sung in serbian... Respect para los chilenos.

ahhh!! Agora so eu a dizer: q inveja!
Eles já vieram tanta vez a Portugal mas acabei por nunca ir ver um concerto! Deve ser brutal!
Eheeh, tooooomaaaaa, n tenho asinhas mas já os vi!!! :p
Não foi o concerto da minha vida, mas foi bem bom, bem animado. O Kusturica é uma paz de alma, mas os outros... upa upa!
Lo cierto es que el "romance" entre Kusturica y Chile ya tiene su tiempo. Comenzamos a ver sus películas hace mucho, y siendo yo una nena de 19 ya tuve la oportunidad de verlo hace un par de años atrás en el mismo teatro. Después de todo, la globalización tiene sus beneficios... después de todo Chile, pese a sus barreras naturales (cordillera, desierto, océano y hielo), no está tan alejado del resto del mundo.
I've just come from seeing Kusturica and the Non Smoking! They were wonderful! I really enjoyed the show, and I'm absolutely sure that everybody loved it! Nele Karajlić was superb!
