BLOG 2: THE BEST CONCERT I HAVE HAD

Hi everyone! Today i'm going to talk about the best concert i've ever been to: the last show of "Asamblea Internacional del Fuego".

This concert was on September 14, 2019, in the aula magna of the University of Santiago. 

"Asamblea Internacional del Fuego" is a band that was born in 2001 and has been classified under the labels of hardcore, post hardcore and emo. However, the singer himself has rejected those denominations and has pointed out that the band really is a "combat rock" band, alluding to the political lyrics.

On the other hand, the band has released four albums, have toured different latitudes of the planet and have declared themselves as a left-wing group.

This show was a farewell concert. This is why the atmosphere on that day was very special. It is not very common for an underground band to fill a space of a thousand people, nor to make an extensive presentation, with guests and even with an audiovisual exhibition of people who could not attend. 

This, added to the relevance that this band has had in my life, both in my musical training and in my political training, made a simple concert a true assembly of emotions: on the one hand, the happiness of seeing my favorite band and, on the other, the sadness that it was their last show.

In spite of that last song, with the lights on and the spectators on the stage, a product of the popular revolt in October, the band would again perform in two instances of solidarity and support for the political prisioners and victims of state repression. Consequently, it is possible that the band will remain active, given the national political context. 

That was all, thanks for reading me!
