Singer Kiko Veneno delivered a vibrant concert at Barcelona's Paral·lel 62, debuting new songs and captivating the audience with his popular wisdom. He requested silence amid lively conversations and showcased tracks from his upcoming album. The show blended classics and novelties in an emotional night.
Kiko Veneno, 74 years old, performed at Barcelona's Paral·lel 62 as part of his new tour. The popular musician opened with six new tracks, highlighting ballads 'Guitarrica', an ode to his guitar, and 'Puentes romanos'. During the latter, he paused gracefully yet firmly to request silence from a crowd spurred by bar chatter, stating his work deserved respect by being heard.
Silence then prevailed, particularly when he played solo guitar for 'La casa cuartel', a love song with biographical roots about a military father. The audience softly sang the chorus: “y solo quiere irse muy lejos/cogerla de la mano y salir corriendo”.
The setlist featured gems like 'Lobo López', 'Echo de menos', 'En un Mercedes blanco', 'Superhéroes de Barrio', 'Veneno' with the Amador brothers, 'Traspaso', 'Dice la gente', and 'Los tontos' with C Tangana. Near the end, he paid homage to Barcelona with 'La rama de Barcelona'. His impeccable band, with guitars, percussion, backing vocals, and keyboards, backed a fresh, varied show far from autopilot.
