On Friday May 28 was presented for the first time in Uruguay one of the greatest voices I've heard tremendous, Chan Marshall, better known as Cat Power. Gave his show at the Plaza movie theater. The last job
Cat Power was released in 2008, so did not come in an exclusive tour to present an album, but touched on several themes of his later works, which we were lucky to hear songs from a wider repertoire .
The presentation was good sober scene, a piano, a guitar and only in some subjects a battery. Ah of course, and his voice, unmistakable star of the night. Onstage she starts singing and it's like to be locked in their world, singing at once with great force and soul but with some timidity as though trying not wrong. It has topics ranging from soul, folk and / or alternative country, jazz and even some no doubt from the blues. Cat Power has the distinction of singing sad things and turn them into beautiful themes. Not to mention, all their music is governed by another characteristic, the departure of minimalism. A clear example of what can be done much with little in its place.
Another point that it can identify Cat Power is on their covers. Usually do and even has several albums devoted entirely to them. Covers covering artists like Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Aretha Franklin, Creedence Clearwater Revival and others. She makes it her way totally different versions. Appropriates themes and interpreted in a very personal point sometimes you do not realize that what you are doing is actually a cover. An example is the subject Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones, made a big issue with the imprint of Cat Power unrecognizable beside the original.
The show lasted two hours, with people paying close attention to the stage. A lot of concentration, even to times when the silence in the room was deathly clear then burst into applause at the end of each topic, which seemed to really enjoy Chan, thanked the point that many times and even encourage you to throw a " iuruguay Hello! ". Which were also not held up and shouted such things style as "Te amoo Chan!".
Finally, the concert ended with the star of the night singing a song which was not among the people. Is under the stage to sing alongside those who were closer, and while singing distributed numbers of flowers he had in hand.
The truth that I knew not much but I was satisfied, a great voice can not be denied, she has and her songs are very good.
The videos I tried to record, it was two covers, and listen.
