Giovanna Manuel Serrat It’s like yoga for the brain. He makes his way by walking and here he is reaching the Press conference as if he himself were the embodiment of the famous praise of slowness.
He looks less bent than tired. 78 years old and about to present part of his farewell tour call the vice of singing. Vice is a fixed expense, an impediment, a tenacity due to the lack of willpower. In your case it could be. “I stop doing what I like best: playing on stage”, she said, filling the hall of the Astros theater, where the meeting with the journalists took place.
A little while ago, after the protocol and the smiles, a journalism dealing with “Nano” and the applause for the illustrious visitor who is welcomed as one of those uncles who lives abroad and comes to visit us from time to time. Your case is not like Chris Martin: no one asks him if he tried the dulce de leche or if he walked Caminito.
Well, he shouldn’t, but he was still asked about a good barbecue, football and stuff like that and Serrat pretty much stopped the reporter on his behalf. “This is rhetoric. My relationship with Argentina goes far beyond that“.
At one point he was asked about Dylan’s Nobel Prize in Literature. “If I would like to win that award. No, but I would give it to three artists. Chico (Buarque), because I find it moving. Silvio (Rodríguez) for the intelligence of his songs and Joaquín Sabina because I know he would like it,” he replied.
A mineral water and a microphone awaited him on the stage table. Serrat appears in a gray jacket and jeans up to the navel. If there had been Sabina, there would have been at least a can of beer instead of water. Or two. Although it took about five years, at an age when that difference is irrelevant, the toll is that Sabina has rejuvenated Joan Manuel.
Outside the theater there are loudspeakers and a giant screen, but the gloomy madness of the city keeps people passing. Nobody, not a single boy who notices the presence of such a figure.
The recitals promise a tour: 1965-2022, a highway through history and songs in a single night that promises to be eternal or unforgettable. There will be several functions in the Movistar Arena: November 19th, 20th, 25th, 26th and 29th.
That is to say, from now on, according to the calculations of the announcement, Serrat will be able to continue to come to the country, but only as a tourist.
America, the continent where half of the concerts of the tour took place, will be the protagonist of this farewell, which will then end on December 23 at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona.
The scene began at the end of April at the Beacon Theater in New York and the program includes stops in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica, Spain, Uruguay and Argentina.
