That’s it, it’s over: Coldplay made Monumental stadium vibrate for ten unforgettable nights. Here is a review, then, of ten great and surprising moments from Chris Martin and Cia. To relive it (those who were). To get excited in case they come back … (those who are left out).
1) I’m carrying you on my skin, Gus
But not all the surprises happened on stage. Less than 24 hours after his last performance at the River, Chris Martin surprised his fans and tattooed an Argentine singer’s iconic phrase before leaving the country.
I’m just two words which has become a national music brand after Gustavo Cerati immortalized them at the Monumental stadium on September 20, 1997, in the first farewell of Soda Stereo.
thanks total, was what Martin chose to italicize on his right forearm. An intervention that It was done with a tattoo artist who works in the vicinity of the river court.
It was she who shared on her social networks the moment she shared with Chris Martin, along with a selfie with him and the result of her work.
“He asked me to do everything by hand,” detailed on her Instagram account @zina_samoletova, the one in charge of writing the phrase on the singer’s skin. In a story she posted on her profile, she highlighted the fact that the British did not ask for any typefaces in particular and let her write in her own style.
Chris Martin got tattooed after sharing the stage (in show 9) with the two living musicians of Soda Stereo: Zeta Bosio and Charly Alberti. To the delight of fans, they reunited at the final show, number 10.
2) “Mick Jagger told us: ‘Coldplay is the power of … soft rock'”
In the only interview the band gave (not just in Argentina, for the whole tour! With the exception of theirs interview with Jimmy Fallon for US TV), Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland warmly welcomed questions from Bebe Contepomi and Juana Viale for TN.
In the rock & pop universe, Coldplay offer two truths: they are a lot but soooooo popular, to the point of filling ten rivers (and more if they wanted to). But at the same time the band is being criticized by the more rock sector of the audience.
When asked about it, Martin said: “Sometimes we play rock, but sometimes we play soft rock. When we played a few months ago, Mick Jagger came to visit us and said “This is the power of soft rock!” (laughs) …
“But in the end,” he added, “I think we have the spirit of rock and roll, which is about freedom of expression and being authentic, so we definitely do. I don’t know if you can still call us ‘a rock band’ because we do. many different things, but it is important that it is always the four of us “.
3) The bracelets
One of the most striking ingredients of a spectacular show was the use of the (already famous) bright xylobands braceletswhich will change color according to the theme and the sector of the Monumental that the public occupies.
