THE REVIEW
With this Papitour, Miguel Bosé attests to the incredible success of his previous Papito (150,000 copies in Italy alone and several million worldwide): a live DVD to celebrate a tour that saw him perform in around 200 dates (almost all sold out) around the world.
This is an impressive live performance: mature, quality pop, built with intelligence and a great sense of spectacle. From the start, it is clear that the real protagonist is the music, with a quality band on stage: especially excellent is the rhythm section and Tolo Pueyo, the second guitarist. The lead guitarist, Pedro Andrea, seems more concerned with the image than the sound, but still knows his stuff. The live immediately showcases a truly performed concert, with Bosé always dominating the scene even with a simple suggestive glance at the audience: always very elegant in movements and style, Bosé is at the center of the show, and the 50,000 at the Plaza de Toros de Madrid respond with incredible warmth. It's a pity for the final mixing that made the sound a bit too pop since in the Milan date the guitars were much more prominent and the overall sound of the show was heavier.
As for the songs, it should be noted that this is not just a simple revival concert, with old songs and much nostalgia, but a journey through Bosé's repertoire accompanied by many recent and current songs, all perfectly arranged, with a minimal but precise band choreography and a very spectacular light show (nowadays everyone uses these bright LEDs...). In short, a Miguel Bosé that proves to be much more than the vague pop memory we have in Italy (which I also had), and it couldn't be otherwise, given the incredible cultural background of this character. It's a pity that in Italy he hasn't released albums for more than ten years because the impression is that of a well-rounded artist, mature and aware of his qualities but also of his limits, who consciously explores the various nuances of his musical sensitivity. A warm, Latin voice, not that of a virtuoso for sure, but one that knows how to make the most of its strengths and, which is never a bad thing, a great sense of stage and spectacle. And then many duets adorn a show already full of quality (splendid the one with Alaska, a true mythological character for the Spaniards and absolutely unknown to us). Best moments of the concert? Certainly the beginning, with a series of crescendos from "Sereno" to "Partisano", the central part with the '80s combo "Superman" and "Te Amaré", and then the intense and spectacular grand finale of the concert, with "Olvìdame Tu", "Corazones", "Bandido", and "Nena". The only flaw of the DVD is the direction: uh... in my opinion, it could have been better.
In conclusion, a very entertaining concert, well-played, with many beautiful songs, an absolutely spectacular set, and great chemistry between the audience and the artist. I would say we have it: yes, we really have.
