¡Que genial este Sábado!
Sebí made a delicious dinner of tortellini in a creamy red sauce and grilled chicken breast on the side; it was fantastic. Then John and I had a couple drinks before going our separate ways. I decided to meet up with my buddy Brett and check out the Delecuentes concert. It was a free show at a park down by the river. So we split a cab and we were dropped off at this unbelievably gaudy carnival that fed into the lot where the concert was held. We sipped our beer and people watched at the carnival and made our way into the venue.
It was amazing; the opening band was a surprisingly good funk ensemble with an American front man. They played Sly and the Family Stone, Rick James and even a bit of Little Richard I think. It was good music, but almost as importantly, it reminded me of home and just made me feel good (when does funk not make you feel fine, honestly?). Los Delecuentes were nothing too special, but it was cool to see all the Spaniards get behind their favorite band. They come from Cadiz and, apparently, they are gaining momentum throughout the whole country. But Granada, being so close to home for those boys, has always been good to them. It’s great seeing a band whose affection for their fans is genuine, and I guess that’s all you can ask from a show.
