This weekend has been truly special because I’ve finally gotten to really know the guys from Ereb Altor. I had toured with them 10 or 15 years ago, but back then we hardly spoke much. This time, playing with them again, I’ve really gotten to know them and was amazed by the chemistry that emerged between us. They are wonderful people, and the moments we’ve shared in just two days have been absolutely splendid.
From rehearsing together before the show—feeling like we’d been playing together for years—to having deep conversations and sharing food, drinks, and music around a table, it’s been an experience that’s filled me with life and energy.
The most incredible thing has been seeing how these guys can connect with so many people around them. I saw all kinds of folks, some well-known, some not at all, singing along and vibing with the music, even if it was in another language.
It’s been a very important reunion, especially since I hadn’t seen some of these people in so long, and sharing this moment in my own city—where it’s always a bit of a challenge for me to play—has been truly special. I’m a bit sad it’s over, but I know we’ll see each other again at 70,000 Tons of Metal in a month, and I’m already counting down the days.
So once again, thank you all for being there and for the support. It’s been a fantastic way to wrap up the year, although we still have one more performance next week. Cristina and I will play a couple of Aegrisomnia pieces at the Padre Soler School, where Sofía studies cello.
A big hug to everyone!
