Religious attention was received recently on the 4th of May by the Argentinean Rodolfo Paez Avalos, Fito to his devotees. The meeting place could be no other than that of the house of God, in Union Chapel.

And the church forgot about saints and patron saints to dress itself with light and intimacy. A black grand piano, very grand, and the stained glass windows allowing in the last shots of light of the afternoon from behind the stage. The pulpit sheltering speakers and the congregational pews hosted a very Latin multitude.

And that multitude sang, danced and was moved by a Fito that climbed the stage punctually and distended. Emulating his live record “No se si es Baires o Madrid”, Fito grabbed his audience by the hand and took it on a journey through his musical career. Fito is not the one he used to be, a skinny and gawky guy, angry with the system and who used to laugh at his own fame. Fito is now a gentleman, one that wears a suit to work and takes what he says very seriously, even though he still does not get a haircut.

El tema de Piluso, 11 y 6, Polaroid de Locura Ordinaria (granted to the clamour of an uncontrollable fan), Un Vestido y Un Amor, Al lado del Camino, Es sólo una Cuestión de Actitud, Dar es Dar, A Rodar Mi Vida and a memorable version of Mariposa Technicolor were only some of the songs that gave joy to the heart of those present. The pinnacle of the evening arrived with the encore, when Fito got on stage with some clumsiness and silenced the clapping of the auditorium to surrender himself to an a capella interpretation of “Yo Vengo a Ofrecer Mi Corazon” that cemented for once and for all his fame as a music icon.
