Flying Hands and Music of the Heart: Nastasia Zürcher

Thursday night, as part of the programme included in "Feito a man" , we attended a concert by Beat TrioNastasia Zürcher, who sang for a packed house at the terrace of La Granola. After 10 years as a performer, Zürcher showed she has what it takes to engage an audience. She belted through her hits "Dears", "Our Generation" or "Listen to Yourself".





She also sang "Voar", an unforgettable, beautifully written tune. The song expresses the longing to fly, the wish to get over pain and continue along her way, marking her own direction with her voice.

No artifice is needed, Zürcher can go out in front of a crowd with just her presence and two musicians and engage the crowd with the power of music alone. Her intimacy in between songs, her powerful voice, the amazing music by Adrián Saavedra and Narci Rodríguez, as well as the use of different instruments (rain sticks, or different variants of the one you can see below, I do not know its name), and the location between stone walls under a cloudy sky all contributed to a magical evening.


The true testament of a great artist and a great writer. 



Thank you Nastasia, Adrián and Narci for a memorable concert!
