Concert Review: the Concert of Romeo Santos

The concert started with reggaeton music playing in the huge speakers. The music was played while the artist got ready to perform. The concert was of music style called Bachata, latin American music. Bachata can be traced back to Dominican Republic in the mid 1980s. Overall I would say the artist has a voice of baritone. The dynamics of most of the songs were mezzo piano and mezzo forte. Most of his songs stayed in the medium soft and medium loud.

The pattern of the artist was to always start soft his sons and eventually to crescendo. In live songs the musician makes many cadence throughout his songs. I also notice that all his songs had a melody along with a harmony making them homophonic songs. Instruments that I notice were used in his concert were: a guitar, electric guitar, bongos, tambora drum and some kind of maracas.

For example in the song “Eres Mia”, Romeo Santos starts to sing without instruments, and his vocals are present through the entire section of the song. His vocals styles are very smooth and legato. The words seem to blend together. Romeo starts to sing, and the instruments unexpectedly cut out for about five seconds. During that part it was just him singing acapella, which was really surprising to me since I now know how instruments form a big part in the vocalist melody. In the last section of the song like the last two minutes the rhythms of the song change. The vocals are the most important and so are all the guitars used because they stand out the most. The song ends with Romeo singing spanish to english. Overall, this song is really great it can put anyone to dance, if they are interested into bachata style.

The concert of Romeo Santos was a new experience for me, not because of the artist, but because it was the first time I attend a real life concert. The concert was very amusing. There was big speakers to hear the artist vocals and instruments. I really enjoyed the concert because I know most or all of the artist songs. His song’s made my mood change from sadness, excitement and happiness. It’s impressive to see the singer sing and at the same time dance or move around the arena without stopping or loosing key notes. I would say the artist sang more 10 songs in total, maybe i lost count but it’s nice to hear live songs. It’s also impressive how the musicians and singer can have a lot of energy for hours. It’s not such a surprise that live songs don’t sound as same as recorded. A specific song he sang that changed my whole mood was “Soberbio” which means too much pride or stubborn. The song is about a man realizing that love can not be bought with all the money in the world. The voice is between bass and baritone. The song changed my mood from excitement to sadness. Most of his songs spoke about love and very intimate.
