Twenty minutes following 9:00 p.m. (scheduled start time), the first show that Shaving he wants to share with the Argentine public, in three functions that he scheduled until Saturday. It is not appropriate to call it a recital (despite the fact that songs are heard and there are singers who parade through its stages), nor a concert. It has the appearance of a festival according to the uses and customs of these times, with a great walk of brands that promote their products and food stalls, which lead to the main space, where the show takes place. In short, that is what it is regarding, a show, with features of an electronic party, as Bizarrap imagined and as his team of collaborators projected with a very strong commitment to visuals and lighting.
Structures arranged in the form of an oval and an angle of artistic production in 360 degrees, with a central nave for the protagonist and, on each side, what might literally be considered scenes of sideshows. The artists who do the preview pass through these stages: on the first day of this triptych they held up for the audience that had arrived very early, the DJ Anita B Queen, and Bhavi.
In this first installment, Bizarrap started strong with the themes of the BZRP Music Sessions what did he do with Nathy Fur, L-Glove, Ptazeta y Eladio Carrion. “Now I want them jumping,” he said, behind his computers and consoles, located at the foot of a semitubular screen that seemed to enthrone him. At that time he had almost three dozen songs ahead of him and just under two hours of shows. The super hits that he did with Shakira and Quevedo were reserved for the end. The visual effect was the one that predominated, with a lot of pyrotechnics (fire and smoke), plus a production of images on screens with constant visual stimulation and a sound aesthetic that pointed to the electronic party, beyond the fact that there were also some brief nuances, such as the fragment of the song that he recorded with Rene Resident.
That extensive list seemed like a summary of his vast career, even though it has elapsed in barely five years. As if the mother idea of these performances had been a review of his greatest hits or, at least, a brief sample of each one of them. Because the truth is that, far from the concept of a recital, he designed the repertoire as a sequence shot that united his creations that were conceived in the most diverse formats. He found a way to link themes of different origins with elegance. And perhaps that was one of his best weapons in those moments in which fire explosions, lasers and light shrapnel from LEDs were no longer a novelty for the public.
In the midst of so much virtuality, the special and face-to-face Alex Reed of the night was Duki. “Number one”. This is how Bizarrap presented it, in the interlude of an absolutely accurate and powerful set, which they built together.
This is the first time that it has sold tickets with its own production. All of his previous performances have been at festivals. Bizarrap wants to know if he can also be a prophet in his land and that’s where it is, with the functions that it will give for three nights. There he stands, in the middle of the Hippodrome, just 25 kilometers from his parents’ house, in Ramos Mejía, where, not so many years ago, he began to become known, thanks to his independent productions (Freestyle Sessions and Music Sessions). . Let’s say it was five or six years since he started uploading his first inventions to YouTube and three since so many artists aspiring to access the mainstream musical wanted to record with Biza as producer or, better put, they wanted to be touched by Biza’s magic wand. Because everything that went through his computer became millions of views on YouTube or reproductions on platforms like Spotify.
Although it will not be entirely easy to define, there is a before and following in his career. It may not have to do with a particular fact but with an attitude. At first, Bizarrap went with his instincts. Instead, he now sets goals and searches until he gets what he wants. He did freestyle sessions with the underworld rapper from the Buenos Aires suburbs until one of his guests told him “I don’t improvise, we better make a song”. And that’s how the BZRP Music Sessions (Bhavi was precisely the protagonist of that Music Session and the first voice chosen for the support show of this saga of functions). That’s how things happened. The same thing happened when he went to play music at an event and, since it was a sunny day, he put on big dark glasses. That remained as part of her style, the same as the cap.
Of course, there came a time when this “letting go” gave way to the planner Biza. To that 24-year-old boy named Gonzalo Conde who is behind the glasses and the cap and is the one who was designing his own destiny. He wanted to record with Shakira and she succeeded (although apparently the idea was a mutual coincidence because one of the Colombian diva’s sons wanted her mother to record with Bizarrap). He exploited that character that was created by chance in a merchandising industry that still seems to have no ceiling and that continues to produce events, such as the brand new APP that it uses both to retain its audience (the Social Club that can be seen at the entrance stand to the venue) as well as to distribute the QR of the tickets with which the public accesses their shows at the Hippodrome.
In the Biza race, beyond that own spontaneity, there seem to be no missteps. After that momentum, expansion came first, in 2022, with the production of songs together with artists from Latin America and Spain that made their field of action grow exponentially. The theme with the rapper Quevedo became the most listened to in the world for 55 days via Spotify. In Spain they opened their arms to him. He made a season there with face-to-face performances. Jimmy Fallon opened the doors of his Tonight show when the BZRP Music Session #53 that he recorded with Shakira became one of the biggest worldwide hits. Yes, the same one that will explode at the end of this first installment of Bizarrap at the Hippodrome.
Bizarrap’s participation in the Lollapalooza Argentina 2022 festival was a kind of litmus test to gauge the effect that their work might cause live, in front of large crowds. That performance in which he recreated a hit by Patricio Rey and his Redonditos de Ricota was a good thermometer to show that he might leave the studio. He started walking, gained confidence in various areas. And now he is put to the test in front of his own. Numbers are a constant when talking regarding Bizarrap. And this case is no exception. There are more than 30 cameras on the property. Those who might not access these shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, this first feature has DirecTV Go streaming (you have to download the app to access). More than 3,000 square meters of LED screens, 2,000 moving lights, 120 amplification sound systems distributed in 13 towers and 40 laser systems were arranged. The entire production requires 40 trucks to transport equipment and more than 1,500 people who work in these shows.
