GLENN HUGHES en Cine Teatro Plaza

Telonero: APLANADORA

Martes 23 de Octubre de 2007

por Jorge Patacas

Apenas un par de semanas antes de la realización del show, se anunciaba la llegada a nuestro país del histórico bajista Gllenn Hughes, conocido principalmente por sus trabajos junto a Deep Purple y Black Sabbath además de su carrera como solista. La noticia tomó por sorpresa a todos sus fans, aunque el hecho de que el evento se haya organizado de manera tan rápida impidió que el Cine Teatro Plaza quedara colmado ese día. De esta manera, el martes 23 de Octubre llegó y Glenn Hughes visitaría nuestro país por segunda vez en su carrera en el marco de la gira de presentación de su último álbum de estudio titulado "Music For The Divine" (2006). Apenas estaba anocheciendo cuando a las 20 hs. puntual, las aproximadamente 500 personas que estuvieron presentes ya se encontraban en sus butacas, y Aplanadora se apoderaba del escenario. Con Nacho Obes nuevamente en las voces, la banda local formada por Agustín Davis y Santiago Cabakián (bajo y batería respectivamente) comenzó su presentación con "Excluído Del Mundo", tema inédito hasta el momento, contando con muy buen sonido. La banda se mostró muy entusiasmada durante todo su repertorio, con un gran trabajo de Camilo Saralegui que demostró ser un gran guitarrista para quienes no tenían el agrado de conocerlo. El setlist de la banda estuvo compuesto por temas pertenecientes a su segundo álbum de estudio titulado igual que la banda ("Oscuro Secreto", "Aplanadora", "El Explorador"), algunos temas inéditos como la ya mencionada "Excluído Del Mundo", "El Camino Del Fuego" y "Seguir Viviendo", además de una muy buena versión de "War Pigs", el clásico de Black Sabbath, que justamente incluyen en su disco debút, "Tributo A Black Sabbath" (2005). Aproximadamente cuarenta minutos estuvo Aplanadora en el escenario, y a las 21 hs., Glenn Hughes salía al escenario, y sin anestesia comenzó su show con "Stormbringer" seguido por "Might Just Take Your Life", ambos clásicos de su época con Deep Purple, lo que provocó que el público abandonara sus asientos para acercarse al escenario, y apreciar mejor el show que diera el bajista y el resto de los músicos que componen su banda.Luego siguieron "Land Of The Livin'" de su disco anterior como solista, "Soul Mover" (2005) y llegó el momento de la increíble balada, "Mistreated" incluída en el "Burn" de Deep Purple donde Hughes hizo notar su excelente registro vocal. Lamentablemente el único inconveniente de la noche surgió sobre el final de este tema cuando uno de los amplificadores comenzó a hacer descargas, algo que ya había sucedido días atrás en su presentación en Argentina, lo que provocó su enojo y posterior patada a dicho amplificador. Finalmente el problema fue solucionado, y el show continuó con el público que dio una respuesta espectacular a cada uno de los temas del repertorio. Así pasaron "You Got Soul", "Don't Let Me Bleed", "Steppin' On" y "Soul Mover" de sus dos últimos discos como solista, y más de su época con Purple con temas como "Gettin' Tighter" y "You Keep On Moving", del "Come Taste The Band" (1975), cerrando su show con el super clásico "Burn" coreado por todo el público.

A excepción de ese pequeño inconveniente con el amplificador, el sonido del show fue excelente, lo que hizo que se apreciara aún más el innegable talento de los músicos y de Glenn quien esa noche demostró a todos por qué es que se lo conoce como "La Voz Del Rock" llegando a unas notas realmente altísimas que cualquiera envidiaría. Así fue el reencuentro de Glenn Hughes con nuestro país, y un gran show donde convivieron el Hard Rock, el Blues, el Funk y el Soul. Ojalá podamos disfrutar de una tercer visita pronto.

Santiago Cabakian Of AplanadorA

Hello, people at Modern Drummer, it's a pleasure for me to tell you the way I've been trying to survive musically in this little big-hearted country in Latin America called Uruguay.

Logically, this country's good heart and friendly people are not enough: In a third-world country there are few possibilities of economic development for musicians.

Most of us—although we are, musically speaking, above many of the bands that come to play here from other countries—must pay the price of living here and wait for a miracle to happen and take us to the place we deserve to be in.

But not everything is wrong: I've been blessed with the gift of being able to develop as a musician, specifically as a drummer, since I was six years old. I've been through every vicissitude in this career, but I carry on as session drummer. Lately I've had been more enthusiastic about being a member of a band. All in all, it's a career I'm achieving with a lot of sacrifice, like every individual who dedicates himself to music.

In 2001 I was a member of Plancton (new metal), and two years later I became a founding member of AplanadorA, with my friend and bass-player Agustin Davis (formerly of Legend).

In 2004, the band Radical called me for their first record, Radio, and I took part in their shows during the first period of the band. A year and a half later, in May of 2006, that album achieved the Graffiti award for Best Heavy Metal Album, given by local and international press and recording companies.

Nevertheless, I chose to stay with AplanadorA, who I went on to record four albums with. This band played live for the first time on December 11, 2005, when we introduced our first LP, a tribute to the legendary Brits Black Sabbath.

After a good number of shows—from Bjbar to ex Central Theatre—this past July AplanadorA shared a show with Viticus, the Argentinean band of the former bassist of Pappo, Riff.

This October AplanadorA had the privilege of sharing boards with the Deep Purple/Black Sabbath bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes. This took place at the Central Theatre, where AplanadorA played for the first time and opened the first show that Hughes gave in Uruguay in ten years.

I can say that I'm happy with the results: a unique, not very common experience for a band of our genre. And I must say that, although the price of the tickets was not very affordable, the four thousand people in the audience—among whom we could recognize our loyal stable of fans—told us that fans will follow you to the end of the earth.

The whole experience pre-show and backstage with Glenn's crew was unusual—I have never had the chance to know people so cordial, refined, and polite. One of my greatest memories is a dialog with Steve Stephens, a heart-and-soul human being who showed his goodness by lending me his drumkit and allowing me to make the changes I wished to for my performance. This enabled AplanadorA to start the show on time. Glenn and G.G. Mash also showed their kindness by congratulating my performance.

Let's turn to my regular life: teaching and playing in the few places Montevideo offers. At the moment I'm in a new project called Indigo, with singer and guitarist Pablo Soiza. We've done twelve songs, which we hope to release by November 23. I have very good expectations for the album because the songs are powerful and my style is more moderated than when playing heavy metal. On November 22 we are playing at Bjbar.

My career started for me after lots of radio advertisements, shows with soloists, and cheap cover bands that did not pay a third of my daily expenses, which I need to supplement my earnings from teaching. But I don't want to give you a bad image. Because all hard work results in good rewards, especially when a great magazine like Modern Drummer gives me the chance to tell you about my reality as a drummer here in South America.

Well, if you want to know more about my career and listen to some of my music, you can visit these sites: www.myspace.com/scabakian, www.aplanadora.net, and www.myspace.com/indigobanda. Or if you want, you can email me at scabakian@gmail.com

And don't forget this: "Creation, freedom, and strength…always look for new ideas!"
