The night before last, early hours of the morning, I happened upon the tail end of a concert on TV (channel 113 on my TV). Promotional for Barrio Seguro programme with Franklin Almeida, Minister of the Interior & Police, highly visible in the audience, I think it was called Sinfonia por mi barrio. It had part of a Symphony Orchestra, certainly all the string section, piano etc but no brass that I observed. They were playing Por Amor and singing was a soprano, operatic style. Very nice. Then 5 guys, caps on backwards, shades, fingers jabbing into the air, etc joined in with a rap version. Forgive me, these guys are probably legends but since it isn't music I grew up with, I have no idea who they are.
The looks on the audience faces were a picture. Incredulity turning to beaming smiles. Imagine symphony orchestra, operatic soprano and...................5 rap artistes. But it actually worked! It all blended in, that's why incredulity turned to smiles of appreciation. So who was I watching & more importantly is it on You Tube or somewhere where I can see the whole thing? I've googled the obvious in Spanish and English but no luck. I suppose it would help if I knew who the rappers were...
