Index – Tradition – Rise up police occupied the degree at Azahriah’s sold-out Puskás live performance

Might 24, 2024. Everybody take into accout this date! An extended-awaited day, a red-letter vacation, a milestone in Hungarian track historical past:

And if that by myself wasn’t sufficient, he did all of it on the age of twenty-two, with only a few years of gigging at the back of him.

The primary act of the “triple Puskás”, the live performance on Friday, will probably be adopted by way of two extra events on Saturday and Sunday night: after Might 24, at the twenty fifth and twenty sixth, the folk will are living the title of Azahriah. The place else would the “Ria! Ria! Azahriah!”, as in Puskás, the place Hungarian soccer fanatics have been used to cheering – till now.

Now we have been to an Azahriah live performance earlier than, no longer one, no longer two, no longer even 3, however what we skilled at Puskas was once an unheard of and unrepeatable few hours.

He loaded the Puskás

As a substitute of rain, the live performance began within the solar in a cape tied across the waist, even supposing the latter was once no longer essential both. No longer most effective was once it raining, nevertheless it wasn’t even chilly: the easiest climate for a live performance held in an open stadium. The beginning was once promised at 8 o’clock within the night, however, white buttocks flashed at the degree and at the projector at 3 quarter previous 8 – DESH got here amongst us. Smartly, the backing band was once Azahriah’s fellow musician,

• the group treated the manufacturing in-house from the primary minute to the remaining.

After all, the naked bottoms didn’t belong to DESH, however to the feminine dancers who carried out brutal choreography, whilst the rapper debuted his new hit on Might 1

Strawberry

opened the celebration with the composition entitled

I’m hoping I will fan the flames of your little blood!

– stated DESH to the target market and made the folk satisfied for approximately 3 quarters of an hour. The rapper was once joined by way of some other fellow musician, Younger Fly, for a couple of tracks, after which the duo introduced that the brand new EP will probably be launched in the summertime.

All over DESH’s manufacturing, it nonetheless gave the impression that the discussed (and promised) complete dwelling didn’t exist and would no longer exist. Up to now few days, many of us began promoting their tickets on-line, and everybody questioned what may well be at the back of the mass price tag gross sales. In mild of this, it would also have been true that 1000’s could be lacking from the auditorium. Now we have already noticed the unfavourable headlines earlier than us: Azahriah didn’t fill Puskás; Part the stadium was once empty at Azahriah’s live performance; The place did the audience pass from Azahriah’s live performance? And so forth.

In many ways, the placement was once progressed by way of the truth that there was once greater than part an hour wreck between the performances of DESH and Azahriah, so that every one spectators may just take their seats – the stands and the world crammed properly, slowly, however complete. Regardless, the transition wreck felt rather lengthy, the ones with seats may well be satisfied that they have been spared the again ache from numerous loitering – against this to the brigade within the enviornment.

The kiss digital camera scanned

Since we visited a sports activities facility, the organizers took care of the leisure evoking the ambience of the suits. The audience kiss caminto, this is, the cameramen pressured them right into a kiss digital camera: the {couples} showing at the projector needed to kiss every different. Those that didn’t give smack to the individual status subsequent to them have been blown away by way of the target market – or pressured to kiss.

As for the imaginative and prescient of malicious titles: they are able to hardly ever seem after the Friday display, for the reason that celebration truly changed into a complete dwelling live performance. Azahriah started her section at 9 p.m. Most effective those that had simply long past to the toilet after ingesting the (overdue) contents of repo cups bearing the title and emblem of the performer didn’t take their position.

for the primary Hungarian performer who gave an unbiased live performance within the stadium. No longer most effective from the viewpoint of price tag gross sales, but in addition from the choice of guests and the overall stadium, persons are certainly within the Puskás live performance introduced seven months in the past.

Azahriah is first as same old An introverted tunehe venerated the target market, however his set was once additionally predictable: in black garments, along with the Matula hat and sun shades combo, he warmed up with the acquainted “beehive headgear” from SopronFest, i.e. a veil with holes on his head. May just this headdress be the 3rd part of the triumvirate? The following accent to cover at the back of whilst a stadium of other folks tear him aside with their eyes?

Azahriah chewed his method via his complete tune listing, inviting the target market to trip again in time: along with his previous songs in English (emulator, 4K love) to 2022-es syllablesintroduced from delusionsand, has concentratet is a 4 moods hit, the place even the megaphone seemed for a couple of seconds. Ultimate 12 months’s Souvenir album tracks (szosziazi, gát, paper dwelling, 3korty) was once additionally mentioned, whilst the brand new album, a Skatulya Iadditionally carried out songs from (Yukata, lesson, cipoe

– true, most effective part of the latter). THE

mariana. moat

could not be neglected of the efficiency both: the spacesuited diver acquainted from the video clip floated over the target market within the shape of a large puppet.

DESH is again, bringing the celebration

After seventy-five mins of Azahriah’s solo, DESH returned to the degree, however this time the to the riteburst in with somewhat than the I drink blankmal, which is without doubt one of the duo’s best-known songs. THE rite after (as a part of the manufacturing) revolt police ran onto the degree, who stood in best possible distinction to DESH wearing snow white.

Azi and Deshi nonetheless transfer nice in combination on degree, the previous and new songs in combination have been performed as it’s written within the large e-book: Papa, Pullup, Habibi, the bringer of reputation COLDby way of meg a Rampapapam – the place, along with Azahriah, DESH and Younger Fly, even supermanager Kristóf Tóth, aka KRSA, went out to celebration with the target market.

It’s fascinating to watch how a lot Azahriah wrote songs in a distinct taste with DESH: whilst her more moderen, solo songs have a a lot more global track really feel, laced with South American and reggae components, her previous songs with DESH have a a lot more trappy, hip-hop sound, and likewise celebration those numbers can and are truly price it.

Loud and impressive

The live performance was once most likely the most powerful when it comes to visible components, even supposing the sound device was once no longer susceptible both: within the first few songs, the vocals have been so robust that they drowned out the guitar and plenty of musical components. Even the drums may just no longer be heard smartly, however with time this drawback disappeared. Because of the extend towers, the ones sitting within the again rows of the auditorium may just additionally listen the tracks at the side of the ones as regards to the degree.

The visible idea was once as it should be – as it should be – bizarre for Azahriah:

The CGI background projections have been ceaselessly related to the lyrics of the songs, different occasions shall we see scenes from the track movies at the massive partitions.

There have been numerous dancers shifting at the degree, a few of them twirling within the speco sezkos that when once more created the impact of a tribal séance, and a few of them in extraordinary units, however ballerinas and pole dancers additionally entertained the target market with atypical dance productions.

The decor components – the diving doll, the three-breasted, large fats monster projected at the projector, the dancing skeletons, and the big (severed) fingers placing in opposition to the degree – fell into the extraordinary class, and from an intruder’s standpoint, they did not have a lot of a task within the tale.

No longer most effective the projections, the figures and the dancing ladies, but in addition the pyrotechnics heated up the air. Pillars of smoke and fireplace, in addition to colourful fireworks, have been included into the live performance, on occasion capturing so loudly into the sky that it virtually made one’s center skip a beat.

Azahriah isn’t the type of performer who talks so much, dances so much, parades round in gigantic costumes, or makes numerous useless strikes at a live performance. To the contrary. He is based only on his voice and track. You have got the surrounds in entrance, subsequent to and at the back of, the visuals, the dancers, the fireworks and whatnot. Alternatively, he most effective specializes in the sound. He sticks out with a guitar, enters at the back of a keyboard or drums and dominates the degree with none exaggerated display components.

In step with the live performance’s paper shape, a Mind1 concluded with Azahriah-DESH joint. All of the present feelings got here out at the faces of the lads, even at the back of the sun shades it was once visual that they have been moved, but proud and glad, seeking to perceive what had simply took place to them. Historical past was once written.

And it is improbable to assume {that a} live performance of this caliber was once learned by way of a Hungarian performer and his group…
