The night of Saturday February 25 will be hard to forget for Ters. Named Gonzalo Tamames, he is a normal boy from the mountains of Madrid whose illusion is centered on roller skates and the music. With work and without making much noise he made Solder in one of the capital’s most emblematic venues: the ochoymedio
More than a thousand people gathered on a cold night to receive the warmth of live music. Before Ters, around 8:30 p.m., Daniela Garsal took charge of opening and warming up the room, delighting us with her wonderful voice. An hour later, at 9:30 p.m., the musicians jump on stage and after more than two minutes of intro the big moment arrives, the first song begins.
Bachata and Rum was in charge of opening the event. The first stanza was barely beginning and the theme was chanted by more than a thousand people.
Without paraphernalia or strange things, the singer appeared on stage with a sweatshirt and jeans. Ters is that type of artist who focuses on what’s important in the show, the music. Transmitting good vibes and humility, he continued with his songs. After a reggaeton, came a trap, then something more pop and then another genre. Because if there’s anything that defines this singer, it’s the versatility he has to flow to different beats.
The show continued with iconic themes such as And not you, your light and your calm, songs that were sung above the rest and released as singles throughout his career.
In addition to old songs, he presented several compositions that will be part of his first studio album. A versatile and complete project which will see the light very soon. As the show progressed, his impeccable band sound and Ters’ attitude took over the night, supporting the premise of promise of pop mop who offers.
After performing several of his hits, he changed register and sang several of his songs in English, first Nightmares and after Flawless, a song dedicated to his partner which was part of the most romantic moment of the night. Then, a thousand labyrinths sounded. Barely a week after its publication, the artist was surprised by the reception it received, since it was sung from beginning to end.
We were already nearing the end of the concert, but the energy was at its peak, so before the encore, he performed his biggest commercial hit. she exotic. Now yes, ochoymedio was a real party and the dance floor was in full swing. To my surprise, there was still the best. Far Away rang and the musicians decided to take a short break to come back with even more attitude. After the encore, in my opinion, the two best songs of the evening, both in terms of sound and interpretation: If we die, let it be at the same time, a dark and very danceable song which once again justifies its versatility , a modern song, with sad letters and style hiperpop. Live, it was only surpassed by the following song: turns that turns. A melody that continues to haunt my head and that was the icing on the cake. The audience left their voices behind and thus culminated a perfect night.
Who is ter?
Before the concert, we had the opportunity to sit down with him and chat a bit about his music, his influences and his future projects. In a relaxed and very close tone, he tells us about the origin of his music, which lies in the skateboarding. This sport, or rather this way of life, was the source of inspiration for his art. Little by little, with many barrier gestures and above all by taking advantage of every moment. Try not to compare yourself and enjoy your own successes. His musical inspirations are very varied, he drinks from artists who constantly experiment and change. Among his references, the deceased rapper XXX tentaciona precursor of the Emo-trap and the White Duke, the great David Bowie.
On a personal level, he defines himself as a completely normal kid, “without weird artistic tricks”. With his travels and stay outside Spain, he released several songs in English, however, organically he refocused on singing in Spanish. In his new songs, he looked for a very strong concept, he wants to ignore his initial sound a little, move away from Lofi, Bedroom pop and add a bit more power to the songs. This new sound will be part of what will be his debut album, which will be released soon.
Referring to the concert, he tells us that he tries not to think about it and to normalize the situation a little, in the madness which consists in gathering more than a thousand people in the capital. Despite everything, he is proud and satisfied with his work. For those who weren’t able to attend, send a peace of mind message as he will be touring and playing in Spain and of course he will be returning to his home town.
With a smile and affectionately he says goodbye and prepares to prepare his concert, if you have the opportunity, do not hesitate to listen to his songs on digital platforms, you will not be disappointed.
