On Saturday, the Coliseum in A Coruña was completely sold out to welcome Iván Ferreiro as part of his Hoy x ayer tour. The Galician musician reviewed three and a half decades of his career, combining classics from Los Piratas with the best of his solo work. A journey through memory that connected with a loyal and devoted audience.
The technical production behind the historical review 🎛️
The concert required a notable technical deployment. An L-Acoustics K2 sound system ensured uniform coverage throughout the venue, while lighting was handled by 200 robotic moving heads with DMX control. Synchronization between the playback of pre-recorded tracks and the live band was managed using Ableton Live, with an in-ear monitoring system to avoid timing issues. A setup that allowed smooth transitions between songs from different eras.
The setlist that makes you feel old 😅
The repertoire included songs that some fans listened to on cassette and now play in their cars via Android Auto. Seeing Ferreiro sing El equilibrio es imposible while the audience chants every word is the perfect reminder that 35 years have passed. No one mentioned the midlife crisis, but everyone felt it upon hearing the first chord of Mujeres.
