Épico concierto de Dead Daisies sacude La Habana
Por Charly Morales Valido (*)

La Habana (PL).- Épico. Podrían buscarse más calificativos y todos serían positivos, pero realmente épico define como ningún otro el primer concierto de The Dead Daisies en La Habana.
La superbanda internacional se lució en el habanero teatro Maxim Rock, cuartel general del género en Cuba, ante un mosaico generacional que coreó con clásicos como "All Right Now".

Repleto a más no poder, la sala vibró con el rock más puro y duro jamás tocado aquí, por un Todos Estrellas que incluía a integrantes de varias bandas que han definido la historia del rock and roll.

Una veintena de temas y el reclamo de más subieron la adrenalina y activaron la máquina del tiempo para "frikis" de todas las edades, entre incrédulos y maravillados, en este concierto por la paz.

La formación interpretó temas propios y varios éxitos de siempre, como el Jumping Jack Flash de los Rolling Stones, dos de cuyos integrantes, Bernard Fowler y Daryl Jones, actuaron anoche aquí.

Completan la banda Richard Fortus y Dizzy Reed (Guns N�Roses), Brian Tichy (Ozzy Osbourne), David Lowy (Red Phoenix and The Angel), John Carabi (Motley Crue) y Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy).

Tras la despedida y ante el reclamo del público, The Dead Daisies interpretaron varias canciones más, con un profesionalismo en la ejecución que impresionó y deleitó a la vez.

Horas antes, los visitantes intercambiaron con músicos cubanos, con la esperanza de conocer más sobre la célebre tradición rítmica de este país, y a la vez enseñar algo sobre el más puro rock.

Varios asistentes coincidieron con Prensa Latina en lo histórico del momento para los amantes del rock en Cuba, justo 10 años después de otro hito, el memorable concierto de Audioslave en La Habana.

En el escenario, los músicos se veían igual de entusiasmados que su audiencia, alucinada por los virtuosos solos y por la evidencia de que soñar no cuesta nada, como aseguró Fowler días atrás.

Cuando Prensa Latina le preguntó al carismático cantante si podía Cuba soñar con un concierto de los Rolling Stones aquí, respondió: "No solo pueden soñar con ello, también les puedo decir que los sueños se hacen realidad".

La noche le dio la razón a Fortus, guitarrista de Guns NÂ�Roses, quien tenía la certeza de que los cubanos los acogerá con gran entusiasmo.

"Cuando unes a diferentes músicos siempre se crea algo nuevo, el nacimiento de un lenguaje constituye un fenómeno natural, más cuando todos compartimos las mismas influencias", explicó.

"Somos unos veteranos, pero tenemos mucha hambre de explorar cosas nuevas", dijo a su vez Mendoza, de origen mexicano, y por ende vocero del grupo.

Explicó que la idea es ser abanderados del rock clásico, aquel que hizo época en las décadas de 1970 y 1980. "Por nuestra edad, creemos que es la mejor música", afirmó entre risas.

Mendoza aseguró que Dead Daisies vino a conectar con los cubanos, con la música, la cultura y la gente de este país, con la idea, principalmente, de abrir puertas.

The Dead Daisies regalan concierto épico en la Habana



a Habana, 26 feb (PL) La superbanda estadounidense de rock The Dead Daisies regaló un concierto épico en esta capital, ante un mosaico generacional que coreó con clásicos como "All Right Now". (PLRadio)
El capitalino teatro Maxim Rock vendió todas sus capacidades y más aún para el primero de los dos conciertos de esta agrupación, que reúne a integrantes de varias bandas legendarias.

Una veintena de temas y el reclamo de más subieron la adrenalina y activaron la máquina del tiempo para "frikis" de todas las edades, entre incrédulos y maravillados, en este concierto por la paz.

La formación interpretó temas propios y varios éxitos de siempre, como el Jumping Jack Flash de los Rolling Stones, dos de cuyos integrantes, Bernard Fowler y Daryl Jones, actuaron anoche aquí.

Completan la banda Richard Fortus y Dizzy Reed (Guns N�Roses), Brian Tichy (Ozzy Osbourne), David Lowy (Red Phoenix and The Angel), John Carabi (Motley Crue) y Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy).

Tras la despedida y ante el reclamo del público, The Dead Daisies interpretaron varias canciones más, con un profesionalismo en la ejecución que impresionó y deleitó a la vez.

Horas antes, los visitantes intercambiaron con músicos cubanos, con la esperanza de conocer más sobre la célebre tradición rítmica de este país, y a la vez enseñar algo sobre el más puro rock.

El próximo sábado el Salón Rosado de la Tropical acogerá la segunda cita de esta banda, que viene a Cuba exactamente 10 años después de otro hito, el memorable concierto de Audioslave.

Supergroup the Dead Daisies, consisting of musicians from Guns N' Roses, INXS, Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake, became the first American band to rock Cuba in the post-embargo era last week.

Now back in the U.S., the rum-soaked and cigar-laden rockers tell us the island nation is ready to party.

“Everyone’s passion for music is so refreshing!” Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member and Guns N’ Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed tells Confidenti@l.

The Dead Daisies spent their week in Havana recording with local musicians, teaching music workshops and playing a pair of shows for the Cuban Ministry of Culture.

Renowned rock photographer Katarina Benzova was hired to shoot the band’s historic tour, but had to go rogue to see Havana’s underbelly. “I wanted to shoot the real thing, so I got my own driver,” said the seasoned shutterbug, who celebrated her 28th birthday with a Cuban cigar on March 1. Even in the more run-down areas of Havana, Lower East Side denizen Benzova said she never felt unsafe.

Vocalist Bernard Fowler, with 25 years as a backup singer with the Rolling Stones, says our neighbors 90 miles south of Miami aren’t as isolated as we might imagine.
More than 50 years after the Cuban Revolution transformed the country, Havana still seems stuck in a 1950s time warp. The U.S. embargo bans almost all travel to the island, but Daily News staffer Garrett Ward recently got a rare glimpse of the forbidden city. Above, a view of a typical sidestreet in Havana. Follow our galleries on Twitter @NYDNPhotos.      
One of the most recognizable symbols of Cuba is its 1950s cars, which are still around from before the 1959 Cuban Revolution. These older models are predominantly 'illegal' or 'freelance' taxis. Fares are negotiable and you can hail a semi-full cab and join the ride going to various parts of the city.      
Obispo St. in the Old Havana section is one of the busiest streets in the city, with bustling shops, bars, restaurants and open markets.      
But most of Havana is in need of serious repair and renovations, including this waterfront warehouse.

“We visited an art gallery and they didn’t look ‘stuck’ to me,” he said.

The Dead Daisies’ Cuban odyssey wasn’t without mischief. We’re told some travelers with the band had to seek out better bandwidth in private residences and foreign embassies that had hidden satellite dishes not approved by the Castro regime.

The band’s entourage also discovered that local shops would gladly put lower price stickers on rum and cigars headed back to America, so that U.S. customs agents wouldn’t harass anyone for going over the $100 import maximum.

Former Whitesnake bassist Marco Mendoza — a married man — sidestepped a question about the Cuban groupie scene.

“You have to ask some of my single colleagues,” he said.
