Shakira in Bucharest
After the concert in 2006 Shakira came back tonight. In the opening a Romanian singer, Smiley.
"Good evening Bucharest"
All the media announced a number of 20.000 fans and I can say I saw (and hear), besides Romanians, Indians, French, Russians, English.
"The Sun Comes Out World Tour (Sale el Sol World Tour)" is the name of Shakira's tour and after performing in Budapest on May 5th, the artist arrived at Bucharest just before concert. The tour is in support of her sixth and seventh studio albums, She Wolf and Sale El Sol.
In Bucharest it rained cats and dogs and some fans got upset because the artist didn't start at 9pm as scheduled and left; but other fans resisted the heavy shower and cold from outside and Shakira thank them and telling them "I am all yours tonight". At one point the artist told and asked the audience to allow her to take her boots because it is cold in Bucharest, after performing in barefoot in the beginning on the wet stage (which the stuff had to towel before every song because of the heavy rain). But the cold didn't stop Shakira to remain at one point only in her bra, getting rid of thw top she was wearing.The show was making people jump and dance and sing as much as the cold did. At one moment Shakira came forward and asked for two people to come on the stage with her. The lucky ones were two girls Madalina and Julia who Shakira showed some belly moves and dances for few seconds on stage along with the artist.
Among the songs Shakira sing tonight were: Loca, Waka waka, Ojos asi, but also older songs, Gypsy, Whenever wherever, including Nothing else matters of Metallica. And also had a belly dancing moment on Arabic drums which warmed up the audience. You can see more videos from the concert in Bucharest on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-sun-comes-out/128317880561854 or youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZQNqTNLjvA
After coming on stage 21 minutes late Shakira did a wonderful show, too bad the sound man didn't allow the audience to fully enjoy her voice, the music being louder than her voice.
In the end...which by the way came too soon for all the fans rained down the skin, Shakira said "see you next time Bucharest", it was 10:56 pm. But the fans kept on screaming so the artist came back on stage and performed two more songs. Confetti flew over the public because they had the wonderful idea of placing the machines on the towers used to sustain the lights and cameras...so the plaza air filled with confetti.
When the concert was finally over, 11:10pm, lightnings and thunders started to disturb the sky.
So, a bientot Shakira.

In all this sad and untamed chain of bad things happening a beautiful love story rises. You can see it as it was discovered and told by CNN:
God be with Japan and Japanese people everything to end soon and with no more disasters.

Silence
By me
Silence...
Deep and perverse silence,
Late in the night,
Up in the sky,
Among the stars...
Only...Silence
In the sea,
In people,
In books,
In the cupboards,
In everything around...
Silence.
What is she hiding?
or maybe she wants to say something...
Silence...
You burn my heart,
You dry my soul,
You disintegrate me...
Silence
Do you hear me...?
I am talking to you, Silence!
M.R.
