Queen
The first time I knew there was a group called Queen was when I went to my teenage friend Paco's house. It would be the year 82, when on one occasion we were in his house I saw in the room on his wall the poster of Queen of the four faces in overhead light that are the cover of the album "Bohemian Rhapsody". I was struck by the polyphony I used when listening to the album, I had never heard anything like that, on a rock album.
Another moment of "meeting" with Queen was in '86, when we organized the Disco Festival at the Almenara Club for another year. Groups of boys performed on the stage of the auditorium doing play-back. I do not remember what I presented, was it "The Woman in Red" by Stevie Wonder?, but I do remember the recently released "The Kind of Magic", which my friend Pedro took, and danced with his companions. What memories!
And then, always in the car, Queen, at full volume.
Yesterday we were 6 teachers with 136 students to the cinema to see "Bohemian Rhapsody". Maybe the tape would be sweetened so that it could be seen as a family, and avoid the rough and tumble of Fredy Mercury's life, but the essence of Queen was not distorted: his music.
It is difficult to find quality live music outside the classroom. In the Sierra Almenara We always look for the concert, the contact with the interpreter, the direct one. Making music brings such satisfaction for the spirit that we can not miss the opportunity. This fleeting art of making music, that is lost with silence and that springs back when playing an instrument, (from the past - a viola de gamba- or the present -an electric guitar- or from another culture - a gamelan), a A refined voice, a chorus of Renaissance music or a Mongolian diphonic chant, or even the Australian digest, make us "touch" happiness. This way we want to teach our students to improve emotionally and socially.
This movie puts you inside a rock concert, and it removes the entrails. You see the band composing and it moves you. The music of Queen, who handles all the records -sometimes thunderous, sometimes sensitive and others rebellious- responds to an era, but perhaps because of the great communicative power of her music, it is current and continues to make the listener vibrate.
The film offers a flick of the band's history and offers mostly music, lots of music. An infinite love of music. In that sense, even if we are not in a round movie, just for the pleasure of being able to listen to Queen on a big screen is worth it. The film in many moments more than cinema is a concert, and what a concert!
