'Now and here, I love you': Mishima and his fans celebrate their love story on another Sant Jordi day.

BarcelonaIn a Paloma room endowed with romantic character thanks to a light purple mist. The Night of the Roses Promoted by Mishima, this event has reached its third edition, confirming the evening as one of the new Sant Jordi traditions in Barcelona. The music and poetry festival attracted couples, groups of friends, and especially fans of David Carabén's band. The singer acknowledged at the start of the evening that he could spot familiar faces in the audience. "I recognize many of you, and I know you've seen us a bit too often. It's nice that you're coming today, since Barça is also playing," said Carabén, unable to avoid mentioning the club he loves, which was playing against Mallorca that evening.

The Night of the Roses has reminded us that poets can also be rock stars, or at least that is what it seemed like when Enric Casasses appeared on stage and received a resounding applause that was on par with that which accompanied Carabén's presentation. An atmosphere of a certain spring-like effervescence created a kind of constant noise that, at times, was almost disrespectful to the poets and writers. Maria Sevilla, with the reading of pieces by The oviparous night, has managed to calm the audience's frenzy, which in some cases seemed more interested in talking about the Easter holidays than in listening to the artists. After Raül Garrigasait, Irene Pujades closed a literary segment that, for many, seemed to be simply a prelude to what they were really waiting for: Mishima's performance.

The band started the concert with a song with a literary touch, The Book of LoveThe relationship between Mishima and his fans is a solid love story, one of those that makes you want to call your heart out, even though the years have passed. And that's precisely what the fans did when they chanted "I'm just as in love with you as before," the return of As beforeThis has been the tone of the concert: the voices of the audience have accompanied Carabén's practically throughout the entire night, whether singing the simple and deeply romantic True, clear and brief or the always euphoric ones You will tremble again and The shape of a sense. Throughout its history, Mishima has had the ability to weave themes, such as The afternoon explodes either Who loves the most, which are anthems for a generation approaching or over forty, who give their all at every concert as if their lives depended on it. A dedication that, incidentally, helped smooth out some minor sound issues that forced the performance to be halted for a few minutes.

The Night of the Roses He has not only sung about romantic love. This year it has become more evident than ever that love transcends the constraints of a relationship. sentimental and the band He made it clear by performing live for the first time. HdHFMD, version of Bad Bunny's DtMF, dedicated to Marc Lloret, the band's keyboardist who passed away last February from cancer. If the Puerto Rican artist's song is a lament for wasted time with a loved one, Mishima's version is a letter of longing for a friend and companion who left us too soon. The return of the song sums it up perfectly: "We should have made more albums, played in more venues, played many more songs at festivals, big parties, and barbecues." "We've been through a very difficult time, but we've been rebuilding ourselves chino-xano. And today we're doing what Marc would have wanted us to do," Carabén confessed.
