Zinatra in Uruguay

The wonderful, kitsch 80's were good times for bands like Poison, Bon Jovi or other metal heads postal problems with the shampoo and cream rinse. In any other decade, their outfits ridiculous metrosexual care and hair in defiance of the law of gravity had caused the greatest sense of ridiculous, but at that colorful era, for reasons to study, were booming and had commercial success.

In the radios, they heard a few samples of this metal ochentoso with false whiff of glamor, with plenty of bands who wanted to sneak a hit taking advantage of the breaker. One was Zinatra, a Dutch group that had been hit with the theme "Looking for Love." The success was such that Philips decided to hire them to promote their new sound system "Moving Sound" (a kind of huge portable cassette players that were brought to the shoulder), on tour throughout South America with the promotional theme song

Advertising Zinatra effect amplified to infinity, so that in the late 80s in Uruguay the song sounded even in the sets of the novels. When Philips Zinatra brought to the country, even they had to understand what was happening, they were greeted with total fanaticism for an audience that really was not sure who they were. The Zinatra, with all its cliches and beauty musical in tow, went through an excited crowd at the airport and paraded as a medium could.
Uruguay in a dictatorship that had left a few years ago was a small scandal hair, a rarity that he had to show. Were in Declaegrón and also Channel 12, with a theatrical performance in which an abundance of exaggerated gestures and slashed jeans. The best, however, came when Philips decided to make a big free concert to show their ambassadors live sound.

With free entry into the forecourt of Montevideo Shopping, Zinatra concert, a crowd varied, composed of housewives, young groupies, curious and some frequenters of the music.

The problem was that Zinatra, perhaps assuming that they were native to South America dazzled by technology, the playback was more shameful to remember in the country.

Some recall that was not even a battery itself, causing at first a sense of disbelief. The public needed five minutes to recover from the impression. After that, the audience decided to enforce their rights as consumers of the most direct way possible: with stones, bottles and other sharp objects that you find in the vicinity of shopping (eg, oranges, and can be used).

The scene Zinatra down in a hail of vegetables and bottles, not understanding that the public was so outraged by the simple fact that they sold their soul to accept a multinational company and do anything for money. The Dutch, who until then were in heaven, they left without understanding anything. Just over her could hear from them after the tour ended. Cosmic justice, they say.

The images reveal offer Zinatra happy moments in Uruguay: its action Teledoce, arrival at the airport and signs of fanaticism in the heart. The bottles, however, remain only in the emotional memory of those who attended this glorious day of 1989.
