Thursday night we drove past the airport to Vicente Fernandez's ranch where the KEANE concert was held. Since there are only 6 regular ChiliCat readers, I assume half of you know who Vicente Fernandez is but just in case you don't, he's a very famous Mexican singer - estilo ranchero (my mexican mama and most in her age group own his records and love VF). So, VF owns a lot of land outside of Guadalajara and created a new concert coliseum just outside of town on his ranch. Yes! On his ranch and he has a big ole' house there too.
Back to Keane:
The Kene concerted attracted every young person in Guadalajara. It was a big show and the crowd was going crazy for Keane. Most musical acts automatically go to D.F. and not Guadalajara so when a band does come here to play the people are beyond ecstatic.
We went to the show because we wanted to catch a concert before we return to the Bay Area. And while I'm not a huge fan of Keane and Daniel didn't even know who they were, we really enjoyed the show and the music. I think they made a full on fan out of Daniel and I will definitely download a few songs. The best line was when the lead singer said, "it's fiesta time in Guadalajara" and the crowd kept screaming in utter Beatlemania hysteria.
It was cool.
