Por ahora, disfruten mi traducción de este artículo sobre el concierto de Air Supply en la Ciudad de Pachuca en México.

Hello again!

OK , OK I know... It just seemed that I had abandoned this blog and it was turned into a graveyard web page. You were wrong. Here I am to publish some new stuff and to talk about some old but important stuff.
Enjoy this article - interview about Air Supply's concert it Pachuca (Mexico)

Energy and romanticism with Air Supply. By Linda Avalos unomásuno-Hidalgo - Translation by Alen Klaad

More than to provide air, the famous Briton-Australian duo Air Supply came to create a cyclone in the Drop of Silver, by offering a concert that captivated the hidalguense audience with their great charisma and humility. In one close relation with their followers, and in an intimate atmosphere they sang themes like "All Out Of Love" and "Every Woman In The World", which made arise feelings of nostalgia in the memory of the then adolescents of the 80's. Compositions that find in love their reason to be and that built a style that has given the duo the fidelity of the fans. Air Supply, "the air provision", is more than ignited with new ideas, energy, talent and with extremely talented musicians that made the audience vibrate with the sweetest ballads.
It was really surprising when in a moment of the concert they descended of the scene to be embraced, kissed and even pinched by members of the feminine audience, who did not allow their return to the scene. It was madness, people turned towards them with cellphones and cameras in hand to take a memorable picture. Between nerves and a tear or two because of having them so close, the audience finally allowed them to return to the stage. When seeing such an answer from the audience, Graham invited the people at the farthest places to approach to the stage and sing along with them the tune that took them to success, "Lost In Love". People asked for more, and they, with the energy of teenagers sang and danced until they pleased the audience who met to be part of the most applauded concert to this day in the city of Pachuca. Some VIP personalities attended the show such as the governor's wife, Laura Vargas, who enjoyed the event to the utmost, in spite of the fatigue of a long journey at work, as well as the secretary of Tourism, Gerald Spínola, who was accompanied by his sweet wife singed along each one of the songs of the group.

In exclusive interview for Unomásuno-Hidalgo, Air Supply commented that soon will be
launched their new recording material with the title of "Zed", there will be themes like
"This Time", "Our love", "Save the world", "It's Over Now" among others, although they did
not specify which will be first single of this production.

- UNOMASUNOHIDALGO: What genre is going to be included in this new album, are you going to continue making ballads?
- Graham: It is going to be totally different from which you are used to hear from us, it's
going to be a mixed album.
- U: How do you renew yourselves in the taste of the new generation that hears new
musical tendencies?
- Rusell: We listen everything, we use those new musical technologies to be up-to-date and tried to go with the present to please the fans.
- U: Are you going to be on tour the rest of this season?
- Graham: As matter of fact we've been in different parts of the world and closed the season in Mexico, and sincerely we are in love with this country, since you have treated us always very well. We leave at the end of the year to spend time with our families this Christmas.
- U: Any member of the family in the playing in the band?
- Graham: No, we are just friends, we don't have family in the band. They are just
musicians (Smiles).
- U: Which was the reason why in your first visit to this city cancelled the
concert?
- Graham: It wasn't really in us, but the people who contracted the sound equipment, or rather the power generator, since it was connected at a mistaken voltage, on the other hand
it was too dangerous to play, we could have been electric shocked.
- U: Why did you took so much time in returning to Pachuca after the problem
you had in this city?
- Graham: What happens is that we cannot change the dates so fast, since They are programmed with 2 years of anticipation and is difficult to change them, really.
- U: Would you like to send some message in this Christmas season?
- Russell: I'd only wish that, in this season, they reflect and unite and forgive each
other.
- Graham: A greeting to all the people of Pachuca, and may this Christmas fulfill their
wishes.
