Ráfaga

Music is something that we need in our daily lives. It helps when you are discouraged and makes you feel happy when you're sad. But not everybody has the same taste in music. In this essay, I'm going to write a short review about the group Ráfaga and a concert I once saw.

Often regarded as one of the most important bands in Latin American music, Ráfaga, were formed in 1994 in Buenos Aires (Argentina). They started to gain popularity when they released their first album "Soplando Fuerte". But it was from 1997 to 1999 when they gained their current international popularity performing in places like USA, South America, Spain, Sweden, Norway and Australia. Finally they reached the peak of their career when Ariel Pachetta left the group and the young heart throb Rodrigo Gonzalo Tapari joined Ráfaga.

Last September, I had the opportunity to attend one of their crowded concerts. There were two concerts before theirs and the atmosphere totally changed when they got onto the stage. The opening act was remarkable because they threw some signed footballs to the audience with the aim of celebrating the World Cup that Spain had just won. The group gave the audience 100% so at the end of the performance they had to play three songs for the encore.
