Because of my stepdaughter's love for Tyler the Creator, I watched his show in Lollapalooza Chile last night and I can tell you, I am shocked: this guy, totally alone on an empty (and huge) stage, rapping, singing and dancing -again, alone- in front of a sea of thousands of people during almost 1 and a half hour... What a personality! Charming, sympathetic, and talented, he was in absolute control of the show, and capable of maintaining a performance on his own: no dancers, no band, no overloaded visuals.. just a tight and simple light show (very good btw) and basic and minimalist visuals; most of all, screens showing him.

Maybe I'm not a fan of his music (this is the first time I hear it), but I can say that -for a more traditional born in the 80s like me- it's really something: an alternative sound, contemporary, with rythm and ambient violent changes, unexpected transitions, and a strange unique mixing of genres like hip hop, r&b, and even heavier and more distorted ones, I don't know if it reminds me of a lot of different music or of nothing I've ever heard before. I definitely will check out his discography.

This guy could be confident, but he felt the latinamerican warm... he barely could speak through a wild screaming crowd the whole concert. He showed moved and thankful. At one point he even silenced the crowd by shouting "Shut up!" so he could speak in peace 🤣 People was euphoric. I'm sure if he comes back there will be several sold-out shows. You can watch the show on Lollapalooza Chile's Youtube channel.
