Tercer Mundo returns to the physical stages with ‘Teatros Tour’; the group performs at the Sucre Theater in Quito

20 months. That is how long they have been away from physical settings and the public, as a result of the pandemic. And this Friday, after this mandatory break, the Ecuadorian group Third World take back your shows face-to-face with the first concert of their tour Tour theaters.

This Friday, the Sucre Theater in Quito, from 7:30 p.m. It will be the starting point of the actions that the brothers plan to offer in the remainder of the year. Juan Manuel, Felipe and Daniel Jácome, members and founders of the group that began its artistic activity in 1988.

“The theaters are super-apparent spaces for concerts because they already have the space given, the permits given, the infrastructure. And we do concerts everywhere except in the theaters and it would be cool, we said, to do something in the theaters, not a play because we are not actors, but to have a concert and make it more sober and calm, we want people to see, with more scenography and we have had that idea for a long time. We had planned this before the pandemic and, ending the pandemic, Top Shows made us the proposal and we agreed to do it. This is the first concert of a tour that we are still developing ”, Felipe explains about the tour.

Felipe emphasizes that this first episode (show) It is the one that will set the tone for the rest of the presentations in theaters (which are yet to be realized in the rest of the cities). “Ecuador has few large theaters, some medium and others small. It is not a very attractive figure for entrepreneurs because the space is much smaller and we are developing a scheme to see exactly how we organize ourselves ”, he adds.

The Quito musician emphasizes that one of the best gifts that this profession gives to artists is to be part of the ‘soundtrack of the history of life ‘of his followers, that is, that his songs, his compositions are amalgamated with the memories and experiences of each of the generations that have supported them during his career.

“Beyond what the lyrics say, having been a participant in the process, but in composition, recording, rehearsals and everything that was around each song makes each one of them be power that is important, but there are songs like Fall asleep next to me For example, that it has a background that people don’t know, the story behind the song and what the song says, the lyrics and how we recorded it and everything that happened to it, it’s a real part of my life, and that we know has been important to many people as well. The little cards, if you said They are important and there are also many songs that have not been promoted and are not known and that have been very important to us and that have served to leverage processes. So, for example, we have Underwear (2000) which is a song that no one knows, that we have not played in concert and we are going to play it in theaters. The shows in theaters they will allow us to do that, to play the well-known and less promoted songs that we will bring to the scene and that deserve their space ”, explains the singer. It is precisely for him, Fall asleep next to me one of the vital singles in the band’s career.

At show This Friday, November 26, they will have as a guest the musician Pablo Mora, who was the bassist of the Quito group in its beginnings. “He is no longer part of the band, but we get along well and we love him a lot and we wanted to invite him to play with us that night and we are also going to sing some songs composed by Pablo and that he sings and that have been part of the Third World records and is going to present a new song from a project of his, a great song called The sea”, mentions.

Tercer Mundo recently presented a trilogy of songs. The first L.O.S.E.R.; the second is titled She lost and the last one I get myself out. “These songs are already on Spotify and the one we are promoting is called I get myself out

“It is a reality that must be lived with and it has always been that way, when rock & roll appears, the music that sounded before has to be questioned and it is normal and necessary and I believe that the fact that the Third World is active, we are composing and we have deliberately tried not to close the walls of a given style, rather for the sake of experimenting, as we started and testing, maintaining that freedom allows us to approach this new and unknown thing that is the urban, but it is not the enemy, they are new textures that are at our disposal the same (… = If we see ourselves doing some fusion, but I don’t think we sound good (in urban genres), you have to have it in your blood to make it sound good and there are those who have it and it’s fine The time that we began to chase the market and transform ourselves and disguise ourselves as something that we are not, first that it shows and second that it does not work “, Felipe Jácome, musician and member of Third World.
