El desayuno más exquisito


"Breakfast in America" es el disco más conocido y vendido por los súper vagabundos o Supertramp, banda creada en el '70 (Reino Unido) que transitó la década con varios cambios en su formación original pero que en realidad fueron recambios, porque poco importaba el contexto cuando en el centro de la escena estaban ellos: Rick Davies y Roger Hodgson. El ying y el yang de esta formación. Cantantes, músicos, compositores, socios, amigos. Hicieron que el plural se transformara en singular. Entonces ellos dos pasaron a ser uno. Y alineados en cuerpo y alma decidieron desayunar en América.




Corría el año '79 y de esta amalgama musical surgió su sexto álbum. Disco cien por ciento Supertramp. El inconfundible sonido que se transformó en Greatest Hits a través del tiempo.
El comienzo con "Gone Hollywood" y a partir de allí, una maravillosa sucesión de vocalizaciones entre Rick Davies y la inconfundible voz de Roger Hodgson.
Con cuatro temas bailados por muchos. Y más también. Verdaderos himnos musicales como "The logical song", "Goodbye stranger", "Take a long weay home" y "Breakfast in America".




Un susurro al oído con "Casual conversations", "Oh darling" o "Lord is it mine". Y el cierre, con una de las mejores y menos conocidas de sus canciones: "Child of vision".
Estos vagabundos lograron lo que pocos: un refinado talento para las melodías pop y construcciones complejas, con un limitado uso de guitarras sustituidas magistralmente por varios teclados y el saxo de J. Helliwell.




Un LP intenso que lo mismo se podía disfrutar tranquilamente mientras leías un libro que alocadamente mientras la cabeza te daba vueltas. El álbum se ubicó como suspiro en el N°1 del Top Ten americano y en el tercer puesto del inglés. Y hasta hoy lleva vendidas nada más ni nada menos que 18 millones de copias en todo el mundo. Y se sigue vendiendo. Dato curioso para un LP modelo '79.


Época de vinilos. Y de arte en las tapas. Algunas inolvidables, como ésta, con Mikel Doud como culpable y una generosa camarera estilo americano como cómplice en lugar de la estatua de la libertad canjeando un jugo de naranja por la famosa antorcha y, de fondo, una panorámica de Manhattan con vajilla de confitería cual edificios. Y las Torres Gemelas imitadas por cajas de cereales apiladas. Riqueza visual observada cómodamente desde la ventanilla de un avión. Verdadero trabajo artesanal en tiempos en que el Photoshop era una ilusión. Semejante boom resultó una inmejorable excusa para "París", álbum doble en vivo aparecido en 1980, cuando la sociedad ya estaba disociada.
Corría el año 1979 cuando aquellos músicos cambiaron para siempre sus vidas con un "Desayuno en América". El más exquisito.

  3. I think everything posted was actually very logical. But, think on this, suppose you added a little content?
    I am not suggesting your content is not good., but suppose
    you added a title that grabbed folk's attention? I mean "El desayuno m�s exquisito" is a little plain. You could peek at Yahoo's front page and note how they create news
    headlines to grab people interested. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get
    readers interested about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it might make your blog a little livelier.
