He was one of the most anticipated concerts and now aims to be one of the concerts of the year. System of a Down He stepped on Lima for the first time and lit the most exciting pogos of the intermittent rock history in the country.

The band led in La Voz for SERJ Tankian started the show with their legs up. “X”, from the iconic album Toxicityhe gave free rein to the general euphoria. “Suite-Pee”, from the 1998 homonym, and “Prison Song”, again of the Toxicitycontinued to raise the temperature of a crowded national stage. “Aerials” closed this fate of first devastating and emotional block of the group that uncovered brains when it reached popularity in Peru thanks to the MTV chain, at the beginning of the century. “Aerials” lowered the speed, but raised nostalgia.
Another peak moment of the night was when guitarist Daron Malakian announced “Bunce” and practically called Pogo. And the song broke out with that foolish vertigo that they have to elaborate what was called alternative metal bathed with tines of Armenian influence.
If Malakian was sinister and histrionic, Tankian, rather, went through the serene and even smiling stage. On the bass, the carimastic Shavo Odadjian moved the public to pleasure.

And of course, the next summit was “Toxicity”, the penultimate song of more than 30 over two hours. In the National Stadium court, fans of fans pogueando around flags were drawn, only comparable to concerts of bands such as Panther in Chile or almost any stadium rocker night in Argentina.
If Lima was always pointed out as a cold square (in attitude) for rock, what happened on Sunday night was a genuine and vibrant expression of the rocker, as rarely (perhaps the first?) We have seen in these parts.
As a climax, the last pogo was lived in the street. Iván Oviedo, the quenista of the concerts, stopped in the middle of the Jirón Saco Oliveros track and with the talent that characterized him interpreted – which in hand – the successes of System of a Down. Around, once again, fans interpreted – this time – a noble pogo.
