Aventura al fin del mundo <strong>2015</strong> - <strong>2016</strong><br />
Musicians that played in Antarctica and lived to tell<br />
FROZEN MELODIES<br />
The White Continent has become a place<br />
of special challenge for artists all over, who<br />
wish they can once play in one of the most<br />
extreme stages of the world.<br />
Freezing finger, uncomfortable clothing, and<br />
being covered head to toes, are just some<br />
of the obstacles that must be dealt with by<br />
musicians with the privilege to play a chord<br />
in Antarctic lands.<br />
Without a doubt, this is one of the most<br />
extreme and eccentric natural stages in the<br />
planet, where sounds and melodies have<br />
a hard time flying through the air without<br />
freezing into silence on the way.<br />
On December of 2013, of the most important<br />
thrash metal bands of the world decided to<br />
suit up and give a very special concert that<br />
was seen by millions.<br />
Thousands of miles from any important<br />
world center, Metallica became one of<br />
the few musical bands to include playing<br />
in Antarctica to their record, doing so on<br />
Carlini Base’s heliport. In this opportunity,<br />
Metallica played inside a dome and the<br />
usual amplification system was replaced<br />
with headphones that each and everyone of<br />
the attendees had to wear, so as to reduce<br />
the sound impact on site.<br />
Thirty years before, Los Jaivas (Chile),<br />
were invited over by a television show,<br />
with the idea to record images for a movie<br />
that never premiered. For this, they played<br />
at King George Island, with temperatures<br />
under -25ºC. In 1981, the musicians also<br />
travelled to Machu Picchu to realize a tv<br />
special with Nobel Literature Prize winner,<br />
Mario Vargas Llosa. Talk about contrasts.<br />
In 2000, Argentinean musician León Gieco<br />
shared his folklore with Base Marambio’s<br />
dotation, and in 2007, as part of the global<br />
mega festival Live Earth, the English Nunatak<br />
marked history by playing outside, in front<br />
of a crowd composed of scientists of Great<br />
Britain’s Rothera station. The band was also<br />
composed of science research men.<br />
Initially, the idea was to send over a famous<br />
band or artist, but given the logistic difficulties<br />
for such endeavor, the organization opted for<br />
giving the “local” group a chance.<br />
Meanwhile, from Punta Arenas, electronic<br />
music duet Lluvia Ácida may beconsidered<br />
a true Antarctic band, dedicating a large<br />
part of their 20 year career to interpreting<br />
the polar imaginery, counting several times<br />
playing live in Antarctica.<br />
Both Metallica and LLUVIA ÁCIDA<br />
flew on board Antarctic Airways’s<br />
BAe 146-200 to reach their cold<br />
destination.<br />
