Alright Ghandi’s concert was the
perfect one for a grey, misty late afternoon in Porto. The Berlin based trio
presented their sophomore album Somewhere Else. Somewhere Else is an album
filled with gentle pop songs, at times a little melancholic. Life it translates
into a much more upbeat, rock sound with with a jazz undertones, thanks to
Dominick Gray’s breaks and rhythms.
If on record Rosa Mercedes' voice
is evocative of Laura Veirs one, life it projects a different vibe, still
remaining gentle, but also, at times, cheerful. And cheerfulness, even, at a
point, Rosa said she wasn’t in a good mood – broke by the audience liveliness and
joy, was not missing in Alright Ghandi’s concert.
Her bass, along with Pietro
Fornara’s guitar, as well as his backing vocals, allow for a layered colourful mosaic
of music. Towards the end, the mood in the room was so bright with people
dancing and clapping that Rosa and Pietro come and played from the audience facing
Dominick, and having as much as a time good time as anyone else in the room.
