Fito Páez extended his El amor 30 años después del amor tour last year with a 16 December concert at the Estadio UNO – Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi in Buenos Aires where 54 Claypaky Sharpy Plus fixtures enhanced the energy on stage.
The tour marked the 30th anniversary of Páez’s breakout album, El amor despues del amor. In 1992, the artist sold more than 750,000 copies of the album and played sold-out concert dates. Fast forward three decades, he drew sell-out crowds to a commemorative tour from Gonna Go! Producciones which began in 2022. During the tour’s first year on the road, Páez played shows in South America and the US, later expanding the tour to include additional South American countries as well as Canada and Europe.
Lighting Designer, Gaspar Potocnik selected a large complement of Claypaky Sharpy Plus fixtures from rental house Técnica Vidal to enhance the design. “The Sharpy Plus stands out for its versatility, colorimetry, motorisation and aperture range. It produces a beam or spot that facilitates multiple uses making them a very interesting tool to operate,” said Agustín ‘Coqui’ Poblete, Lighting Technician at Técnica Vidal.
The company also furnished the local lighting crew, which included Poblete, Gustavo Porollan, Daniel Toledo, José Gutiérrez and Darío Gil with support from Mauricio Brando is Claypaky’s Area Sales Manager for Latin America. Macaio Argentina is the exclusive distributor of Claypaky lighting in Argentina.
