Dear Radiohead band,
I live in Mexico, in a small town called La Paz, very near from Los Cabos, but very different of it. Well, last Saturday on April 22th, five good local musicians presented a tribute to Radiohead. 20 months ago, this project united them just because they wanted to study and play your music, the favorite music for this five. Well, it was a great night, was the first time in the city that we watched a show like this.
I’ve been in your concerts in Mexico City, on 2009 and last year. I can tell you that I felt the same vibe, feeling and emotions in the tribute last saturday. Radiohead’s heart was here that night and it felt so great, even some people who didn’t know about your music, they enjoyed that moment a lot. (You know, like moms, dads and grandparents).
I learned something about that night: your music is beyond yourselfs, is not Thom, Colin, Jonnhy, Ed Phil… it’s Radiohead, and Radiohead can be anywhere, no matter what. So, thank you so much for inspire people, for inspire us. In addition to the concert, this tribute event inspired different local artists to create graphics, videos, take pictures, write about it, etcetera… all around your music, celebrate it, honor it.
We love your music, so much.
I Hope you can watch and listen what we lived that night, in a small theater, of a small town in Mexico… very far far away from the big city, but close to the sea.
You are here, forever.
Greetings from La Paz, Baja California Sur, México.
