“When I was 14 years old Divided I was going to play at the Teatro de Verano and I really wanted to go but the ticket was completely out of my possibilities”, thus begins the exciting story of Ernesto Tabárezthe musician who went viral and even received a response from the so-called rock steamroller.
The western band has generated passion for decades and the case of the musician Tabárez is no exception: In a Twitter thread, he told how he managed to meet all the members of Divididos at the age of 14 and now, this Saturday, he will be playing on the same stage, but with his band Los Problems.
“I found out that the night before they were going to some kind of late show that Petinatti was doing on TV, so with all the excitement of seeing them play there I put on my Hendrix shirt and went to the Canal door,” Ernesto Tabárez narrated. in a memory that moved the entire social network.
“In the end, only Mollo had gone and obviously they didn’t play there (better because they didn’t let me in either). After midnight Mollo came out kindly greeting the people at the reception and when he saw me he gave a beautiful smile What are you doing here Jimi Hendrix?he continued.
The story continues with the young Ernesto telling Mollo the situation and the leader of the band asking his manager to credit him. But the next day Ernesto was not on the list: “I can still feel that discomfort,” he recalled.
Finally, the manager not only made him enter the show, but backstage: “Suddenly I was in the back of the summer theater talking to Ricardo about guitars, he showed me his Les Paul, I told him that I had an old Faim SG on loan that was very bad and he replied “all the guitars are beautiful”.
At that moment, little Ernesto gave Mollo a valuable Jimi Hendrix T-shirt: “I never saw Divididos again, but that night they left a mark on me. Tomorrow 25 years later, the band I built plays a little earlier, on the same stage as Divided”, he concluded.
The story of the leader of Los Problems immediately gained notoriety and the finishing touch came with the response from the official Divided account. “A happy ending”, summarized Ernesto Tabárez.
