The decision # to carry out this concert in streaming was made well in advance, thinking about the right moment, and taking care of all the audiovisual and musical details. And when the Wizink Center appeared on the scene, they realized that this was the perfect place to do it.
Simón maintains that “the Lost Bullets tour was beautiful in part because as it began, until it ended, the show varied, the show grew, things were added, we realized what we could do better.”

What they are most proud of is the production and the good feeling that the recording left them. “Doing something like this requires a very important infrastructure and planning, people, art direction, lighting. A great team that made it possible for this concert to finally be on Amazon Prime Video ”, says Juan Pablo Villamil, guitarist for the Colombian group.
Martín Vargas, drummer and chorus girl, comments: “The Madrid concert was the last physical stop the tour had. In the end, I feel that this is like giving him other wings to see how far he can go ”.
“Excited”, the four members of this pop group shout in chorus, referring to their sensation at the launch of their streaming concert. “For example – Simón Vargas mentions – I found several of my top series on Amazon Prime Video, so thinking that we are going to be at that level of content generates a lot of emotion”.

Morat, who with his songs arouses strong emotions among his listeners, who sing them loudly, affirms that when they explain where these songs come from and how they are born, people feel identified. “They tell us, ‘How they wrote this song, that’s exactly what is happening to me.’ That happens to us a lot, and we love that it happens to us. And I think that all that is going to be felt in the concert, no matter how digital, ”says Isaza.
With this proposal, the spectators will be able to have an approach to what this concert was live and in person. However, Being a proposal that goes a step beyond music, it will be able to offer other possibilities and elements that are not given live. “In this concert you are going to see a close-up of Isaza, a close-up of Martín doing his solo. I feel like the ability to edit the video and tell people, ‘At this point in the song, the coolest thing to watch is this, or at this point the coolest thing is this.’ I feel that this curatorship of knowing where to look is something that doesn’t happen in the live stage, ”explains Simón.

For them, according to Juan Pablo Isaza, “the biggest challenge is the nerves that are supposed to be recording us while we play. You always know that they are recording it because people take out their cell phones, but it is different that there is a camera and that there is a whole production infrastructure. You can do whatever you have been doing perfect all your life, but if they put a camera in front of you, you act differently ”.
To the above, Simón adds that it is also the fact that it is the first time they have recorded a concert., which forced them to see and find out how it was done. “These are things that we had to do for the first time, so I feel that the challenge was also to be up to the task, to try to do that as pro as possible.”
The musicians see this as an opportunity to show the audience, and especially their fans, an approach to what their live concerts can be so that they can attend when they can be performed in person again.

“What is certain is that if you have not gone to the Lost Bullets tour, the only way you have to see this concert is on the platform,” says Simón.
It is a concert made for lovers and most loyal fans of Morat, but also for all those who want to listen to music that “makes their skin crawl and makes them feel adrenaline,” describe Isaza and Villamil.
