Since yesterday I have not had electricity service so I could not put up my post on time. I am taking advantage of 40% of my battery to make sure this publication reaches you.
I decided to make this post exclusively about perhaps the most emblematic music album of all time. Due to its intricate and interesting concept, Pink Floyd's The Wall is undoubtedly one of the musical gems of the last century.
I'm not going to talk about the history of this band because it would be another post, I'll just talk about the history of this album.
The story of this album is based on the life of Roger Waters, bassist and vocalist of the group, who spent an eventful childhood full of trauma where the death of his father in the Second World War was the most distinctive feature of his problems.
Then there is the mother who, in a self-protective way, idealized a world for her son without her problems. The thing is that this didn't work well because Roger began to isolate himself from his reality and ended up putting up a wall where not even he himself could leave.
The central person of this masterpiece is Pink, a fictional Rockstar character who was the common thread to talk about these very sensitive topics and who in turn connected with millions of people who lived through perhaps one of the worst wars in history.
Now let's move on to the iconic concert that took place in nothing more and nothing less than in Berlin, just a few meters from the Berlin Wall, which separated Germany into two parts as a result of the political and military occupation after the Second World War and which separated and fragmented Germany. millions of people who were left incommunicado and under siege by military forces that did not understand a country that previously enjoyed territorial freedom.
That wall created mentally in Pink is the reflection of our society. That with or without war keep millions oppressed. With instruments of domination such as education, the church, politics and war. All present to this day in our lives and even more so with the tensions that exist right now in Europe due to a military escalation that will lead Europe again to a war, this time with nuclear consequences.
This was not only conceived as a great commitment to conceptualize a rock album into a masterpiece but also to have a cultural impact with the concert that took place in Berlin.
