"Your love will remain here forever": Space Ibiza closes in style
We partied for 19 hours. Here's what happened
7 Rhythim Is Rhythim 'Strings Of Life'
Our last trip outside to the car park ever, a weird thought but we couldn't not go and see Alfredo play outside. A man who sums up everything that's good about the island, a man whose musical legacy has and will live always live on in Ibiza. Behind him the LED walls have been turned off and the soundsystem lowered. The maddening visuals have been replaced with some simple text:
"27 years have been brief, to remember and dream about them is forever. Being with all of you has meant everything. Thank You." (tissues time)
Poignant words at a time when Ibiza is at a real crossroads but the show must go on and Alfredo was our man. We weren't disappointed with anything until now. Arguably the only error in the programming, Alfredo shouldn't have been in an arena so big after Carl Cox. Everyone has piled back inside leaving poor Alfredo playing to a crowd of 50 people.
The sound is lowered significantly and it feels like a disservice to a man who's given Ibiza so much. Regardless of this, the die-hard fans outside really appreciated who they were watching. 'Yeke Yeke' by Mory Kante, 'Show Me Love' by Robin S and of course 'Rhythim Is Rhythim' are all played and it felt good. A bit of a shame but a lot of fun anyway. If Alfredo's smiling, so are we, and boy was he smiling.
