Bon Vivant – Directo Arena (Live from Madrid) 2017


In the tumultuous times that run for music is at least admirable the courage of the artists who continue to release albums and DVDs. A good example of this is this delivery of absolute direct from the Bon Vivant locals, where they unequivocally show that the melodic Hard Rock is still alive, it still has a lot to say, it still likes and continues to attract audiences.

Al son de tus alas
Calíope
Poquito a poco
Un poco de ti.
Soy
La penúltima
Darlo todo
Volver a creer
Si somos dos
Ahora que no estás
Aun estás cerca
I want it that way
No hay estribillos en Madrid
Soy el rock
Living on a prayer
Felicidad
