I don't know how else to say this, perhaps the simplest way is best: on Saturday night, I saw one of the performances of my life. I sang, I cried, I applauded, I reflected on my purpose, prayed for my departed, and yearned for what I have yet to do, the songs I haven't heard, and the books I haven't read. At the Tivoli theatre, I was moved by Sílvia Perez Cruz, a Catalan of the world, a total artist, and the voice that has touched me more than any other. Sílvia Perez Cruz is a diva. I saw her on Saturday night in Lisbon, but I travelled through Montmartre and the brothels of Pigalle; I felt the Catalan rumba and fado, samba and MPB, the Cuban habanera and flamenco, gospel and the Sagrada Família, the despair of Fassbinder and the hope of Tati. Sílvia is not just an extraordinary singer; she is an actress, poet, confidante, conductor, composer, choreographer, and dancer. She is angel and sin, intimacy and utopia, revolution and affection, rage and love. Seeing her so close, listening to her songs and the empathy she shares with her audience and musicians, is a tender, wild, and risky journey—risky because we might lose ourselves, suffocating from such beauty, even when we are saddened, as if her voice were spring and autumn, wild hope and profound melancholy. Sílvia carries the fatalism of Piaf, Amália, or Cesária, combined with the mystical joy of Bethânia and the virtuosity of Fitzgerald. If I could say this differently, I would. Let it remain this way, just between us. A secret I share. A marvel, a spell, an earthquake that shakes everything we once took for granted.

But it was above all to the vast rainbow of psychedelic pop that the audience dedicated their affection, receiving vows of love from the Australian.
