Last year, we did a very historical run with Cavalera Conspiracy, in South and Central America. Alex Palaia took us on our voyage to Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Columbia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Mexico. The brothers were the first Metal act to crush the borders and play in these countries of Central America. There is always a mad frenzy, as the fans catch their first glimpse of the brothers. Believe me, my Students, I have seen many a grown man cry at this sight! Sitting on that road case, on stage left, I decided that this Roots run would become a reality, enough reminiscing! Let's DO this!
I texted their booking agent and asked if he thought it would be something people would be interested in. He said he would ask around. After the show, I mentioned it to Max and Iggor, who seemed cool with it. On tour, Max always does a generous amount of press. It took him no time to let the cat out of the bag!! Within 3 days, I was flooded with email, messages and phone calls from people asking if it was true.
Now, some months later, the dates are being booked. The guys are getting ready to rehearse. All is good in Cavalera Land! This will only be a short run; a "get it while it's hot" tour. If you blink you may miss it! It's not something you will see often. Don't be shy! Return to your Roots!!! We are.....
Class dismissed........
