Hearing the news of Ai George’s passing brings back nostalgic memories. The first time I heard
his music live was during my student days. I was invited by a friend to see a performance, and I remember feeling quite nervous since it was my first live show.
My First Live Performance
When I arrived at the venue, I got there a bit early and felt a bit tense. I sat in a seat towards the front, and while waiting for the show to start, I could hear the conversations of the audience around me. Everyone seemed to be excited about Ai George, and the anticipation filled the air. As the start time approached, the venue buzzed with excitement, and the tension grew. The moment he appeared on stage, the entire venue erupted with energy. Ai George’s voice was stronger than I had imagined and resonated deeply. His performance of “Bara ga Saita” is something I will never forget. His expressiveness and passion transformed the atmosphere completely. In my youth, I found Latin music challenging, but looking back now, I realize that there was a unique charm in his singing.
