CADENA PERPETUA w/ NIHILISMO
@ EL TEATRO FLORES, BUENOS AIRES (AR)
OCTOBER 31, 2026
October 31 at Teatro Flores was originally due to be the final date of Cadena Perpetua’s El Club de los Parecidos tour, a 22-show run across Argentina over six weeks.
Nihilismo opened to a substantial crowd that listened and responded. Cadena Perpetua’s fans have always supported opening acts, and that respect was evident again.
A few minutes before 9PM, teenagers, longtime followers, and children with their parents were gathering inside: three generations brought together by the same songs. The atmosphere was already special. Some people knew each other; others exchanged knowing looks across the room.
The opening chord of “Violencia” still does what it always has: it tells you exactly where you are and why you came. It was one of those moments that needed no introduction.
For nearly two hours, Cadena Perpetua played a long, powerful set, drawing on established favourites, songs becoming classics, and material from the new untitled album, often called El Disco Negro. “Si Me Ves,” “NN Un Jubilado,” “Como Poder,” “I Wanna Destroy You,” and “Panorama” all received enormous responses. The band sounded tight and confident from start to finish.
Hernán “Vala” Valente (guitar and vocals), Eduardo “Edu” Graziadei (bass and backing vocals), Damián “Chino” Biscotti (drums), and Santiago “Sam” Almeida (guitar) played with the chemistry of musicians who rehearse together every day. Valente and Biscotti live in Europe, yet the distance was impossible to hear. The performance never lost its precision or force.
The people in front of them were just as important to the night. Across Cadena Perpetua’s catalogue, different songs deal with love, heartbreak, hope, despair, anger, and daily struggles. They speak to different experiences, allowing people of all ages to recognise themselves in the lyrics. This is music that makes room for anyone who finds something of their own life in it.
At one point, Valente asked, “What would we do without you?” The question captured a connection that clearly goes both ways. Many bands lose some closeness as their audiences grow. Cadena Perpetua seems to keep expanding the family without losing that bond.
A final show has now been added for Nov. 6 at Groove, with affordable admission and an invitation to bring food and a toy in good condition for those in need. The band is using another concert to offer practical help, with its audience taking part. That commitment matters as much as the music.
All of this is another reminder of why this music, through bands like Cadena Perpetua, will never die and will always be a force for a better society.
