Serj Tankian, one of the revelations of 2007, with a fantastic solo album 'Elect the Dead', was stopping his tour two days in Moscow. It must have been weird for him. A lonely American-Armenian guy at the middle of the evil Mother Russia.
That's why, perhaps, the beginning of the concert was so...normal. The sound didn't help him to feel comfortable as the instruments were covering his voice, the voice of freedom, the voice of hope. And then, something happened. He did not move much more, he did not shout much more...he just took his time to enchant the audience with his nice manners. With his left hand waving in the air (like Charles Aznavour, Armenian style), he gave the tempo to the people to join him in his trip.
The end was incredible. He was smiling to a new world, gently asking Bush to leave the place as soon as possible. Yes, that's right. Serj is a gentleman.
