A total of twenty-four beam Platinum BX moving heads offer spectacular lighting effects on the tour of the Mexican band La Trakalosa, composed of twenty musicians who combine traditional country music with rock.

La Trakalosa Band, composed of twenty musicians from the North of Mexico, offers a varied musical style that mixes influences from traditional Mexican music and rock that have made it one of the most popular groups in the country., to the point of giving concerts last year in large spaces, like the Arena Monterrey stadium, with capacity for 17.000 personas .

In these great spaces, The band's technical team has trusted the lighting technology of Elation (commercially represented in Spain by visualsvisuals), and specifically in their Platinun BX moving heads to offer spectacular Beam-type lighting effects during their concerts..

“Elation Platinum BX is a fundamental part of the lighting design for Banda La Trakalosa's concerts in large venues - explains Edson Rivera., company manager Adimsa, which has supplied the lighting equipment for this tour.. When it comes to concerts for more than 10.000 people seeks to increase the effects and spectacularity of the production, and that visual impact is possible with this moving head”.

With a band made up of twenty professionals, it is difficult to carry out the production design for the stage, and that is why musicians frequently stand at two heights for concerts, like the one recently held at the Monterrey Arena, in which the lighting designers of this band, Víctor Barajas and Armando Gutiérrez, used twenty-four Platinum BX units installed on both sides of the two stage heights and on several truss structures positioned transversely above the stage.

As the head of Adimsa explains, “The band plays in front of an LED video screen at both stage heights and this means that there is a high level of luminosity in this space during the concerts.”. At first we thought of using a Beam type moving head with lower luminosity, but I recommended the tour technical team to choose Elation Platinum BX, who decided to include it in the lighting design, since its Beam beam stands out clearly in front of the screens”.

The Elation Platinum BX incorporates the Philips Platinum 17RA lamp, of 350 watts and 20.000 power lumens. Its beam angle of 3°, Optical design and wide lens provide spectacular tracing effect, Ideal for medium and large venues and outdoor shows.
