Patti Smith used a concert in Gijón to mark 50 years since her first performance in Spain. The American singer incorporated a ritual with shamanic elements into the event. She also framed her stay in the country as a kind of liturgy centered on the concert. Smith set the rhythm of a celebration that took on an almost religious character around her. The Gijón gathering was conceived as both a commemoration and an immersive ritual, rather than a standard concert presentation. The account gives no production or scheduling details for the event.
