La Trakalosa Band, composed of twenty musicians from Northern Mexico, It offers a varied musical style that mixes influences of 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 the capacity to 17.000 people .

In these large enclosures, The technical team of the band has relied on the lighting technology of Elation (commercially represented in Spain by visualsvisual), and specifically in their Platinun BX moving heads to offer spectacular Beam lighting effects during their concerts.

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

As explained by the head of Adimsa, "The band plays in front of a Led video screen at both stage heights and that makes there is a high level of brightness in this space during the concerts. At first we thought to use a moving head type Beam of lower luminosity, but I recommended the technical team of the tour 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".

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