Piazzoli Sergio is a busy man. And thank goodness. Not only because if he were with his Musical Box to organize concerts throughout the year up and down for some live music Umbria we would not know even how it is made. It seems that if it were not Piazzoli a busy man, for instance, tonight we could not hear a concert by Vinicio Capossela Teatro Morley. "I invited to come to one of the dates that I always do at Christmas, but he could not. And then, I said, I am going to Perugia, "said Vinicius.
jokes Maybe, maybe not. He and pitches have been friends for years. A few less accurate after the winds from the first disc Capossela, about one o'clock and thirty-five. "Sergio was one of the first promoter to organize my concerts. The first one was the After Bomb Terni, then there was one at the Sala dei Notari, Perugia. Since then he has created a relationship of friendship, and above all a kind of complicity in music. That is based not so much about my concerts organized by him, as well as those who go to see together. For Umbria Jazz, Rockin 'Umbria when it happens. And then hosted me several times at her home in Perugia, I got to know people and places that are very close now. "
But it was a long time since you went to play here.
"Yeah. The last time was in 2003, there was still the Turreno. This time, then, the opportunity was missed. The Morley is splendid. I remember that I was thunderstruck when I heard Joao Gilberto, in '96. Let's say that tonight is the perfect culmination of my relationship with Sergio and the city. No coincidence that the concert will be based primarily on the repertoire of the early records, and training is also vintage. There will be Enrico Lazzarini, Mirco Mariani, Giancarlo Bianchetti, Piero smell and a great special guest Jimmy Villotti, who had played right into my first record. "
turn the page. Your upcoming gigs, after Perugia, will be in Paris for Valentine's Day, and London the next day. Besides, now your thickness is recognized internationally. What will change for you, when you play abroad?
"Well, playing outside is always an adventure. In some ways you're more free to renew your music, but there is a language barrier, not just stuff. This is why I always try to learn two or three formulas in the local language so that the public-key reading. In New York, for example, we played the first time in 2007 at a place called Joe's Pub. It was a real show, not only music but also as entertainment. This year, however, we did a whole tour, rent a tour bus and touching New York, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, San Francisco and Losa Angeles. It's very fascinating, although it is not easy to carry it forward in time. "
From America to our home. Last November, you made a surprise appearance at MEI (Meeting of the Labels Independent) of Faenza. Do you think than two decades ago for a young emerging is more difficult or easier?
"Al Mei I sang three songs at the concert of my old pal Mirco Mariani. Some time ago m'aveva proposed to participate in its new project, called Greetings from Saturn. They made this album which is titled Talk to Anna, where I sing three songs. I sang at the same Mei, exactly. As for those who started playing today, I think he can harness the great opportunities of technology. Making good music is much simpler and more economical than once. At the same time, large industrial productions have the same expensive than before, despite the dramatic drop in sales. It is a difficult situation, and it is difficult to find solutions. "
But there is something you like, in the Italian indie scene?
"Sure. For example, Edda, the former lead singer of tribal rhythms, last year made a beautiful record, Semper Biot: really impressed me. Then there is the whole new legion songwriting, or type Brondi Dente. But I am very fond of the old. Get the same Villotti. Or the many musicians I work with: Alexander 'Ace' Stefani and her Guano Padano, Vincent 'Electric Boom' Vases, Zeno De Rossi. And finally I'd like to mention a group of Barcelona. They are called Cabo San Roque. Make mechanical music, build tools exceptional. Some time ago I was asked to sing a song in their album, a poem by Verdaguer in Catalan, is called Atlantis. So I asked him to play their fantastic mechanical orchestra in my new album, I've just finished recording and will be released in March. In times of crisis, the exchange between musicians is very fashionable. "
