ELIO – QUANDO UN MUSICISTA RIDE

Description

Playing and laughing with music and songs. An easy task for Elio and his band of very young virtuosos who enjoy exploring and reinventing that immense, serious-comic repertoire on the border between singing and disenchantment which, especially around the 1960s, covered music, song and cabaret and Italian theatre.
From Fo to Gaber, from Jannacci to Cochi and Renato, from Flaiano to Marcello Marchesi, plus many others, a generation of eccentric and counter-current artists, who have surprised and entertained everyone, from experimentalists to the general public, reinventing a musical genre full of eccentric and fun “light-hearted songs”. This is what this new show aims to do, rediscover and renew those brilliant, innovative, non-conformist ideas, and also that creative freedom. Because it’s nice to be there “when a musician laughs”.
