of Notre Dame de Paris in Santafe, the time of emotions continues With Notre Dame de Paris I heard the first album of Quasimodo National Giò Tuna. I was curious, I wanted to know the personality Art Giò outside the context NoE , even after Sanremo because it seemed to me that would be different from the usual Italian ... fake ones. Now I can say that for the first time this year Sanremo was won deservedly. The say this as someone who does not love this show, either watching or if you tune to RaiUno in those days does it for a laugh. When I heard that Lola Ponce Giò and were in competition with a song with the curiosity won and I started thinking that maybe there was something good. And to think that I have discovered their presence in San Remo almost by accident when, after years and years, I spent a whole evening always fixed on RaiUno, up half a mind to practice to see some of the guests, with Cocciante Giulietta e Romeo , the only time "high", of course lasted too little of the festival. Thanks to that evening, however, I also saw the eventual winners, and I liked the song immediately. course in radio these things do not hear, nor speak on music channels ... but that's okay, it's just that these things remain only between those who appreciate and love them with depth, so I had way to hear this album until the elusive August 21, when, perhaps waiting for a NoE , put the album in the background of Gio. Do not know his songs, but I immediately recognized his voice ... it was a real sight. Santafè is a great album. Obviously, it is in Italian style, with melodic lyrics ... but very beautiful, absolutely non-trivial and excellent arrangements, which emphasize that Gio has grown as an artist and how good a musician (he composed, arranged and written it all the songs, except Lightning Strike). 12 songs full of emotions, feelings, a thrill from beginning to end and not even miss the energy ch and winks at a pop - rock quality. It's catchy music, you are immediately inside. The texts are written by Gio and Uncle Alex and cover topics such as love, loneliness ... that could lead to annoying songs, but no, they are intelligent songs, with them because, intimate, personal, but sensible. Well, Gio is not only Quasimodo, is no longer "what makes Quasimodo." Now it's Gio Tuna. The experience of Notre Dame allowed him to mature and develop his identity as an artist and get a deep voice, and I believe that truly rocks. This has given him to give us an album intimate, composed and recorded ato between the warm walls of the house, Pescara, is self-produced and has the participation of friends as Lola Ponce and actors like Giancarlo Giannini. quote on all songs as Everything , Love is an elephant , dell'AIL song, beautiful song in which there is also a children's choir, which addresses topics such as 'friendship and love, seen here not only as love between two people, as well as friendship, in a way very different, alternative, and perhaps this characteristic makes q T his song reaches you in, both through the text, and through the insistent melody. Listen to this song would do well to many people nowadays. Then we have songs like Black The sheep, which emphasizes combative attitude and energetic towards life:
"... am I good or evil survive without a love ...
... because what I have in my head
Maybe music is too light
but however I do not know how long I have left
all I want to live as a sheep Black
Not me, not me, I can not change
To make you happy only an hour longer
Not me, not me, I can not stay
A look at life and let it go like this ... "
Giò The level of entry is much more mature and deep, exciting ... It is obviously less hoarse and low when she sings in the role of Quasimodo, but in some points the depth, the deep vibrations, the anger we were used to when he was in the role of the hunchback and gets straight to the heart, resurface and absolutely no clash in the complexity of the album.
addition to artistic quality of this work is also added to the personal sphere: Giò despite the success has remained a humble person and very kind . I was lucky to know him and meet him twice, and although once in a hurry and the other was tired after the show has stopped talking to me. This work is yet another confirmation for me of something I firmly believe that in recent times, many would argue that Giò Tuna has become what it is only thanks to Notre Dame de Paris . Probably è così, ma io non vedo niente di male in questo, quell’esperienza gli ha concesso di diventare un artista a 360 gradi, di migliorare e di acquisire una grandissima esperienza. Si potrebbe anche dire che viva di rendita, ma bisogna essere sordi per non ammettere le qualità vocali di questo cantante nonché la sua carica emotiva. C'è inoltre da dire che Giò non nega l'importanza che l'Opera ha avuto nella sua vita e c arriera, nei ringraziamenti dell'album infatti nomina Cocciante, Panella (autore della versione italiana di NdP ) e David Zard, il produttore e anche i suoi compagni e amici artisti di quell'avventura. Ritorno dunque a ribadire lo stesso conc ect: the merits (though some will certainly be a demerit) is popular as a work NoE, which in addition to giving us unique emotions as Opera, but also allows artists to apply to grow, to make room in the jungle that is the recording industry co today and continue to excite us even more.
