Angelo Branduarti Confessioni Di Un Malandrino
Although many see in him only the minstrel of Alla fiera dell'est, Angelo Branduardi is a unique case in the history of Italian music. A musician who in his career has explored far and wide the vast territories of sound, navigating between cultures, between sacred and profane, and who - preferring for himself the definition of troubadour - has made each of his pieces a small around the world, for the amount of ideas and tools put in place. He is also a highly spiritual cantor and a great popularizer of culture: supported by his wife Luisa Zappa - who has always been the author of the texts and constant stimulus for her research - he narrated the deeds of St. Francis and set poems by Sergej Esenin and William Butler Yeats to music. , he wrote soundtracks for the cinema and experimented with electronics, he told tales and legends from all over the world.
In short, with his voice and his violin, he transported listeners to other realities. And his successes testify to this - just remember La flea acqua, Cogli la prima mela, Vanità di vanità, Si can do and many others - and his concerts always sold out. At the age of seventy, Angelo decided to reveal himself for the first time in this autobiography, which is the authentic story that the music critic Fabio Zuffanti has collected and elaborated.
From childhood spent in Genoa to discovering the passion for music, from tours around Europe to the inspirations behind his creations, family, concerts, meetings, great successes, right and wrong choices , the light and the darkness of his being a man before being an artist: a precious testimony that every music lover should not fail to read. With a preface by Stefano Bollani and a large record appendix by Laura Gangemi, main animator of Angelo Branduardi's official fanclub, Locanda del Malandrino.
"This is perhaps why artists exist. They were born to sit on a cloud and tell us about the intimate connections between the things that down here we insist on seeing separate".
From the preface by Stefano Bollani.
