An evening dedicated to the historic Cramps label with Area, Eugenio Finardi and Claudio Rocchi
Area, one of the few Italian rock bands known everywhere. Eugenio Finardi, singer, songwriter, guitarist and pianist, lover of that combative and committed rock. Claudio Rocchi, one of the major contributors to Cramps' great success in the world of Italian songwriting. Here are the three protagonists of the evening of Wednesday 7 September at the Palasharp exclusively for Demo-Suona 2011.
Cramps Record, the label of 'total music', of fusion and internationality, always avant-garde, daring and innovative compared to what might have been the musical tastes and knowledge in the early 1970s. In 1973 Cramps Records released one of his first works: the track "Arbeit macht frei" by Area, always aimed at a formal, expressive and communicative search for the social message. It is impossible to enclose this band in a single genre definition. Indeed, over the years Area have been able to range between rock, progressive and jazz, dedicating themselves to experimentation and political songwriting. After 30 years of both social and musical changes, in which each of the members has from time to time undertaken individual projects, here is Ares Tavolazzi (bass), Paolo Tofani (guitars and synths) and Patrizio Fariselli (keyboards) are once again together on stage to relive with the Demo-Suona audience that unique musical experience called Area. Together with them, on the Palasharp stage also Eugenio Finardi, who came to Cramps Records thanks to the will of Demetrio Stratos, Area's never forgotten founder and singer. With this label Finardi published his first record "Don't throw anything out of the windows", a true example of Italian rock and the first of many other works that were to follow, all marked by a hard, combative and politically committed rock, capable of photographing Italian reality with simple and direct songs. Claudio Rocchi, together with Eugenio Finardi, he contributed to making Cramps the protagonist of Italian songwriting, through the melodic and compositional originality that has always distinguished him. His music, apart from a brief experimentation in the world of electronics, was and remains psychedelic, mystical and visionary, unique of its kind in Italy. An evening not to be missed, therefore, on 7 September at the Palasharp with the reunion of Area, Eugenio Finardi and Claudio Rocchi, who, one after the other on the Demo-Suona 2011 stage, will give the public an intense and committed experience of rock and singer-songwriter music.
