The already packed calendar of Demo-Sounds 2011, the musical review animating the Democratic Party scheduled at the Palasharp in Milan from 1 to 19 September.
For 15 September, in fact, "L'ANIMA DELLA TERRA (VISTA DAL STELLE)" has been confirmed, in which the voice of the soul Ginevra Di Marco and astrophysicist Margherita Hack will be the protagonists, in a fascinating and unusual combination. It is a performance of words and music that tells the story of man's journey through the earth, investigating the relationship between us and the universe that welcomes us. The meeting of two 'stars', one of art and the other of science, becomes an opportunity to investigate some burning social issues such as immigration/emigration, new energies, globalisation, labour, corruption.
Ginevra Di Marco will interpret some of the most beautiful traditional melodies on these themes: songs full of meanings, values and history; Margherita Hack will alternate the songs with her in-depth texts, clarifying and expanding on the concepts with the force of her immense experience and charisma.
"The Soul of the Earth (View from the Stars)" is the brainchild of Francesco Magnelli (formerly in C.S.I. and P.G.R. among others) who has shaped a show in which the sung and told word venture, between ethnic, traditional music and quality songwriting from all over the world, on a journey to all continents, with songs from Brittany, Cuba, Macedonia, Albania, Southern Italy, Tuscany. Accompanying the voice of Margherita Hack and the singing of Geneva Di Marco will be the same Magnellifloor and magnellophones, Luca Boy, on drums, and Andrea Salvadoriguitar and tzouras.
As for the other shows planned at Demo-Suona 2011, entirely by Barley Arts, In the 'Folk Explosion' evening on Sunday 9 September, the presence of the "David Munnelly Band, one of the most exciting bands on the Irish scene, who joins the Bergamasque "The Luf'. Thanks to its exuberant style, as wild and free as the west coast of Ireland where its members live, the David Munnelly Band has made a name for itself on both sides of the Atlantic for the high voltage that sustains a music whose inspiration ranges from ragtime to Irish trad.
