bad song, the music is more or less the same (do not remember a few months and there are no plagiarism), the record companies are the good and the bad time and space for freedom of the singers too little - at least not for the stars, that certain "freedom" if they can not afford (yet). Controversy over selections and grades, there are however many young people, and already one can see news of great interest ...
Sanremo 2011? No, dear boys, Sanremo 1971. We had a wipe in newspapers, riviste, pagine web (e qualche piccolo appunto personale), del festival di quarant’anni fa, per scoprire che, nell’Italia delle note, un po’ “gattopardianamente” tutto è cambiato per rimanere sostanzialmente com’era prima. E com’era prima? Era tutto un po’ italiano... tradizionalisti vs. sperimentatori, juventini vs. interisti, democristiani vs. comunisti… detrattori vs. difensori del festival. Quarant’anni fa c’era chi diceva che il festival fosse troppo poco esterofilo, chi che non lo fosse per niente; alcuni avrebbero voluto contestare perfino gli uscieri, altri (magari dopo aver urlacchiato un po’) si sarebbero accontentati di avere l’autografo di Don Backy or Cinquetti. Or to embrace the national-Adriano. The most intransigent of course, wanted to abolish it ...
All this could add that the great Anglo-Saxon market was practically deaf to our tunes and that the change "generation" among the music stars in reality there ' had never been. The festival of 1971 is perhaps one of the last old-style festival, which precedes the "collapse" of the seventies but was first launched in the name of crisis. First: There is no air around a dispute, the mania of the "endless debate", also take the same singers who two days before the game come together to journalist and writer Giovanni Arpino theater Astra.
Here is a trio mica to laugh - Adriano Celentano, Domenico Modugno and Lucio Dalla, three different ways: beat, traditional and popular - about songs, singers and San Remo, there is the people who listen, that "questions" and stresses the artists - and in those days it was frequently - that the distances between the source and recipient of the 'work of art " you are hopelessly shortened. We had full pop, and everything is "within reach". Sometimes too much. But there is also a crisis around different about this time that the record companies, the eternal search of the artist to be launched and eager to please the share of emerging market: the one composed of young people crazy about fashion .
The great singers of the recent past (Morandi and Ranieri among men, the Vanoni and Mina Zanicchi among women), are beginning to desert Sanremo, because fear of paying for all, and slide down the slippery slope of a crisis, now in Italy, not only of talent (or voices, as claimed Lietta Tornabuoni on "Print" writing that now in Italy to sing were the likes of Bugs Bunny), but also to "report" with the public, and one thing that people are beginning to call feeling. Not at all what would become one of the biggest record of our times, Caterina Caselli, he suggests, on the eve of the twenty-first festival, to turn a singing competition in Woodstock ... Italian, because now it is impossible to ignore the music is really something else and that with the floral decorations and scenes "stolen" at La Scala in Milan, do not go just anywhere .
If we want to throw the image then, even that of 1971 is an Italy very sexy (sexy as the two beautiful this year and Canalis Belen), but a bit 'more cleaner than today. Skirts axillary (look at the photos of Marina Occhiena or conductive Elsa Martinelli), beauty of outline and the desire of happiness, reminding everyone - big and small - that the revolution of manners grew into the homes of each of us, and the comedies "pushed" with Lando Buzzanca and Giancarlo Giannini (cinema, five shows a day), would continue to cause scandal solo per pochi anni .
Come sempre, in quel ’71 (e anche quest’anno!), a darsi battaglia stelle del passato, lontano e recente, outsider , rivelazioni e giovani venuti fuori - non dai talent televisivi ma - dai concorsi per voci nuove o “scoperti” qua e là lungo lo Stivale. Molti – e qui la differenza c’è eccome! – non sono per nulla dei divetti, e per andare a cantare a Sanremo prendono perfino le ferie. C’è chi non ha trovato la strada giusta ed è perfino impiegato alle Poste, e c’è chi sarebbe Carneades was a lifelong ... Next to the star Jose Feliciano, piece 90, of Puerto Rican Harlem, blind from birth and famous at the time, like Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra, the chorus "Alpine Milanese near Celentano, and then Nomads, Dik Dik, the Equipe 84 (next to From), Formula 3 (the newest group, near Baptist), New Trolls and Giants. Groups of Italian pop, all more or less, to make a fine show. In short, as always c'en'è for everyone.
The winners of the festival del ’71 (tre serate: dal 25 al 27 febbraio, per un evento che è, ancora, musicale e non televisivo come adesso) è comunque un bel terzetto (vedremo quest’anno, invece). Nonostante siano trascorsi quattro anni il “fantasma” di Tenco sembra aggirarsi ancora se non fra le stanze del Casinò di Sanremo almeno fra quelle dei giornalisti, che utilizzano il “metro-Tenco” per valutare stile e vocalità di quasi tutti i cantanti maschi. Ma forse esagerano un po’. Al primo posto si classificano Nada, rivelazione del 1969, e Nicola Di Bari “stella” del 1970; cantano Il cuore è uno zingaro , sono entrambi e per parte loro due cantanti "A few" but of peasant origin. Today you may encounter a few local theater or hidden. Nada is young and sometimes shy, and over the years also become a writer; Di Bari is the classic "poet 'a bit of honey but good school, all but forgotten in Italy (bisser victory in '72), will continue to be successful especially abroad.
Both have a singular voice, their song is the author of Franco Migliacci and Claudio Flying Brick (beloved, then by Renzo Arbore). In second place rank the rich and poor, and Feliciano, their song, What is, is a hymn to the people who leaves his home village, is a very catchy song and a bit 'sad, that with topical Over the years become almost "eternal". Classic song festival still to be written by Jimmy Fontana Migliacci and great friend of Feliciano .
"But the real winner of that edition of the festival is Lucio Dalla" by his quasi-autobiographical baby Jesus now renamed (due to censorship) 4/3/1943. A write is Gianni Borgna former Councillor for Culture of the Capital in its Italy Sanremo (Mondadori 1998), a book dedicated to the festival of festivals, and at that time that happened in the meantime, the Italian company. From the character is not new to the festival but this time his non-conformism intelligent appeals to everyone. It is a Catholic who presents himself as a protester who like boys. He offered, moreover, since the debut, a few points of reference in regards to the song that was. " It is a ferryman, from the old to the new festival. In addition to being a big news in terms of music, song writing da Dalla e da Paola Pallottino “allieva” di Aldo Palazzeschi (un testo “difficile” dedicato a una ragazza madre) diventa un grande successo internazionale, in Sudamerica, Giappone e Francia .
A dar retta alle cronache sanremesi, Il cuore è uno zingaro è la favorita della vigilia. Come volevasi dimostrare: il pronostico viene rispettato. Ma le polemiche (impossibile che manchino, a Sanremo) non sono di quelle che fanno storia. Anzi. Feliciano e Dalla, risultano i più apprezzati dalla critica, e apprezzati da una buona fetta di pubblico che si is moved even heard them sing. Yeah ... it seems that even then 1971, full shower in dispute, the public has cried with emotion .
difficult (perhaps impossible), that all this will happen again in AD 2011 ... Chronicles of a time when the songs were so excited and appreciated by the "people", a time, from this point of view, will never return .
