"Music is the best"

I really like Italian Prog-rock: Premiata, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Area, Metamorfosi, Le Orme, Il Balleto di Bronze, etc.

I did a cover of Impresioni di Settembre a couple of years ago, great song.

But,that being said, I like Laura Pausini, is a great pop singer.

Music makes our body vibrate with different frequencies. Everyone has his. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I get bored if a piece is not harmonically rich… I’m not saying that I’m better at it… it’s my taste that is different. However Laura Pausini works a lot abroad and quite a bit in Italy. I am however allergic to Sanremo :wink:

Back in 2016, I too recorded (for fun) “Impressioni di Settembre” with all the REAL instruments (drums, electric guitar and Bass) and played by me… unfortunately the voice too… :grimacing: :grimacing: For the solo I used Arturia’s MiniMoog.

Given Riban’s appreciation, I found the courage to attach the complete song… :pleading_face:

I listened to it whist doing a Duolingo Spanish lesson. Your (almost mournful) voice being faded in and out by the app when I needed to listen or speak added an extra dimension to today’s lesson.

… I don’t know if this is a compliment… but already the fact that you listened to this piece entirely sung and played by me (with all the drum tempo defects) while setting up my recording room in the new house, it honors me. Thank you

I love this man and his group…fabulous musicians.

Very, very, very humbly I’m trying to make a base for this song… isn’t it that among you there’s a drummer or a good electronic midi programmer who wants to collaborate?

The bass line of my recording is that of the studio version that I like best… with a more South American rhythm. I accept criticism and advice.

I never appreciated, while he was alive, that we had a true poet among our stars up here in the Great White North.

And what about congratulations ?
first of all thank you, I’ve (re)discovered Pino Daniele. As you know, he makes me dance since I was a teenager and what a great artist.

Most of your cover sounds really good especially at the end with trombone and winds around 2:30

But if you insist :rofl:

Thanks le51…You don’t know how happy this makes me
With Pino you learn Neapolitan more than Italian… As an Italian who lives in the north, I think the most beautiful dialects are:

  1. Neapolitan (forever number 1)
  2. Tuscan (very nice)
  3. Roman (beautifully scurrilous)
  4. Sicilian (wonderfully archaic)
  5. Sardinian (a language that has nothing to do with Italian)
    Neapolitan has great musicality, but, without Pino, there are no musicians left who blend this “language” with jazz, bossanova and all my favorite genres.

Netflix used “Ahead By A Century” as the theme tune to their series Anne with an “E”, together with some terrific paintings by Brad Kunkle:

Me wife is addicted to the show. :>

Speaking about italian music, this is a chilean band :sweat_smile:.

This is one of my favorite bands in the nueva canción chilena movement. They lived a lot of years in Italy and they were heavely influenced by italian music.

They made a lot of songs influenced by italian music, like Il Mercado Testaccio, Tarantella, Tatati.

But my favorite is Danza di Cala Luna:

from french Brittany

It’s a jug band and that one was from their own while:

is a cover from an old classic. Make me a pallet on the floor is also so good !

for those who want to learn french (it’s undertitled) . It’s a kind of soundtrack for a comic.

Here is the pitch:

Dans les marécages de Louisiane, deux jeunes femmes noires reviennent sur les lieux de leur enfance volée. Les Chevaliers de Louisiane les ont enlevées enfants et envoyées dans un orphelinat, dans un autre État. Leur retour va secouer une petite communauté créole pauvre et rongée par le mépris que lui jettent à la figure les puissants qui exploitent ce petit bout de terre et d’eau. Mais cette communauté a une drôle d’histoire de musiques et de solidarité, et surtout une satanée classe.
