One of the most refined songwriters and interpreters of Italian song \u2013 Cristina Don\u00e0<\/strong> \u2013 works on a \u201cwater songbook\u201d in which, among other things, she presents a number of her most famous pieces, starting with \u201cGoccia\u201d. In this musical stream we see one composition after another of her favourite authors: from Robert Wyatt who has never hidden his love for the singer and who will receive the tribute of some passages from his production such as \u201cSea Song\u201d and \u201cMaryan\u201d; continuing with Nick Drake (\u201cRiverman\u201d and \u201cWay to Blue\u201d), Nick Cave (\u201cThe Weeping Song\u201d, \u201cThe Ship Song\u201d), and on to \u201cOnda su Onda\u201d by Paolo Conte, \u201cCom\u2019\u00e8 profondo il mare\u201d by Lucio Dalla, and many more.<\/p>\n \u201cWe come from the water and to the water, at times, we return\u201d, says the singer; \u201cphysically or metaphorically, attracted by its unrivalled power, its evasiveness, its changeability, and by our dependence on it. Weaving the sound weft among these universes is one of her long-time collaborators, one of the most prolific and interesting percussionists on the Italian scene, Cristiano<\/strong> Calcagnile<\/strong>; for this production, he has called in extraordinary musicians such as Lorenzo<\/strong> Corti<\/strong> on the guitars (Nada, Cesare Basile), Vincenzo Vaso<\/strong> on the bass and theremin (Vinicio Capossela, Mike Patton, OoopopoiooO), Pasquale Mirra on the vibraphone (Hamid Drake, Fred Frith, Michel Portal) and the talented young trumpet-player Gabriele<\/strong> Mitelli<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the most refined songwriters and interpreters of Italian song \u2013 Cristina Don\u00e0 \u2013 works on a \u201cwater songbook\u201d in which, among other things, she presents a number of her most famous pieces, starting with \u201cGoccia\u201d.

\n\u201cWater has often seeped into my songs; I have viscerally loved certain pieces by artists who have nourished and hydrated my personal and artistic life. Putting together my liquid essence with theirs is for me cause of great happiness, and doing so with musicians of such high sensitivity and artistic skill will be an absolute privilege. We will see fast-running rivers, we will ride impossible waves, but we will also know how to enjoy the calm of a sound surface which like our mother\u2019s arms can rock our need to belong to the elements of which we are made. This is what music can do.\u201d<\/p>\nA Fabbrica Europa production<\/h6>\n
