Ok, folks, sorry for the last minute post, for those of you that are able, I tried to find a few links that might get you into the RAI3 channel – some direct, one might be through FaceBook. 🙂
Many have probably already seen it in their Instagram or Twitter accounts from the guys and IlVoloMusic, etc.
Time will be about 3:20p EST – North America.
(let us know in the comments, if anyone was able to connect to this!)
Thank you, Ineke, for pointing this out to us today! 🙂
Yesterday afternoon Gianluca posted this short message:
This evening we will celebrate 25 years of PORTA A PORTA and there will be a surprise for you.
Stay Tuned!
The whole fanbase immediately repeated the message, but what was it about?
Perhaps a small old video re-proposed by Porta a Porta.
For too long we have not seen Il Volo guest at Porta a Porta, we really liked the old episodes where a lot of space had been given to Il Volo.
So this was a big surprise !!
The wait was long, the short connection with Il Volo took place immediately after midnight.
Here is the video !!
G+P+I= Hi Bruno.
P = Happy birthday. We could not miss this important anniversary.
I = It’s already 25 years of Porta a Porta, we are a little like peers.
G = Yes, we can say that we are Bruno’s age.
P = But peers of what?
I = Our age together makes Bruno’s age.
G = Peers of the program.
I = Yes, of course. Together with you we have had wonderful experiences, like the one in New York. (short video of Il Volo in New York with Bruno Vespa)
I = The walk in Central Park.
G = Dinner with Woody Allen.
I = But the best thing was seeing you come down from the hotel room in overalls.
P = For jogging.
G = We can say we took a nice jog in Central Park with Bruno Vespa.
I = Now we are in the studio, we are working.
G = We are preparing a very beautiful thing which is a tribute to maestro Ennio Morricone.
P = Guys, what do you say if we move to the recording studio?
G = Exactly, we move to the recording studio, because we want to give you a small taste of what this musical project will be, precisely the tribute to the great master Morricone, with all his melodies sung and we leave you a small taste of a medley of C’ERA UNA VOLTA IN AMERICA and MALENA, a song called E PIÙ TI PENSO.
Besides Bruno, you are already invited to our concert on June 5th in Piazza San Pietro. (the performance of the song begins, with piano accompaniment)
I = The master Claudio Vignali
P = Bruno we promise that we will be present at the 50th anniversary of Porta a Porta.
G = A big hug Bruno, a greeting to everyone.
G + I + P = Ciao, ciao.
It was short but intense.
A beautiful and intimate performance of E PIÙ TI PENSO, and the confirmation that Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca are preparing everything for the event of early June, although there are no total certainties, but they are practicing the songs, preparing the voices and as always they will surprise us.
In Italy, February is considered the month of Sanremo.
This year, due to the pandemic, Sanremo will be there, but it has been scheduled for early March, and will also be without an audience.
It is thanks to Sanremo that I really got to know and started followingIl Volo.
But how many times have Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio been in Sanremo on the Ariston stage?
In reality, really many times, because the filming of TI LASCIO UNA CANZONE, took place right at the Ariston Theater, but now, we are talking only about Sanremo.
2010
In 2010, the running of the Sanremo festival was entrusted to Antonella Clerici.
As we all know, Antonella has always been proud of her three little tenors. That year in Sanremo there will be Queen Rania of Jordan and Antonella decides to pay homage to the Queen, with a beautiful little show of her three little tenors.
What little kids, but what big voices. So sweet, close to Queen Rania of Jordan and Antonella.
They still had a long way to go and a lot of study to face.
2015
2015 is the year of triumph.A more than deserved victory and popularity also in Italy, where they were not so well known.
Here are our guys on the Sanremo red carpet, before the singing competitions begin.
The first evening was the consecration.
An explosion of joy and skill, welcomed the audience who was enchanted !!
Gianluca’s tears of emotion … It was February 11, the day of his twentieth birthday !!
It was the beginning of their worldwide adventure.
In the second evening, the evening dedicated to covers, Il Volo performed ANCORA.
Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio have decided to present themselves as competitors again.
The race was beautiful, but the quality jury deliberately gave them very low, undeserved votes and then there was the scandal of the journalists who said bad words about Il Volo and recommended not to vote them so as not to let them win again.
Here they are upon their arrival in Sanremo, on the red carpet.
Instead their song MUSICA CHE RESTA was very popular with the audience and once again showed them so much love.
And then the night they sang with Alessandro Quartaand his fantastic violin. Very good, all the audience standing, lots of applause …. and the critics gave them the lowest rating …. incredible.
Despite all the low grades, Il Volo is lovingly supported by the home crowd and so in the end it comes third.
It was a nice roundup of appearances, but I’m sure there will be other opportunities to see Il Volo in Sanremo, both as guests and as competitors, because they can do it and because they certainly have the support of all of us- their fans who love them so much.
Last night I was thinking about where we are in this story. We have become an important part of the story. In the beginning we were asked to open our minds and follow a story which to many of us made no sense at all. Many of you who follow my Il Volo stories, wrote to me to ask, “What is this about?” Sometimes I think that you think I know more than I do. I only know what you know. I have no inside information!
Recently my messages have changed. Many of you are now weighing in on the stories. After Coco was left at the aquarium, and the butterflies reappeared, you stormed my messenger to say, “I think the Butterflies will rescue Coco!” Good for you!
So now we are asked if the post should remain in Black and White or Color! Again, you began to weigh in. Many of you said, you liked the black and white and, many said there is room for color.
Before we go on, other things have happened this past week which we need to address.
We have a new character. Her name is Kalsa. What does this character have to do with the story? I’m not sure where Fabio and Ignazio are going with this but, I can tell you there are two things I know about Kalsa that do contribute to the story. But, of course, I’m not going to tell you what that is. I’m leaving that to the guys to tell you. But what I will tell you about the Kalsa story is this is a story about traditions. What started out as a mythical character (the Moor’s head) wound up being the symbol of Sicily.
We know the ultimate goal of BOIN is to make us feel like we are part of the project. So how do we fit into the new story? Traditions!
Traditions are what form our good values.
Traditions are important because they keep us in touch with our past and by sharing them keep us closer to our families and friends. Everything Ignazio and Fabio have done so far points to Good Values!
We also saw the BOIN watch and BOIN hat this week. First off, baby Noah looked adorable in his BOIN hat.
And I assume the watch is a Smart Watch. I have a Smart Watch. Let me say it is smarter than me! But what was revealed to us when we saw the watch? In the background of the picture, we saw a color poster with BOIN objects on it.
So that brings us back to the question: “Black and White or Color?”
To me Black and White is their signature. Their logo is in Black and White. I find it very intriguing and mysterious. You see the Black and White and there is no need to say who or what is this, we automatically know we have a new post from BOIN. Having said that, a splash of color couldn’t hurt. Perhaps slowly color will come into the project and it will reveal the end result, the project we’ve all been following for almost a month.
Until now, the figurative characters have added the needed color to the story but, in my opinion, Ignazio and Fabio, maybe it is time to add a splash of color here and there. Unleash the Color let us begin to see the future!
To see if BOIN will continue in Black and White or if the guys will Unleash the Color follow Ignazio and Fabio on their journey. Bring your friends along! FOLLOW @boincollection
