Hello everyone! The presentations of Torpedine’s book, were seen in the towns of Marsala, Agrigento and Roseto degli Abruzzi with the presence respectively of Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca in support of the project. But remember, the entire proceeds will be donated to charity.
Some gossip had been heard, but as long as there was no official voice confirming, I did not want to anticipate anything for not feeding you false hopes.
But the news has now been confirmed, and by the authoritative voice of Michele Torpedine, therefore absolutely reliable.
But let’s go in order.
During the presentation of the book in Agrigento, Torpedine was interviewed by a local television, TELEACRAS, the video that I attach immediately, is long enough and at the beginning the questions are always the same, and concern, the motivations of having written a similar book .
There is the presence of Piero, who, as you can see, is always kind and affable with people who stop him for a photo or an autograph.
After all the long questions, of which by now you know the answers, we reach the minute 4:00 where, of Torpedine the program for the year 2019 is asked.
It’s coming, even if it will seem a little strange, the ten-year career of IL VOLO.
We will start from January with a big special of RAI 1, a world tour from Radio City New York to Italy, there will be a film.
It will be a whole year dedicated to them.
Abroad they appreciate the important voices, the bel canto, the opera, the true singers, we say, not the rappers or these things here, because they have the originals in America so they will never take J-AZ, Fedez (two Italian rappers), leave them to us, pity, they could also take them.
Then? It’s really wonderful news!
It has been said by the mouth of the “boss,” therefore it is founded/true.
A beautiful special on RAI 1 (the last one was UNICI) a world tour that will start from Radio City, and a movie, it is not clear if the film will be that of UN AMORE COSI’ GRANDE or even a film about the career of IL VOLO in any case, it is a beautiful program.
The news of yesterday, have Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca to Bagnaia, in Tuscany, in a splendid golf club resort, where they participated at a very elegant dinner and sang two songs at a youth publishing event.
I browsed the newspapers on the Internet, nobody talks about the Flight and their new video, but a title writes “…. Bagnaia” this name reminds me of the dinner so I open the article, and there is a live video. I open the direct and to my amazement, I see the guys very busy in an award ceremony.
It’s just like that, they are rewarding them in live streaming, with emotion I watched all the live, I felt very proud of them, and here I am to tell you everything.
Here is the video of the award ceremony.
Ms. Marisa Monti Riffeser, president of Poligrafici Editoriale and owner of Bagnaia, Golf & Spa, is called on the stage accompanied by her nephew. They are called on stage for the award ceremony: PIERO, IGNAZIO and GIANLUCA.
The presenter reads the motivation for this 2018 award “to these wonderful guys”. (his words)
“As a tribute to the road traveled so far, despite their young age, aims to be an example of how commitment, dedication, passion and study can allow you to achieve the prestigious goal of being recognized internationally and bearers of a message positive for all young people who want to continue believing in their dreams.”
What a wonderful motivation and I would say absolutely right for our boys!
Later, Piero tells how he met Mrs. Monti, really a special and causal meeting that I’m going to translate.
P = We were on a plane to Paris. Gianluca and Ignazio were behind me. I was sitting in front and listening to music with headphones. From my place I saw the lady, whom I did not know.
The lady tried to open a small bottle of water, but it was difficult.
So I got up, I took my headphones off and asked her if she needed help.
Then, when I arrived in Paris, I gave the lady the arm to get off the plane. At that point the lady (who really knew who that guy was) said:
“Mr. Barone, you are not only a great artist, but also a very polite person”.
Since then a nice friendship has been born with Mrs. Monti.
Dear Piero, you’re really a special person!!! While I was watching all this live, I felt very proud of our boys.
Ignazio then takes the microphone and gives a speech to the boys in the room, tells them to never give up and to always pursue their dreams, that only in this way can they come true.
Gianluca instead talks about the next projects, 10 years of career. He says they have recorded a Latin record as a “tribute to Latin music” and to show that they can do something else.
Therefore, it is clear the concept, it is a tribute, and not a definitive turning point!!
And these are some photos and videos of the previous night where the guys sang GRANDE AMORE and MY WAY, very elegant and good as always.
The singleNOCHE SIN DIAhas been released, and is visible to everyone, on every page, including the official page ofIL VOLO.
Or rather, I have to rectify, because the video is visible to almost everyone, but for us Italians, it is not at all.
Unfortunately this is an unpleasant situation, but I’m sure it does not depend on the will of the boys, so for the moment we do not talk about it.
Let’s talk about music and video instead.
Here it is.
Let’s talk about the video.
Beautiful, captivating, engaging.
I see three guys who want to have fun, who want to dance, without excesses, without coarse manner, without vulgarity, without dancing with obscene movements. They are boys who aspire to a healthy fun, dressed in particular, colorful and lively clothes.
The script is beautiful, the movements also.
We do not think ofNOTTE MAGICAorGRANDE AMORE, we think of many guys in the disco who want to have fun dancing and without having excesses . . . a nice party, in short.
I would say positive.
Let’s talk about music.
The rhythm is beautiful, stimulating, repetitive but not boring.
There are no swear words, no vulgarity, or masculine references typical of reggaeton, I would say it is very detached from reggaeton. I would say that is a rhythm to dance, to have fun.
The words are beautiful, they speak of love,
“There is no night without a day There is no rain without water That would be, of life Without love it would not exist.”
Certainly their voices, here have a secondary role, it is true, but maintain a gentle harmony and that do not present the discord, typical of certain songs that are said “fashionable” and to which everything is excused.
I like it.
Marie and I exchanged opinions on the new single Noche Sin Dia, and Marie sent me this beautiful article that I enclose and which I report this beautiful statement.
Thanks Marie !!
This is an excerpt from the blog post:
“As opposed to their usual classic pop fare, the track instead sees them delightfully venturing into the globally popular genre of reggaeton, and although the sound is surprising some fans, the boys have not foregone the element that helped make them famous from the start–their powerhouse vocals and message of love. Rather, the song is giving them a fresh new and radio-friendly appeal not only for the Latin market but for the world.”
My opinion is positive. The boys did not distort their image, on the contrary, they tried to give their imprint in a different rhythm.
Not everyone will appreciate this type of music, but even when they faced NOTTE MAGICA, many fans said they would not follow them anymore.
Honestly, I do not think IL VOLO will abandon their style, but I think they have proven to be able to tackle anything.
They are young and it is right that they are also followed by young people. Let’s face it, too, their songs did not involve the boys their age too much.
They will always have a special eye for their more mature fans, and their repertoire will include this, but also all that they have performed before.
Here in Italy they have always called them “young old” because they present again songs of other times, the radio and the musical transmissions NEVER pass their songs. If this experiment can serve to approach people who would NEVER listen to IL VOLO on principle . . . welcome!
This project is welcome, if it is necessary to open up eyes and ears to people who do not know what voices these guys have. But they will notice, that IL VOLO, is this and even more.
Every day, there is a special announcement that makes us happy.
After the news of the participation in the
WIND MUSIC AWARD on June 5th and RADIO ITALIA LIVE – THE CONCERT on June 16th
we hear of another very important date:
The trio, IL VOLO arrives at the Marostica Summer Festival.
Marostica – The billboard of the fourth edition of Marostica Summer Festival is still enriched. After the announcement of the presence of Alvaro Soler, on the stage on 18 July, the next day, Thursday 19, in the chess square, IL VOLO will return. Ignazio Boschetto, Piero Barone and Gianluca Ginoble, will in fact present their project, on tour since 2016, which is titled“NOTTE MAGICA – A Tribute to the Three Tenors”. After the two lucky events of 2014 and 2015, sold out in every place order, the three tenors, who in these years have won successes in all corners of the world, with their typically Italian voices and a repertoire ranging from Opera to pop music, thanks to Due Punti Eventi they announce a new concert, in the Scaliger town, which has always responded with generosity and affection.
The beautiful Piazza degli Scacchi, where the concert will be held.
The one scheduled for July 19th, beginning at 9:30 pm, will be a show in which the successful melodies of the Neapolitan, Italian and international repertoire will alternate with pieces taken from great musicals and with the most famous opera arias.
On the stage with the orchestra, the trio will also present some pop-inspired pieces and other surprises.
Pre-sales of the “IL VOLO” concert will be available shortly online and in the Ticketone and Vivaticket circuits.
On 1 July 2016 in Piazza Santa Croce in Florence Il Volo brought on stage for the first time “NOTTE MAGICA – A Tribute to the Three Tenors”, broadcast in prime time on Canale 5; the show has seen the participation of Placido Domingo and marked the beginning of a world tour that debuted on March 4 at the Radio City Music Hall in New York, registering sold out. After 15 stages in the United States, the tour arrived first in Europe (29 dates) and then in Latin America and, finally, in Japan.
Marostica Summer Festival is organized by Due Punti Eventi, with the artistic direction of Valerio Simonato, in collaboration with the Municipality of Marostica and with the patronage of the Veneto Region and the Province of Vicenza. The event supports Woman For Freedom, donating a number of tickets to the shows to support the association’s activities.
Ok, I think it’s great news, a whole concert, I think I’ll do everything to go there.
There will be Magic Night songs, but also pop songs and some surprises (maybe the new single), moreover, from Roncadelle where I live in Marostica, it’s only 100 miles, and then I’ve never seen Marostica and the famous Piazza where every year plays the Chess Game with real people.
No, I can not miss, Marostica, wait for me!
How many of you would like to be here, at that time ??
Meanwhile, as we wait on 19 July, we enjoy this piece of concert taken at Marostica in 2014, beautiful CARUSO.
