I have to say that Tarantella del Gargano is a gorgous song!!! I love it!! I am ordering the cd today just for that song! But I have no doubt that I will like everything else. :) You have an amazing voice!!!
Diamonds è stupenda, adoro il jazz fatto alla grande, e ancora di più quando sfiora la classica, poi mi sembra che non ci sia la batteria, e questo è mooooolto figo.
La tarantella del Gargano è hendrixiana e popolare al tempo stesso, mai sentita una cosa del genere, voce e chitarra.
Christmas in the Silent Forest è fantastica, elettronica e sinfonica (adoro quando si mischiano gli opposti), con delle aperture da sballo.
Acqua nera è avantissimo, ed è pure bella cazzo, quanto è difficile fare quelle cose.
Poi tu canti sempre benissimo !!
Era un po' che non sentivo cosi tanta bella musica in un posto solo, sono proprio felice.
grazie a te Ilaria. Il lavoro mi tiene spesso lontano da questa iniziative. Ieri ero libero e grazie all'invito di amici sono stato ad Ariano e sono rimasto positivamente impressionato. Complimenti e una foto per te...
