Big Friday evening event on Rai1 for the concert from Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples to celebrate with many guests the 30-year career of the singer-songwriter
Gigi D’Alessio never leaves you indifferent. Usually it says: like it or not like his songs but he … Here’s the interesting but he. Why is everyone showing him so much affection?
Broadcast Friday evening from Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples Uno come te – Thirty Years Together, the concert event that celebrates the first 30 years of music and great successes of Gigi D’Alessio (Rai1). There were many guests and everyone, from Fiorello to Alessandra Amoroso, from Vanessa Incontrada to Fiorella Mannoia, from Eros Ramazzotti to Vincenzo Salemme, showed him friendship, sang praises for his generosity, took the liberty of making fun of him. as a sign of affection.
Naples the mother. We were happy together and suffered together, says Gigi on stage and thanks his audience several times, also for defending against prejudice. I don’t have a song by Gigi D’Alessio in my playlist, it’s just the fault of my musical laziness; In fact, what impressed me most about the broadcast was that each of his pieces were repeated in chorus by the huge audience, even when they were duets with songs that weren’t his own.
I couldn’t say no to him. We are like brothers – says Fiorello in designer pajamas – and then the sun of Naples: Ed Sheeran comes and Koulibaly goes. Together they sing “Tu vuo ‘fa l’americano,” “Torero,” “o’Sarracino,” and then “Como suena el corazon,” but with a Pink Floyd mashup.
In short, the artistic life of Gigi D’Alessio is much more interesting than what clichés hand down to us, starting from the beginnings with Mario Merola and then the wedding concerts, the difficult moments of his career, his five participations in the festival from Sanremo. Grand finale with Napule: homage to Pino Daniele, whom Gigi defines as the greatest of them all, while the sky is lit up with fireworks.
