Negramaro after twenty years in Sanremo Being eliminated was traumatic

Negramaro, after twenty years in Sanremo: “Being eliminated was traumatic, but we are still here. Thank you Amadeus, the…

He defines it as “an interstellar piece that moves a little forward and a little back in time, like Nolan's film,” a piece that “does not presuppose crisis or unrest, on the contrary, it is a piece full of hope.” is an imperative full of positivity.” Giuliano Sangiorgi talks about Ricominciamo tutto, the song with which I Negramaro They return to the competition at the Sanremo Festival, after their participation in 2005 at the Nuove Proposte and two participations as super guests in 2018 and 2021. “It was a bit traumatic to be eliminated from the Young People, but that was a fundamental and “more crucial.” Stage for our careers. And now we’re competing again with an open mind.”

“The response to our participation is directly reflected in the song: “Let's start again,” explains Sangiorgi, “should be a daily mantra. We do it as a band, every time a record comes out, every time we walk into the rehearsal room, I do it.” With my partner and my daughter, I do it in my personal and interpersonal relationships. You have to think about restarting every time. Sanremo in this sense, thanks to the work of AmadeusBefore Claudio Baglioni But in recent years he has freed himself from many prejudices, especially towards Amadeus. The prejudices that artists and the press had. A perfect work was done around the song and the contemporaneity of Italian music.”

In Ricominciamo tutto's DNA lies the desire to eliminate these prejudices: “Perhaps for a long time we thought we knew Sanremo inside and out,” continues Sangiorgi, “but the work of the last few years has freed us from this prison. “It’s like Amadeus says: There is no competition, they are all great guests.”

Participation in the festival's competition follows the celebrations of the twentieth anniversary of the Salento band, which began last year (the band's first album dates back to 2003) in August with the Megalive in Galatina, in their Puglia. and which will continue their stadium tour next summer, playing at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples on June 15th, at the Blueenergy Stadio Friuli in Udine on June 18th and at the San Siro Stadium on June 22nd will perform in Milan, on July 3rd at the Franco Scoglio Stadium (San Filippo) in Messina and on July 6th at the San Nicola Stadium in Bari. “Due to the fact that we had already shared some wonderful moments together before the celebrations of Negramaro's twentieth anniversary together, it seemed to be the moment to make a fresh start from the stadiums. And that’s why Sanremo seemed to be the necessary stage physiologically,” adds Sangiorgi.

Let's start again (written by Sangiorgi himself) “is a song born on a mountain top in Roccaraso in front of a blanket of immaculate snow, where I saw my daughter running: a moment of great happiness that made me. “I think we need to look at the world again with wonder and new enthusiasm. It is a highly emotional rock ballad that will develop even more charm and power in Sanremo with the live orchestra and will certainly let the frontman “play” with his unmistakable singing style. He will be there to conduct the orchestra on the Ariston stage Davide Rossithe Italian musician and producer who has won several Grammy Awards and has collaborated in his career with the biggest names on the international scene such as Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, U2, Depeche Mode, Kanye West, Frank Ocean, The Verve and many others and who is the arranger of the Negramaro song?

Giuliano can't say much about the cover evening, but he can give one very important note: “It will be an Italian song and the spoiler is already included in the song.” And the thought immediately falls on the quote from La canzone del sole by Lucio Battisti included in Let's start again.

And finally, Sangiorgi has little regard for the world of social media, “where everything is solved with thumbs up and thumbs down”: “It’s the new Middle Ages,” he says. And on the other hand, Ricominciamo tutto wants to be “an antidote to the cynicism of our time”.
