Dino Fumaretto
La vita è breve e spesso rimane sotto

THE REVIEW

Elia Billoni is the puppeteer who breathes life into the creation of Dino Fumaretto, his alter ego, through which he expresses and delivers a surreal and theatrical singer-songwriter style from the 2000s, where the cabaret piano is accompanied by nonsensical lyrics filled with dark irony, as in "Venite Assassini", a call to the masses to preach a return to barbarism; in fact, Dino Fumaretto is a gentle and restless minstrel who entertains, capable of creating small protest anthems like "Fuck The World", to shout out at the window, with the neighbor glaring at you, thus justifiably, or in other words, rightfully so.

These are songs to interpret, but also not; it's not blasphemy to say you've shaken well before use a comprehensible Enzo Jannacci and a Giovanni Allevi (devoted to independent songwriting); the piano gushes overwhelming rhythms and it feels like being on a spinning wheel, only to then allow pauses for reflection inspired by the songwriting of Ettore Giuradei, to temper the frenetic rhythms of songs like "Iiih", a sound, a liberating expression. The harmonica in "Immersioni" is touching, alternating with the whimsical narrative. Already with the initial "Soffio Di Vento" you're swept away, by the lament and the fright; "Nella Casa" is a continuous delirious back-and-forth, "Vita Da Ufficio" recalls the playful sounds of Musica Per Bambini, and in the finale "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" you can't help but whistle and hum a song that brings serenity and happiness: look at life on its most good side...
