1. Creuza de ma (I know that some characters are not precise but my keyboard is quite poor)
After "L'indiano" and its musical evolution, De André begins a collaboration with violinist Mauro Pagani that will last for almost a decade. The result of this collaboration can be described as superlative and revolutionary. Because "Creuza de ma" charts a new path made of ethnic singer-songwriter, where lyrics in dialect are also adopted. In the case of "Creuza," it is Genoese, which unexpectedly reveals itself as incisive and fascinating. But beyond the use of a single dialect, the themes and stories addressed testify that Faber is indeed in a deep creative ascent. All stories are connected by a maritime setting, starting with the departing sailors of the title track and the Venetian Ciga who becomes grand vizier under the name of Sinan Capudan Pascià. But there is more: there is the sensuality of Jamin-a, which traps the protagonist in an exciting erotic game, there is the war in Sidun, where a father loses a son crushed by the treads of tanks. And then... there is Genoa and its figures, like the Pittima, a man with a ruined physique who approaches citizens to collect their debts, or like the prostitutes who roam the city on Sundays and it may happen that a man, while getting lost in the chorus of slanders against the whores, discovers that his wife is part of that horde of prostitutes. In the end, however, there is no return. There is only yet another man who departs, but not with the hope of the sailors of "Creuza de ma," but with the bitterness of having to leave his companion on the shore, whom he will always have beside him in a photograph. And with this melancholic and delicate ending, the breath remains taken away, with the desire to relive this journey again and again. Like a whirlpool, it draws you gradually towards its epicenter and you let yourself be carried away by these vortices where we can admire humanity, the journey, war, fortune, irony, sadness, abandonment, hope, and much, much more.

How can you not love them...
 
Antonello Venditti - Modena - 1979

<<All the fear, hope, emptiness, desire for change, anger, melancholy, and the maturity of those who, at a certain point in life, look back and understand many things.>> There will always be a before and after Modena in everyone's life. An epic piece that perfectly blends public and private.
 
Brian Eno "Golden Hours" Golden Hours for real, when you hear Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, and John Cale playing together in one of the many fantastic "Pop Ballads" churned out like little rolls by Eno in the '70s.
