Stagioni [Import] Review

And then, long aspected for, the last album of Francesco Guccini was released in may 2000. Guccini is a 50 years old Italian singer, famous forhits like "Dio è morto" (God is dead), "La locomotiva"(The locomotive) and "Auschwitz", being in the beginning inspiredby the music of Bob Dylan. After this recently his music has achieved otherresults in social criticism. He whips a society of talk-shows, falserespectability, tinsels and pushfulness. The first (and last) song of thisCD, "Addio" (Goodbye), is a denunciation of this world and in thesame time a proud-humble memory of his originy from a little town of themountains in the Apennines. But the song I value the most important andbeatiful of the album is "Don Chisciotte" (Italian version ofCervantes' Don Quijote), a contemporary identification with Cervantes'hero, who prefers does not look at the reality as it is (as Sanchoproposes) but fights the Power with rage and fantasy. And a very goodsound! It remembers "Cyrano", a song of his previous album, andit is difficult to value what song is the most beautiful;"Cyrano" was also a love song, but "Don Chisciotte" hasa better rhythm. The album contains also and old song never publishedbefore, "Stagion" (Seasons),not dedicated to Che Guevara, as itfirst could seem, but to '68 young generation, his dreams and delusions."Ho ancora la forza..." (I still have the strenght...) is bornform a collaboration between Guccini and the Italian rockstar Ligabue, withwhom I also took a part in the movie "Radio Freccia". "E ungiorno..." is the second song he dedicates to his daughter Teresa(also starring in "Radio Freccia"), it is a song on regrettedchildhood. A love story (a very ancient one!) is "Primavera '59"('59 Spring). "Inverno '60" ('60 Winter), at last, is a song veryinteresting for the sound aspects, blues-like. On a wall of Sarajevo wasfound a sentences from a song of Guccini, signed "Francesco Guccini,Italian poet. This is Francesco Guccini, I suggest everybody to enjoy hismusic.
