Tosca, I’m back on tour with a nostalgia for the present

The wait lasted almost two years, but now Morabeza is ready for his journey. Morabeza, the disc that Tosca released in 2019 (and reissued the following year with the addition of the song I loved everything presented at the Sanremo Festival), winning two Tenco plates for Best interpreter and Best song. Morabeza, like the Cape Verdean word that indicates the nostalgia that is consumed in the present, when one experiences something remarkable, the awareness of the beauty of a present that will soon belong to the past and the certainty of nostalgia that will accompany the memory .

“In being able to enjoy the little things – Tosca tells ANSA – there is the essence of morabeza, which is also the meaning of the show. The pandemic, in this sense, has taught me a lot, it has given us the opportunity to take care of ourselves and not take anything for granted. I risked losing my father, not to covid but to a bad depression, and I learned to value what I have. Now that I’m back on stage I can’t wait to live many moments of morabeza. In some time, perhaps, we will see these months from a different angle: when the pain goes away, only the beautiful things remain. My grandmother used to say that life changes you because it is a war “. After the stop in Naples, the artist is ready to make his debut in Rome, on November 5 at the Auditorium Parco della Musica, to then take his musical journey – a bridge between the Italian roots and music from elsewhere, especially French. , Brazilian, Portuguese and Tunisian – around Italy and the world, reaching Dubai, Sharjah, Brazil (coinciding with the release of the album on the Brazilian market), Uruguay, Paraguay, Peru, United States.

“In these two years the initial project has changed, it has adapted, it has evolved. I have studied a lot and devoured music of all kinds. And in the live, therefore, there will not only be the songs from the record, but much more. I believe that this tour will also become a live record. And for each stage I will try to make an ad hoc gift for the public “. Who has no doubts, will not be stopped by fears related to the covid. “I feel that there is a desire for music, for live performances. Perhaps – and I also speak as a woman of the theater – prose can be affected more, but more for a specificity that has been lost a little and for a program that is missing. the theater, already tired before the pandemic and perhaps penalized by television, must be given an education. In the meantime, I would like to shake hands with each of the spectators of my shows: whoever comes to see you is still a hero “.

For Morabeza in Teatro, which sees the musical direction of Joe Barbieri amid the atmospheres of color and warmth of an imaginary South American living room designed by the scenographer Alessandro Chiti, Tosca – who never stopped “but one thing is the open-air concerts one count those indoors “- will be joined by Giovanna Famulari (cello, piano and voice), Massimo De Lorenzi (guitar), Elisabetta Pasquale (double bass and voice), Luca Scorziello (drums and percussion), Fabia Salvucci (percussion and voice) . “With a female majority”, he is keen to emphasize in times when women are often cornered. “There is a need like air to claim all-round rights. And I am also thinking of immigrants, of the Zan ddl – adds the artist -. Loving our neighbor is a condition of the soul. Differences enrich us. It was my grandmother, an emigrant returning from America, to teach me hospitality. The attempt of a certain policy – hypocritical – to divide us has the objective of controlling us. But the people are further ahead, the achievement of certain objectives, such as divorce or abortion in the past is only a matter of time “.
