concerts where the audience gets to sing the songs of the artist I bet you'll have seen many. I bet that you too, more often than not, you just sit there singing word for word the text of your favorite song (lucky you, I could never remember a full!). But a concert where the audience participates by playing not know about you, but I had never seen.
Let's take a step back to a cold yet serene evening of January when there will be a concert in the square in front of the room. The time for sound check and started to rain. The band is then forced to make bags and move inside the room, crammed between the bar and bathrooms. E 'in this context that we introduce Oratio (Nee Andrea Horn), a singer originally from Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto but adopted by Palermo Malintenti under the supervision of Toti Poeta. And in such a context, you'd expect at least some swear by it, forced to play in a square meter of space. But no, there is a smile.
"The concert can begin" and BAM! pass a guy and carries the plug and everything. Swearing? Of course not! Jokes while on the master Oliviero (forced to play with his face to the wall that seems to be a punishment) tries to hang around. Guitarist Jekyll also breaks the string of guitar. Three times. The player piano at some point dies. Nervousness? Of course not! The only regret Oratio is to be inside, not to smoke, but elects amaretto & jack as official drink of the evening.
The songs presented are those of "Now I've " 2009 album chosen as the best record in circulation by the same musicians in Sicily (according to my little survey of the field).
I arrive at the concert this time not fully fasts of his songs, but what I find is that what 'Oratio being played is not the which is in the same disk. L 'Oratio live, while maintaining an enviable calm, has a more passionate, more blood than the sound of the album composed and firm. Oratio is alive and demonstration of how the songwriting goes Sicilian becoming more specific connotations. Divided between Messina, Catania and Palermo, Oratio seems to have absorbed the entirety of all the sounds around the island and have them contained within the songs. His lyrics, which range from the disillusionment of reality el'onirismo flight of fancy, fully reflect what is the spirit of poetic narrative of the Sicilian singer-songwriter, less and less fashionable, more and more a way of expression.
