Last night Luca Giacometti “Gabibbo”, Modena City Ramblers’ bouzouki and mandolin player, died in a car crash. Luca joined the Ramblers after I had left, so I can’t claim to have known him well. Despite this, it is always sad when a comrade-in-arms leaves. To his family and the band my condolences and those of Fiamma Fumana.
Just a quick note to highlight Sunday night’s show, at the Civic Hall in Novi di Modena, with the legendary Novi Rice Weeders Choir. I almost forgot about it, then this morning they called me for radio interview… whoa, dude.
Anyway, every year the rice weeders organize a few events in Novi, their home village, to honour the memory of Torino Gilioli, the first choir director, who passed away a few years ago (it was he was directed the choir in “Four Piedmontese” in our first album). I can’t wait to see them! This wil probably be the last From mother to daughter show in 2007, so don’t miss it if you can, it’s worth it!
Well, we’re back! It’s been rough, but very beautiful too. Globalquerque, the great vibe in Millwood Junction, the Shiprock High School where everybody’s a Navajo (the Navajo skater, the Navajo dark lady, the Navajo geek, the Navajo metal fan, the Navajo cop…) and where I detected a great creative potential (a girl stepped forward to sing us a ceremonial song, it was very emotional!), the unbelievable landscapes of Colorado and Grand Canyon, the workshop at San Diego University where we discussed Emilian traditional music, reuniting with our friend Clarissa Clò… see you soon, West!
