Woah, last weekend I presented two evenings of almost non-stop music in the Temple of Italian songwriting, the Club Tenco headquarters. It was incredible to introduce on-stage talented and marvellous human beings who performed awesome music.
Club Tenco is one of those sacred institutions with an incredible history that, unfortunately, are dying because of the lack of young participants.
Since 2017, I am one of the only five under-50 members of the association, and it’s saddening, but also it makes our involvement so special! I am glad the @scambi team (fourth picture) is joining the resistance. If it’s happening, it’s thanks to my wonderful friend Francesco Maccario, a grumpy yet committed Club Tenco member who valued our participation since we were 17, and who now still fights for our voice as young members to be heard.
This is the stuff I love.
Not caring about huge stages nor big crowds, fucking the capitalistic and empty music industry, resisting by still listening to the words in a song, by getting together despite everything and listening to/making/playing music. A bit like what @radiofreefedi and @musicbrainz represent in the digital domain.
Please read the alt text for more context about the pictures.
(I am sorry there are mostly pictures of me, but these are the only ones they sent me. I am egocentric, yes, but not that much 😬)
