Extraordinar musician, travelling musical synthesis between past and future, in love with the women and poetry, |
Angelo Branduardi
Italian,
Celtic and Jewish like he likes to say, musician and
violonist with the recognized talent, he drew his knowledge
in all Europe through his eternal travels. This strange
character is one of the rare artists to have made a success
of the musical mixture of all the times and European
cultures... To arrive to
this nearly perfect bringing together, he also considered
the language of people: French, English, German, Esperanto,
Italian of course, is means of expression which he
cultivates carefully. The music and the language are at the
base of any communication and any comprehension between
people. Recognized in
the whole world since preceded by the Italians critics,
French and Germanic to quote only they, he represents at the
present time the most perfect " mixture " of the cultures.
He does not disavow any therefore his origins: taking part
in the political life of the village in which he resides,
anthropologist, the economy, the culture and the history of
his country havn't secrecies for him. Angelo also
deals with maltreated children, takes part in human
operations, which tends to prove that the man is conscious
of all the human barriers against which he fights of all his
forces. This artist
represents the marriage of the cultures, of the music and
the expression of the responsibilities with a large " R ".
He sings in the languages corresponding to the countries
which he traverses and transmits an universal message of
peace. His
displacements in France have been extremely rare for these
ten last years although he loves and lived in our country
(Coast of Azur/Alpes-Maritîmes). His album " live "
Caminando-Caminando " recalls very well his course of
European " troubadour " (although he does not like really
this term a little too much classifying) and proves that one
evolves/moves in comprehension human being by travel and
linguistic opening.
A true
thunderbolt: he plays eleven years already professionally,
takes down the " grade " with fifteen, and becomes soon a
wanted musician of Milano studios. His studies
lead him to the university where he plunges in philosophy
(in fact, 3 months... because he thought of finding there
answers to the fundamental questions raised by the
life...;o), while continuing his musical courses. Curious about
all, he touchs with various instruments, discovers other
musics (like the modern music in 1965), writes his first
song at his18 years old (" Confession of a brigand ") and
records in 1973 an album which will never come
out. Conscious of
the difficulties which he will meet to transform his passion
into professional situation, he decides to leave to
Australia. RCA discovers him then and propels him on a
national level with his first
album
