AB: Not, me I sing that in Italian and French (NDMu: It also sings in English and Allemend from time to time!).
NC: And when you go to Germany...
AB: I sing in Italian. Me I speak the language but I sing in Italian. Not, there that cannot go. It is a marvellous language, very musical, because everyone believes that us (Italian) but it is very musical, for a kind of music romantic it is the maximum. But that does not go with what I do, who am a very rhythmic thing. I made German a song, once, but which was a topic for a film. And there I made a music which was...
NC: For the German language.
AB: Exactly.
NC: And in did English, you test?
AB: Yes, but... There it is a too pragmatic language.
NC: Then, how you are received, in the other countries of Europe?
AB: Well, fortunately well.
NC: Well, I suspect it, but like an exotic singer, precisely, like a species of thing out of time?
AB: I do not know!
NC: There is a a little medieval side, at Branduardi.
AB: Yes, but good. I do not know.
NC: But you know well how you are received when you go to Germany, for example. What one says to you when you make interviews.
AB: Well it is said to me that it is that me, fortunately, which makes these things there, that that is beautiful or not beautiful. Thus, me I always repeat a sentence, but, there is a journalist who wrote one day that Branduardi is like garlic.
NC: Like garlic?
AB: Yes, i.e. a taste extrème, very recognizable, that you like or you hate.
NC: Ca drives out the daemons, therefore.
AB: Yes. Obviously, in Germany, they like garlic. In France too. I do not know pas.Et fortunately.
NC: And in Spain?
AB: Yes.
NC: Does Ca often go still in which other countries?
AB: In Europe.
NC: All countries of Europe.
AB: Yes. Now there is a certain interest on behalf of some countries very far, like Korea or Japan and even in Latin America where I was two weeks ago for the first time after twenty years of career.
NC: And today, when you discover like that of new countries, there is same happiness as there are fifteen or twenty years?
AB: Ah yes, but other thing which should be said, the artists, it is that they are the anxious ones. Therefore...
NC: But you give the indication of other thing, not really of somebody who is anxious.
AB: The image is a thing, reality is another.
NC: And what worries you?
AB: Not, it is not to be afraid or to be, not, anxious i.e. adrenalin. You are there and you think...
NC: It is true that you do not remain much places from there, you.
AB: Not, and you think, it is necessary, it is necessary to go there. It is necessary to steal jams, it is necessary...
NC: What does that want to say, that, " it is necessary to steal jams "?
AB: It is necessary to dismount the toys, it is necessary to go there. But that, much much of musicians whom I knew in my life is traditional or not traditional have that.
NC: It is a bulimia, a form of bulimia, to want all, to want...
AB: Yes, perhaps it is that too.
NC: And the pie-chart with the cream which wants that the artist need love?
AB: Ah that also, obviously. One wants to be loved.
