Acqua Fragile # 3
History
first episode
Bernardo telling us:
In may
2013, I did celebrate my forty years in music with a unique event called “VOX
40” .
Welcomed by an exhibition of my artwork, the audience attended a
concert where up to twenty seven musicians gathered to play tracks off the
different bands Bernardo Lanzettihad done vocals for, over the years.
On that occasion, all five original members of Acqua Fragile
happened to meet...
... after a long while and Piero Canavera on drums plus
Franz Dondi on bass, even got a chance to play a couple of tracks off “Acqua
Fragile” and “Mass Media Stars” along with Tango Spleen, a smart modern classical
ensemble.
The idea of working on a new album took form quite naturally even
though Gino Campanini (guitar and vocals) and Maurizio Mori (keyboards)
confessed could not join in. Quite nice though, Alessandro Mori, Maurizio’s son
- a talented young drummer previously with Glenn Hughes and Bobby Kimball - right
after that show, suggested he could be guest on one of the brand new tracks.
The start off was not that easy. The band wanted to keep A F vocal
harmonies but we were missing one voice and we had no key man!
A few subjects, hanging around the band, enthusiastically, were
giving suggestions and advices resulting in slowing down the whole project.
Several keyboardists and guitarists showed up and quit but we had
a bit more of luck with Alessandro Giallombardo on guitar, backing vocals and
keys too.
Even though he wouldn’t join the band, Piero, Franz and
Bernardo could get enough energy to carry on the project.
To be continued in the next days...
