In recent days the Official regulation of Sanremo Giovani 2024. The new vademecum lists the requirements to be met in order for the application to be considered valid. Among the many new features is the one regarding the age range of the candidates. Access to the artists will in fact be reserved only for those aged between between 16 and 26 years old (instead of 29 like last year). But this news does not find everyone in agreement.
“Dear Carlo ContiI understand everything, the pressure of entering such a tough and heavy machine as that of Sanremo and I have always respected you having worked with you – he underlined Luca Jurman on Instagram -. And I thought you were making some sort of new regulation that would draw attention to art and culture by making necessary changes and giving space and light to artists who are not just part of the world of numbers.. But do you realize that even Pippo Baudo had set a limit to new proposals, but of 36 years. And thanks to this, important voices, singer-songwriters of great depth, have managed to become part of the history of Italian music”.
“No instead of putting things back in order, do you make them worse? – he continued -. You go from 29 to 26? And why exactly 26 years old? Because maybe only young people who are already gained followers and visibility in some talent show? Or via the Internet? And all those who in the meantime have spent money, time, life making sacrifices to study and prepare? All cut off? Yes because if they are not already part of the mainstream they are f**ked. I expected if anything that someone like you would create, I don’t know, a category of young people in streaming separating them from the new proposals of unknowns. And the really big names with a name and career. Let’s hope – he then concluded – that you manage to find a good one the new writing phenomena“.
