The dates of 10 July in Crespino del Lamone (FI), 17 July at Pavaglione di Lugo (RA) and 19 July in Paestum (SA) are special events that fall within the scope of the initiative Ask who the Inti Illimani are: the protagonists will be the acoustic sounds and traditional instruments of the Chilean group that meet the sounds and words of Giulio Wilson.
Concerts intended as moments of sharing, also to sensitize the public to issues dear to the artists through the wonderful songs of the album of unreleased songs Agua by Giulio Wilson & Inti-Illimani, a record welcomed and applauded by the public and critics, containing thirteen tracks in Italian and Spanish.
An artistic project created in Florence in a pre-recording compositional phase and recorded in Santiago de Chile; an unprecedented artistic proposal, coordinated by the record producer Paolo Maiorino, of two worlds that are only apparently distant and different from each other, where the traditional and rich sounds of Andean music embrace the sounds and words of alternative Italian songwriting, so much so as to combine a new style – certainly unprecedented in musical terms and content – for the Chilean group, among the best known in the world.
The Inti-Illimani and Giulio Wilson meet, find each other and sing, in fact, the problems of current affairs (from the shocking climate changes to the recovery of human values) without nostalgic tones but of hope, to find and choose different paths for the good of world: ways and forms of solidarity for social progress and environmental protection, to recover the measure of things.
With the artistic production by César Jarra and Valter Sacripanti – the music of Inti, which has always been an expression of the community and a vehicle of committed messages, becomes sustainable together with Wilson, at the service of protecting the environment and interpersonal relationships; and the social commitment of the Chilean group’s past is not lacking (as can be seen in the song Revuelta) but in a broader context linked to the dimension of man with respect for his time and the society that surrounds him. Their art aims to contribute to the development and diffusion of environmental awareness in a broad sense, speaking to all generations.
Agua It is an album of pure “artisan conception”, with the typical instruments of Andean music providing colour – such as the bagpipe, the Quechua, the Bolivian charango of Inti-Illimani, the bombo, the Venezuelan cuatro, the Cuban tres – and with the guitar and piano of Giulio Wilson; no electronic sounds, plug-ins or computer effects are contemplated.
They have collaborated on the Davide Pieralisi project (acoustic, classical, electric guitar and ukulele in Vale la pena, Agua, Occhi/Ojos); Juan Flores (Caja in Humedales and in Mi otro yo); Mauricio Campos (three Cubans in Somos); Magdalena Pacheco (Bodhran and pandero in Revuelta); Cristian Pratofiorito (pianoforte su Occhi/Ojos); Roberto Bassi (pianoforte su Chile es un camino); Valter Sacripanti (drums and shaker of Sostenibile, shaker and bass drum aggiuntivo and tone of Querer, Agua, Vale la pena, Ojos and Mi otro yo).
