THE EAGLE. Powerful and unique voice, dark look and a contagious smile: Skin, singer of Skunk Anansie returns to the L’Aquila area and on Friday 5th he will be the protagonist of the Notte Bianca, the second edition of the Notte Bianca of the City Territory. An initiative created thanks to a synergy between
municipal administrations of L’Aquila and Scoppito with appointments spread across the hamlets of Sassa Scalo, Cese di Preturo and Scoppito itself, a neighboring area. Deborah Anne Dyer, Skin’s real name, was born in the London neighborhood of Brixton on 3 August 1967 to parents of Jamaican origin.
With Skunk Anansie, active in the nineties, she arrived in Italy for the first time at the 1999 Sanremo Festival.
The same year saw one of their biggest successes: the album ‘Post Orgasmic Chill’. In 2001 the group disbanded and Skin embarked on a solo career; she was also a judge on ‘X Factor’. In addition to Skin, the protagonist of a quality DJ set, Fargetta, Dj SiRK, Cricca, El Matador and many other artists will also perform. But this year’s real superstar will be the Mammoth, celebrated on the 70th anniversary of its discovery. The remains are preserved in the Castle of L’Aquila. The Mammut Village will be set up, within which a thematic round table and a series of related initiatives will be organised.
Sport will also play a starring role, with a variety of events including padel, touch rugby and a 10km run. This race, organized by the Scoppito Proloco in collaboration with President Valter Paro’s Atletica Abruzzo, will be open to everyone as a non-competitive walk. There will also be tests for children. Furthermore, there will be exhibition spaces set up in collaboration with Fiva
Confcommercio L’Aquila. The organizational supervision is by the mayors Pierluigi Biondi and Loreto Lombardi. The coordination is by the councilors
municipal councilors from L’Aquila, Katia Persichetti and Livio Vittorini, and by Scoppito councilor Amedeo Tirabassi, in collaboration with the Proloco and local associations.
