Alone 24 years overwhelm Naples with three sold out at the Maradona Stadium. A mission successful and not at all to be taken for granted, especially in a historical and seasonal period in which concerts of any kind and type are flocking everywhere. Geolier – still firmly at the top of the Album charts with the latest “Dio lo sa” – with extreme honesty and sincerity entertained last night, Friday 21 June, not only his fellow citizens but also fans from Northern and Southern Italy, for the first of the three dates all sold out at the stadium which will see the total presence of 145 thousand spectators.
“I thought for a long time about who to dedicate these three dates to. – said the rapper – My family and you are obvious dedications. My thoughts also go to the artists who represented Naples and made it shine: Pino Daniele, Troisi, Totò and Maradona. Perhaps one of the four I mentioned (Pino Daniele, ed), he would have appreciated this ‘muccusiello’. If she would have heard some songs, at least I hope.”
Over two and a half hours of music with one setlist of 34 songs Between special effects, fireworks, flameswith the artist entering the stage, descending from above, singing at 9 and a half meters high “God Knows“, surrounded by visuals showing the Last Judgment. Accompanying Geolier is the band composed of Guido Della Gatta to the guitars, Carmine Landolfi B Dog on the battery, Francesco Checcho D’Alessio And Max D’Ambra on keyboards, Cristian Capasso to the bottom and Dat Boi Dee And Poison Beatz at the two consoles with a 16-piece string orchestra.
During the evening, friends and colleagues appeared on stage, such as Luchèwith whom he duetted on the notes of “You already know it”, Gigi D’Alessio with “Without tuccà”, MV Killa in “I love but who knows” and in “Cadillac”, then they also popped up Tony Effe And Mavi in “Emirates”. They will also arrive between tonight and tomorrow Mahmood, Lazza, Rose Villains And Gue.
Then a broad speech which contains a summary of the last months of controversy and misunderstandings especially after the Sanremo Festival: “In recent months I have received a lot of criticism to which I have never responded and I will respond, because criticism is always there. – he stated – What I want to say to those who justify evil and hatred with rap, however, is not to take away the power to talk about our good and our evil. Nobody can blame rap if bad things happen, we tell them, we have no responsibility to educate.”
And again: “Above all we rappers tell what happens in our hearts in our families on the street because music saved us from the street. I come from where you all know, one thing I want to say is please don’t take seriously the people who say we are evil, don’t take away the artists’ opportunity to tell stories.” A sincere and shareable speech, which serves as a warning to improvised commentators (on and off television).
Finally a pact of love with his fans: “I want to make you one promise: it will never change, wow! For a simple reason, we have never had all this, so it doesn’t matter if we lose it, it doesn’t scare us. You make me a promise, however, when one day I make a mistake you have to scold me like you do with children, because I am your child.” Geolier has announced another ambitious live in his homeland: 25 July 2025 at the Agnano Hippodrome. Meanwhile, after the hat-trick in Naples, the other stages of the summer tour will visit cities such as, for example, Rome (June 28), Milan (July 6) e Olbia (August 16).
