The first Once I saw Olga Balan was in a movie, Sights crazy of Vincenzo Salemme . In one scene, at one point, Olga sings two famous Neapolitan songs, 'O surdato' nnammurato and Torna a Surriento in Rumanian language. I immediately thought, genius! With the curiosity typical of every journalist, I wanted to know more and was a pleasure to discover this talented singer (from soft voice and very clear) and his love for the traditional Neapolitan music.

I made this album to raise awareness of the beauty of the Neapolitan song to my people, singing in Naples, and to know the language Romania to Italy, singing in Romania ( with texts translated by the poet George Stanca , ed ).

Thus was born my album Gypsy Soul , Published under the title in three different languages, Italian, Rumanian ("Inima de Tigancà") and Romany, the language of the Gypsy population (ILO Rom'ni). I love this music because it's passionate, violent, sweet, poignant sensibility (like Neapolitan songs ...) is performed with instruments such as the gypsy violin (which has a sound that can remain in the blood), the cymbals, accordion and the three-stringed bass. Gypsy Soul is a project to which I hold dear and which I took to the stage with the cooperation of Ministry for Equal Opportunities of City of Rome , 's UNAR (National Anti-Racial Discrimination), of ' Association Join (National Union and the International Roma and Sinti in Italy) and Centre of Popular Culture .

The "Waka Waka "by Shakira, multicultural anthem

What were these good show World Cup in South Africa . Not just for the game and the goal, but for the extraordinary richness of faces, sounds, beautiful landscapes that broadcasters have given us. Everyone will bring their own memory of this great event, although difficult to forget the song that has accompanied so many days of sport and that sums up the spirit who is also our blog. Yes, we talk just Waka Waka of Shakira . Maybe someone storcerà the nose and considered the song too easy and commercial merit reflection. It does not matter. We like mass culture, we love cibarci of its products, of course se hanno qualche contenuto intelligente da trasmettere. È il caso proprio della canzone di Shakira, artista che in questi anni ha saputo mescolare benissimo il talento e la bellezza con l’impegno umanitario. Shakira incarna benissimo quella mescolanza, che tanto amiamo, essendo nata da un padre newyorkese (ma di origini libanesi) e da una madre colombiana (ma di origini italiane e spagnole). Insomma, uno splendido mix di popoli e di culture. Proprio come la sua Waka Waka . Il brano, che domina incontrastato le classifiche musicali del mondo, è infatti un grande inno multiculturale: è eseguito con l’accompagnamento della band sudafricana dei Freshlyground , mentre il suo ritornello “Zamina mina zangalewa” è ricavato da una canzone popolare camerunense (famosissima negli anni ’80…), eseguita da un gruppo chiamato Golden Sound (il testo originale prendeva in giro i neri che si alleavano con i bianchi per opprimere la loro gente). A questo retroterra musicale africano, la bella Shakira ha aggiunto gli amati ritmi caraibici, che l’hanno resa famosa nel mondo, e un videoclip già cult, which mixes images of the World Championships the last four decades with a choreography colored, light-hearted fun. The result? A beautiful song, able to convey enthusiasm, joy, joy to the world. And sorry if it's just ...

We like the rainbow. Because it includes all colors. Neighbors joined together, side by side. Like the rainbow, we like the world's cultures. United and not divided. Near and far. Without barriers or waste. This blog was created by a deep and irrepressible need: to talk about the cultures of peoples who now inhabit our cities, our neighborhoods, our streets, our homes. Why there are not only "us", but there are "others" and "elsewhere". Because, in our hearts, we love the contamination, the intersection, the mixture. That way, it seems a general policy statement and a bit 'naive. But it is not important, we do not care. Will be content to give substance to this our aspiration, leaving the word to the stories of writers, artists, singers, actors (famous or unknown, it does not matter) capable of expressing, each with inspiration and talent, the soul of the land. Because only then will learn to love others just like ourselves.
