Fifty years have passed since his first album: Eugenio Finardi celebrates the half century of music with a collection entitled significant, All. All In eleven songs: life, the search for meaning, today, the conquests of science and technology, the past that begins to be cumbersome and with which it touches the accounts. An album that, despite the fact that it is murmurs that it is the last for health problems due to the auper and the loss of hearing, contains so much future.
Eugenio never indulges in nostalgia and self-helebration: he simply passes his hand and always has a lot to say, as happens in the touching duet with his daughter, aka Pixelentitled Francesca dreams. Dream It is his invitation to the youngest, similar to the one who also came from Pope Francis When he urged not to let himself be paralyzed by the fears and to take life in his hand or, more recently, from Leo XIV In the Jubilee of young people, when he asked the boys to infect anyone with their enthusiasm.
“I have always had the perception of the absolute, but not linked to a particular religion: it is the precise feeling of being part of something bigger. Spirituality I realize I have always sought it and I found it in the music which, for me, was a direct contact with the Cosmic Absolute. In the end, if you think about it, there is no liturgy that does not foresee singing.
I am not, therefore, a believer in a classic sense and I have not received a religious education, but I am convinced that the feeling of the divine is something that human beings naturally have access and they are brought by birth. Music is an excellent way to get there: it immediately comes to mind it Stabat Mater of Pergolesi, who always listen to to prepare for concerts. But the sacred is also in the gospelIn the rock… I even find it in trap: not so much in the texts, but in the sounds that are very deep, between earth and sky».
