Ecco l'ennesimo fantastico risultato della espressiva estroversa estrema 
  l'ennesima marketta in un casinò americano, come un Littel Tony 
qualsiasi, E questi sono i sapienti (ROTFL) consigli di uns cosiddetta 
manager che accusa i di lui colleghi di essere diventati "macchine da 
soldi", perchè lei, loro cosa sono diventati? Mi correggo, lui cos'è 
diventato, perchè dai "ragionamenti"  (mi fa orrore usare questa parola 
per le scemenze dette dalla Grande Estroversa Manager di CB, ma non me 
ne vengono di lecite) che ha fatto recentissimamente mi pare ovvio 
dedurre che lei cos sia sempre stata...
Cchissà, forse le sono rimasti degli amici in quel paese e per 
incontrarli rendendo proficua la cosa ha organizzato questo popò di 
evento, tanto per unire l'utile al dilettevole (il fare soldi alla 
vacanza, che le piace tanto).
Ma va a cagher, l'uno e l'altra :(
Vomitix :@

 vacanza, che le piace tanto).
Mah ... a vedere i nomi degli altri "illustri artisti" che si esibiranno,
nello stesso periodo, in quel casinò, si intuiscono alcune cose in più ...
ormai pare una specie di trimurti inscindibile, questa premiata ditta

Italy's musicians have fans, promoters here
BY JULIUS FABRINI REPUBLICAN-AMERICAN
NEW YORK — It was Carnegie Hall's turn Friday to serve as a lightning rod
for Italian-Americans, including some from the Greater Waterbury area and
other parts of the state.
The attraction was a sold-out concert by Zucchero, a singer/songwriter who
earned the title of "Italy's King of Blues" with his unique melding of
American blues with Italy's melodic style and Italian lyrics. The
Grammy-nominated singer is on a world tour to promote his new CD, "Fly," and
will be returning to Manhattan Oct. 8 to perform in the Columbus Day Parade.
Popular singers from Italy routinely perform in Connecticut and nearby
states for devoted fans of Italian music — including ticket-buyers in
Waterbury and surrounding towns. In October, three of Italy's top recording
artists will be headlining concerts at Foxwoods Casino: Claudio Baglioni on
Oct. 8, and on Oct. 20 Gigi D'alessio and Anna Tatangelo. Valerio Federico,
42, who frequently attends concerts by Italian stars, is among local fans
looking forward to the upcoming D'alessio and Tatangelo concert. In the past
few years, Federico, who was born in Italy and moved here at a young age,
has gone to concerts at Foxwoods and other venues for such popular Italian
singers as Massimo Ranieri, Pupo and Umberto Tozzi.
"I like both Neapolitan and other types of Italian music," said Federico,
who listens to Italian CDs at home and subscribes to RAI International, an
Italian-language channel. He emphasized that he, his cousins and friends
want to remain connected with their Italian culture.
Lorenzo Nave, owner of Lorenzo Imports in Waterbury, a distributor of such
Italian items as porcelain, is a long-time promoter of concerts by recording
artists from Italy. He said he was aware of a few local people who went to
Zucchero's concert, but emphasized that most area Italian-Americans prefer
the traditional melodic and romantic music they grew up with because it was
lovingly played by their families. Nave is one of three local promoters of
the D'alessio and Tatangelo concert at Foxwoods in a business venture with
the primary promoter and producer, Fragale Productions, a New York City
company. Nave began promoting Italian concerts in 1972 by collaborating to
bring singers from Italy to the old Poli Palace (today's Palace Theater).
Lupangelo Guerrera, a co-host of an Italian language radio show on
Southington's WXCT, AM-990, said those with strong ties to Italy faithfully
go to enjoy these concerts, many by singers who remain grounded in the
traditional roots of Italian music, such as Neapolitan-based songs. Although
other popular singers with markedly different styles come here, such as
Zucchero and Lucio Dalla, these concerts are usually held in smaller venues
in such cities as New York and Boston, explained Guerrera, who owns Caffe'
Italia in Waterbury, where espresso, various foods and gifts are sold.
Nevertheless, Zucchero and many modern Italian musicians have fans here and
their music does get air time on WXCT, said Guerrera. He said he wasn't
surprised to hear one reviewer say that Adelmo "Zucchero" Fornaciari (the
sugar nickname was given to him by a kindergarten teacher) kept Carnegie
Hall rocking with Italian blues.
An Italian newspaper distributed in Waterbury and other areas mentioned an
emotional moment when Zucchero announced a song, dedicating it simply, "This
is for Luciano," referring to Luciano Pavarotti, who died recently. It was
particularly poignant because Zucchero has collaborated with Pavarotti many
times and the song, "Miserere," was sung along with Pavarotti's recorded
performance.
As for Federico, he wasn't at Carnegie Hall this past weekend, and he won't
be attending the Baglioni concert at Foxwoods. But, he said he had a good
reason: "Actually, I'm going to see Claudio Baglioni Oct. 14 in Atlantic
City. I already had tickets and I'll make a weekend out of it."
