(toskanews) – «Yes, I noticed that it is coming back anyway, many songs, almost all, they talk more about personal relationships, even conflicting ones, even difficult lovesor indeed personal interpersonal relationships. As I said, we talk more about the microworld than the macroworld that surrounds us. Perhaps it is also a way to escape from what is very serious around us and return a little more to what surrounds us close to us, to personal relationships” Thus Carlo Conti explained that there was no censorship of topics politicians in the songs competing at the Sanremo Festival. Many ballads among the 30 songs by the big names competing plus the four by the young ones but there are also pop and rap hits. However, rock is completely missing.
The host and artistic director explains this: «The problem is that there are only thirty of them, there were 6 other songs that could have gone into the competition. I prefer to have one less guest and have two more or three more songs competing in the festival rather than having the space to have chats and monologues because I consider it the festival of Italian songs.”
«I believe there is a fairly representative musical variety, although I’m sorry that the rock piece is missing, which I really like, unfortunately this is a missing piece, because the songs didn’t arrive, otherwise I could have selected rock , the bad one that I like, or at least a fairly easy listening rock, there was nothing. However, I prefer to have two more songs rather than a comic space, a monologue whether by a comedian or an in-depth study, and to give more space to music and the protagonists of current music, perhaps even focusing on someone who is not has never been to the festival and is perhaps appearing in this spotlight for the first time.”
