Cantodiscanto plays - in the day dedicated to the commemoration of the victims of Coronavirus - the songs of the cd Pandemusica (Visage Music editions), conceived in the period of the pandemic, and which draws inspiration from it, both in terms of lyrics and working methods.
The group collaborated with many old and new fellow travelers, who gave their contribution also recording at distance, when it was impossible to meet together.
The music is a kind of ethnic-acustic style, recalling the portuguese fado, Brasil and Early and Folk Southern Italy and Mediterranean music. Compositions are by Guido Sodo, Ivan Valentini, Paolo Caruso, Frida Forlani and Faisal Taher.
As far as the lyrics, the group goes on with its multi-cultural style: there are some lyrics in Portuguese, due to collaboration with the Italian writer and journalist resident in Lisbon Marcello Sacco who freely drew inspiration from Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet, an arab song by Faisal Taher and some stuff from Naples and Campania Folk Repertoire.
There is the usual use of Neapolitan, the mother tongue of Guido Sodo, who wrote the rest of the lyrics, but this time he used Italian in several passages, even in the invented archaic form of the song that gives its name to the CD.
