Paolo Jannacci, I'm not afraid of confronting Dad

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 23 - Music has been his world since childhood. The air that breathed, the food that fed it. An important surname that has not distracted him from his career: Paolo Jannacci, 47 year old son of the unforgettable Enzo, is a well-known musician and composer, especially in the field of jazz. For a long time he kept his voice away from him, like an instrument. "Working with my father, it was clear that he was the genius. It was fine for me to be the ghostwriter, the musician who accompanied him. I knew my limits and concentrated on music," he says.
Then a few years ago the turning point came, which now takes him to the stage of the Ariston, in the race between the Bigs with the song COMEBREARTE NOW (which he had already tried to present in the past), a sweet lullaby dedicated to his daughter. "I started experimenting, also because of the need to hear certain things that my father sang again. And I understood, in a very linear way, that I could try my hand at songwriting. Some genes are not born, for others the process is longer". In homage to Enzo, Paolo chose to bring Ilbrano's cover evening If you told me before, with guest Francesco Mandelli.
"It will be a wonderful emotion." I want to talk to you now, along with another unreleased track, will be contained in the repack of his latest work "Canterò" which will be released on Friday 7 February (Ala Bianca, Warner / Fuga distribution).
Jannacci also intervenes on the controversy over Junior Cally which will inflame the eve of the festival. "If, on the one hand, I think freedom of expression must be legitimate and civil, on the other, I do not approve of free hate demonstrations and activities linked above all to the world of art. which, as far as music is concerned, is also based on the Sanremo Festival ".
