(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 24 - From April to September he resumed his life ("I traveled, took planes, I had fun"), for another four months he retired to a desert island with his team to give new vigor to his creativity and to think about his music, now Achille Lauro is ready to return, and he does it among the 25 Big competing in Sanremo, with the song Domenica and the HarlemGospel Choir (and for the cover evening he chose Sei beautiful with Lorraine Bertè).
His fourth consecutive participation (three in the competition, one as a permanent super-guest), a sort of festival record. "But it is not competition that attracts us - Lauro speaks strictly in the first person plural -, in this case I would have brought a song like March 16. Instead we use Sanremo as a showcase, one of the hundred projects we have. A broadcast in which I have my 4 minutes for five evenings. to let my creativity arrive. Let's go there to bring something that no one has ever done. For me, music can be seen, perceived, it is a world that sweeps everywhere ".
He amazed with his "paintings", with his tricks, with his costumes. "But it is an understatement to talk about disguises. For me it is a staging of the song itself. And I always try to go further, which does not mean transgressing, but always doing something different and more, so as not to repeat itself and stagnate in one's comfort zone. sense - he jokes - I have been trying to destroy my career for years and I have not yet succeeded ". And then he deepens the link between art and education: "It is not art if it does not arouse something, if it does not move something, if it does not divide". In an attempt to always go further, Achille Lauro publishes "Achille Lauro -Superstar" on 11 February, a new edition of the latest Lauro album, including new songs (including the Sanremo song).
The album (and Sanremo) is the first of a series of Lauro's appointments for 2022: the tour with the "Electric Orchestra" kicks off on May 27 in Rome with three dates ("it will be very rock and roll, but also a crossover with the musical ") and the collaboration with Amazon Prime that will lead him to write soundtracks and perform in small cameos.
But he will also be the first artist in Europe to hold an event-concert in the world of metaverse and gaming.
