As a review, he commented that “Bocelli was being prepared to do opera, but for that you have to act and he, due to an ocular glaucoma problem, became blind and couldn’t do it,” so “they were left with a voice.” wonderful without knowing what to do, but they saw the glass half full and put together this pop lyrical genre and broke all the schemes.”
In his particular case, he acknowledged that “I was a rock lover and I loved opera, but it seemed crazy to me to be able to put them together,” so “when I listen to Bocelli I go crazy and I start to create the first lyrical pop group.”
At that time, he recalled that there were already groups of this style, but they were from the old continent and the United States, so “being Argentine, the son of a dyer, without money and without a famous last name, it was very difficult for me” to put start the idea.
Despite this, he said that “he finally rounded out the idea in 2014, when I went to look for Fede Picón, the baritone, whom I had listened to 7 years ago and I had loved what he did,” and then “to search together to the light tenor, which is Sebastián Russo”, at which time “the group was formed, which today works with the symphonic aspects of an orchestra, but also with rock and pop instruments, to form something that stops We are unique and we love her.”
Regarding the show that will be presented at Concordia on June 16, he commented that “it is called Italian Lyric Night and we have had it since 2020, but 10 days before its premiere they declared a pandemic and it was stopped for two years.” In his words, the group’s idea is to “shoot for two years with each show,” so “in 2023 we were finally able to leave and we will do all of 2024, to finish it at the end of the year and start preparing for the next one.”
In this regard, he announced that “the show brings together the best of the opera that was born in Italy that most people know and the most famous songs that, for example, we do one in chacarera rhythm.” At the same time, he mentioned that “we also include popular Italian songs that were stars of festivals and we include some repertoire in Spanish.”
In addition, he anticipated that “in the middle of the show we pay tribute to the heroes of the Malvinas by singing a song that we shot on the islands and is our own authorship, which has already been congratulated by two candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize.” A moment for which “we invite all the Malvinas heroes who live in the area and, when the song ends, we make them stand up to applaud them in the theater.”
Finally, he assured that “the show is very back and forth, with a lot of humor,” so “people have a lot of fun.” During the development “we got off the stage, we had singing contests and we did an acoustic performance at the piano, for which it has already become a classic that people ask us for Rafaella Carra songs on purpose so that we can sing lyrically and we reversion them.” Falcone assured that “we love the interaction with the audience and they realized that they can participate, that we listen to them, so they shout things at us from the audience and it is very entertaining all the time.”
The trio will take the stage at the Odeón Theater in the city of Concordia next Sunday, June 26, and tickets are now on sale.
