I hear the roar of the cannon

On Saturday, March 29 in Chianocco, at 9 PM, at Casa Forte in Località Torre Borgata Grange SP 203, 5, musical performance I Hear the Boom of the Cannon organized by the group Blu L'azard.

A show of sounds, words, music, and songs about The Great War and folk singing by Franco Castelli and Emilio Jona organized by the musical group Blu L’azard.
The text, freely adapted from the book: “To the Boom of the Cannon” by Castelli-Jona-Lovatto, concerns the orality of the popular world and observes from below, through song, that epochal, dramatic, and bloody event that closes the Belle Époque and opens to modernity, dragging Europe into a mass war with new means of death, a war that involves an enormous number of mass men in an unprecedented slaughter.
What dominates this song is the memory and longing for a lost world, that of the small homeland where one was born and the affections for distant mothers, fathers, wives, children, fiancées, and at the same time the aversion to a war whose reasons are not understood.
The show traverses this rich heritage of orality where all genres of tradition are often present in parodic form, from the epic-lyric song to the storyteller's song and consumer song, creating a fresco that the musical group offers us, harmonized in a rigorously philological instrumental and vocal interplay that captivates and moves.
There are events and thoughts drawn from the war diaries of soldiers from the Valle di Susa in the original mother tongue, Franco-Provençal.

With:
• Flavio Giacchero: bass clarinet, soprano sax, bagpipes, voice
• Luca Teghillo: chromatic accordion, acoustic guitar, voice
• Marzia Rey: violin, voice
• Marco Rey: voice of the events and thoughts of Val Susa
