La Sala Sinopoli dell'Auditorium Parco Della Musica nella splendida cornice Romana sembra, nonostante la sua bellezza architettonica, un po' troppo piccola per i tantissimi fans accorsi il 14 Maggio scorso ad applaudire il celebre cantautore Gianni Togni, il quale, dopo due anni di procrastino del concerto dovuti alla pandemia, e' riuscito finalmente a portare in scena nella sua citta' natale uno show che intende celebrare, seppure in maniera postuma, il quarantennale del suo piu' grande successo discografico, Luna.
In una scaletta che ha ripercorso per sommi capi l'intera carriera del cantautore romano, in oltre due ore di concerto, Togni ha avuto anche l'occasione per raccontare i suoi esordi musicali, alcuni dei quali creati insieme a Guido Morra, uno dei piu' celebrati liricisti della storia della musica italiana dell'ultimo mezzo secolo.
Men Without Hats - Again, Pt. 2

There was a time, in the early 80's, where most of the synth/pop artists were labelled as artists not showing a lot of lyrical substance, within their songs, in a time of music history where, perhaps, appearances were often more at the core of the success of an artist or of a band with their fans and in the music charts than the music itself.
The Canadian collective Men Without Hats, back then, had a major hit called Safety Dance, which, unexpectedly, put them in the same aforementioned musical ball path, at least to the eyes of some music press, although selling very well, from a commercial perspective. Time has then made ample justice to the songwriting and musical skills of the band's commander-in-chief Ivan Doroschuk, thanks also to the remarkable success of albums such as 2003's No Hats Beyond This Point and, most recently, their 2012's album Love In The Age Of War.

There is no doubts whatsoever that the American Guitar Prodigy Joe Bonamassa is an absolute ace as a guitar player and the last night of the leg of Bonamassa's UK Tour at one of the most prestigious British Arenas, the Royal Albert Hall, most certainly confirmed it once again.
Bonamassa, at his 11th appearance at the Royal Albert Hall in the last 13 years, looks in pretty good physical and artistic shape and the 135 minutes that will follow his entrance on stage, amply justify the reason why the American guitarist and singer/songwriter has recorded another sold-out at this very illustrious venue.
