'For example, I like music'. This is the sentence with which her 'Chiamo io chiami tu' starts, the song with which - little by little - she won over the public after the last Sanremo Festival. But it can also be seen as a sort of manifesto, for Gaia Gozzi, aka just Gaia, a young and very talented singer-songwriter.
He enchanted and made the young (and not so young) people of the Fuorifestival dance, as the first guest of the music evenings at the Teatro Sociale.
A story, Gaia's, balanced between two worlds: Italian father and Brazilian mother, European and Latin American musical culture.
The latest album, 'Rosa dei venti', is the third in his discography, but the first entirely in Italian ('I liked to remind everyone that our language is a musical cuddle and that its poetry cannot be equalled').
It is the fruit of travel, like the one that took her to Iceland, but above all the one that made her discover Amazonia: 'For me,' she explained, 'today there is a before and an after Amazonia, because I think I have found 'my place''. It bears a title born almost by destiny: "I had written the first six tracks and there was no title yet," she said, introducing it, "then I started to see the Wind Rose everywhere: tattooed on a waiter's arm, on a mosaic on the floor, on a letter sent to me by friends. At that point, I said to myself: will this be the title I don't get?". A title that speaks of that phase of life, at just over twenty, that seems to have no direction, driven by winds that blow and decide for us: 'My transformation? - she admits - is still happening. It is a daily check with myself'.
