Fogos and Logos, the rhymes of Neoneli's Tenores on the fires in Sardinia
The Barigadu quintet points the finger at the killers of fire. Songs and verses in their book, soon to be published
Sardinia continues to burn. The island, at the mercy of the flames that have been gutting its soul for days, witnesses the fires and cries. But he doesn't give up. And he points the finger at the arsonists who, once again this year, have turned their backs on their land.
Anger and disappointment also come from the Tenores di Neoneli who, led by the founder Tonino Cau, have dedicated some rhymes from their forthcoming book "Fogos e Logos" to fires. The volume will also include a disc and will confirm the Barigadu quintet's commitment to important issues such as the environment, to be disseminated with songs and verses in the Sardinian language.
