The most ancient expression of the Sardinian shepherds resonates in the most sparkling evening of the Festival. The Tenores of Bitti “Remunnu 'e Locu” and Mahmood write a page in the history of music, reinterpreting "Com'èdeep il mare" by Lucio Dalla.
A performance that takes a long time but the show flows like a marvel, with over 100 artists on stage, the Eighties revival of Lorella Cuccarini, the incursions of Fiorello and Amadeus who seems to be returning to relax after the Travolta case. Geolier wins, amidst a few whistles from Ariston. Followed by Angelina Mango, Annalisa, Ghali, Alfa.
THE TENORS - At midnight the tenor singing finally makes its first appearance at the Ariston. In a few moments the thousand-year echo of an entire people, past, present and future, spreads magic on the most famous stage in Italy. And even those who didn't know him are enchanted by him. As in a dream, in the blue of the sea, the Tenores - the quartet composed of Dino Ruiu (voice), Andrea Sella (medium voice), Mario Pira (Bass) and Pierluigi Giorno (Contra) - intone the sound of love, of cult, of the party , adding a verse taken from one of their poems in the Sardinian language composed of 9 verses: «Finis, de s'Oceanu violenceu / Currer dias sas abbaspiùs malas»: «On the sum of the violent ocean I would run the most ferocious waters ».
Mahmood envelops and celebrates one of the purest interpreters of Italian songwriting, in a twinning of extraordinary humanity. And when perfection seems to have been achieved, the unforgettable and immortal voice of Lucio Dalla bursts into the theater . Mahmood dedicates the song «to Sardinia and to his mother», originally from Orosei, then Amadeus covers everyone with the flag of the Quattro mori : «The Tenores of Bitti are unique, Sardinia is a land that the whole world envies us».
