Make way for music on the second evening of the Festival , which advances at a much faster pace than the debut between the show by the unprecedented Morandi-Al Bano-Ranieri trio and the Black Eyed Peas who transform the Ariston into a disco.
Entrance with a broom for Morandi , who recalled the first song that won the Festival, "Grazie dei fiori" by Nilla Pizzi. A tribute to close the Blanco case in music , which yesterday kicked flowers and vases for a technical problem. Even if the "freestyle" produced by Salmo di Fedez who attacked the Codacons from the Costa Smeralda will also give a hard time, snatched the photo of the deputy minister Galeazzo Bignami disguised as a Nazi . To then specify that the text "had not been agreed with Rai".
Then the awaited and unprecedented trio Morandi-Al Bano-Ranieri . The first in the gallery sang "In knee da te", then Ranieri in the audience "Twenty years" and Al Bano "Nel sole". All together, therefore, for the great successes : "I went to one hundred per hour", "If the city burned", "Mattino", "Red roses", "The rain is coming down", "Happiness", "Losing love ”, “One in a thousand”, “It's my life”. Everyone stood up at the Ariston , even to celebrate Al Bano's almost 80 years with a lot of cake. Finally, side by side, they gave an intense interpretation of "Our concert" by Umberto Bindi.
The journalist of Beasts Francesca Fagnani also passes the test with full marks, a self-confident and perfectly at ease co-host. His speech dedicated to the boys in the Nisida juvenile prison in Naples is beautiful. Young people aged 15 to 18 whom he has personally met several times , seeing with his own eyes the terrible conditions in which they live and in which it seems impossible to rehabilitate: «Stealing is not my job. I did it once and look where I ended up,” one of them told her. And again: "We want people to know that we are not animals, we are not beasts, we are not killers forever."
"Schools should guarantee equal opportunities, at least for the youngest", is Fagnani's appeal . The State "must be more attractive, sexier than illegality" and "prisons must re-educate because it is convenient for everyone that that robber, that drug dealer, once out, change jobs". Dry, incisive, applauding.
The space dedicated to human rights and Iranian women was also touching, with the monologue by Pegah Moshir Pouh, an Italian activist of Iranian origin, and Drusilla Foer : «In Iran I could not have been dressed and made up like this – said the 32-year-old – and I could have spoken about human rights from a stage because I would have been arrested or maybe even killed. And for this reason I decided, together with many of my peers, that fear no longer frightens us and to give a voice to a generation that grew up under a regime of terror".
At the Ariston also the American band of the Black Eyed Peas , six Grammys behind them, who made people dance with the medley of "Mamacita", "Don't You Worry", "I gotta feeling". Their latest album, Elevation, released last November, contains songs from millions of streams such as "Simply the Best" with Anitta and El Alfa and the same "Don't You Worry" with Shakira and producer and DJ David Guetta.
Comedy moment for Angelo Duro while Nek and Francesco Renga performed on the Suzuki stage in Piazza Colombo, announcing a new single together to be released in March dedicated to their children.
The Rai promo moment was inevitable, with Francesco Arca on stage together with Mario Di Leva , a very young Neapolitan actor (10 years old) protagonist of the eight-part fiction "Stay with me". “Is it cold at -13?” he asked Amadeus, a notoriously Inter fan, handing him the Napoli shirt.
