"Which language is the most musical? Arabic? The Milanese dialect? The Sardinian language?"
To the question of Geppi Cucciari , yesterday evening during “Splendida cornice”, Rai 3, Alessandro Mahmood answers like this: «The Sardinian language. I can say that Sardinian is a little more musical than Italian, because it is a little closer to Spanish. And as a child I always enjoyed singing Sardinian songs, nursery rhymes».
Geppi Cucciari: «What nursery rhyme do you know?» «Nanneddu meu, the one my parents always sang to me». At this point Geppi Cucciari and Mahmood sing together the song written by the poet Peppino Mereu di Tonara at the end of the nineteenth century. And the studio audience gives them a warm round of applause.
"This is the episode for Videolina", smiles the presenter. During the long "guest appearance" of Mahmood (mother from Orosei, Egyptian father) opened with the interpretation of "Spunta la luna dal monte" by Pierangelo Bertoli (relaunched by the author with Tazenda), also sung by Geppi Cucciari, many aspects of the personality of the artist, two-time winner of the Sanremo festival, emerged.
Urged by Cucciari, Mahmood opened up with sketches like Mimma's hamburgers, his height ("1.82 meters, on Wikipedia they took off two centimeters, I certified my height in the pharmacy in Orosei"), the teacher's phrase written every three pages of the diary ("Head in the clouds").
Geppi Cucciari was brilliant when she filmed the guest with a double microphone, “ice cream” and “clip” on the lapel of his jacket, «pinned to his chest», says the presenter from Macomer, who showed some fragments of a documentary on Maria Lai, with touching considerations on the great artist from Ulassai, hoping that RaiPlay can publish it.
Geppi Cucciari, who also tested the degree of Sardinianness of Mamhood - with the question "Ia ti crieas crasa", with 4 options, one correct and three hilarious - found during the broadcast a new definition for the Sardinian-Egyptian artist with residence in Milan: . Sincere and emotional the gratitude of Mamhood for the support received from Geppi Cucciari during the last Sanremo. The artist, guest on the stage of the Ariston, has received great acclaim, from the public and critics.
