The new song by Calcutta and Giorgio Poi, entitled "La Musica Italiana", tells the nostalgia of Italians abroad through the most apt metaphor: Italian food
Italian music is a bit like Italian cuisine, or at least it is in Italian new single by Giorgio Poi and Calcutta, called precisely "Italian Music". The correlation is already evident from the cover of the single, the design of a plate and a fork, colored with green, white and red.
The two singers, idols of the Italian indie, duet for the first time in an unpublished, to remind us never to take for granted what surrounds us. In our case, a good dusting of parmesan on pasta.
Italian music: the new single by Giorgio Poi and Calcutta
"I wonder what you think
Now that you're far away
If it still makes you sick
Italian music "
The piece tells a story in which many young people today can recognize themselves, probably inspired by the experience from Italian abroad by Giorgio Poi. There is talk of a girl who ran away from her country to look for something new, which Italy could not offer her. Not even the Italian music was right, as confirmed by the list of most despised artists, indicated in the lyrics: Vasco, Battiato, Battisti, Dalla and, with a little 'self-irony, even the same Calcutta and Giorgio Poi.
"But maybe who knows
If you miss Parmesan
Everything is different up there
Put some nostalgia on pasta
To me for example
From the next room
The songs look better "
And here's the gastronomic metaphor: sometimes we can better appreciate something only when we are far from it. After all, the greatest concern of Italians abroad is food.
"There is only a bit of nostalgia in the Tesco blue envelope": The nostalgia it came shopping at Tesco, the famous supermarket chain in the United Kingdom, where presumably the Parmesan cheese is not what we are used to knowing or it costs too much for a young off-shore. What seemed so obvious to us is not anymore and this good nostalgia helps us to enhance it better than before.
Finally, behind the kitchen and Italian music, behind the little arrow to those who idolize regardless of what is foreign and demonize what it has at home, there is perhaps a classic love story gone wrong, which makes you ask "maybe who knows if seen from a distance, maybe everything is different, maybe you think it's better ".
In any case, the advice of Giorgio Poi and Calcutta is this: if we look at it from a different angle, we can also fall in love with what we believed to despise or rediscover the most banal thing, for example the Parmesan on pasta.
