Cristiana Polegri “qualcosa E’ Cambiato“ #inspirationalwomen at Elegance Cafè Jazz Club

“”Something has changed”” is the new album by Cristiana Polegri, a collection of Italian songs from the 80s that have remained in her memory and that she wanted to interpret in a new guise helped by excellent musicians and the producer Nerio Papik Poggi. Among others we find remakes of pieces by: Gianna Nannini, Donatella Rettore, Adriano Pappalardo, Raf, Riccardo Fogli, Tullio De Piscopo, Giuni Russo, Marcella Bella and many others.
The words of the artist:
When a song is really successful you realize it by many things. How many people, even from different generations, have known it. How capable of awakening memories and cradling us in that nostalgic atmosphere that makes us hint at a smile and shine our eyes. How long the text has yet to tell. But above all by how much, while changing the shape, the dress and the style, the song maintains its integrity and its nature. Nerio Poggi, with whom I have been collaborating for some time, changed the lights, the make-up and the costumes of a selection of pieces that, for me, have meant a lot in the 80s, giving him back freshness, agility and fun. Arranging, manipulating, quoting, daring, contaminating, experimenting but above all playing, we recorded a record that wants to be a tribute to the music of our most beautiful years. Because after all, yes, something has changed. But certain things remain intact....
