Brunori Sas, the path of energy (including paternity)

In November 2009, at theAtomic Bar from Milan, Dario Brunori – in art already Brunori Sas – performed in front of a small group of die-hard fans. His first solo album had just been released: “A crazy evening, there was not even space for the battery ». Today at thirteen years away and a few kilometers further south, it looks over 11 thousand of the Assago Forum with the same incredulity. Five albums behind, an avalanche of prizes: “It’s great that the people who took the stage with me tonight are the same with whom I shared this path “.

The reference is to the historical band (Dario Della Rossa, Massimo Palermo, Mirko Onofrio, Stefano Amato and Lucia Sagretti), with the addition of new precious travel companions (like Alessandro Stefana and Mauro Ottolini), for a total of 11 elements. “I will be mushy, but I feel this strong sense of family“. His business – not his professional one – expanded last October with the arrival of Fiammetta, the first daughter. «At night he sleeps, but my mother – superstitiously – advises me to don’t say it too often“. He laughs. Backstage he is tired, but happy.

He waited for the tour in the palaces for over two years. Chip!released in January 2020it was meant just for some type of show. But then the pandemic exploded, the music stopped and Brunori is stayed on hold to be able to go wild in the spotlight, com never had in his life. He was used to performing – and we to applaud him – in theatrical contexts, in more “intimate” situations. Now she jumps, dances, runs. And he talks less than usual. “I save my breath! I am no longer a youngster. But I admit that paternity gave me lots of energy “.

Energy is indeed the common thread of a show that attacks very strong (Beyond love, Blessed are you, It happens like this) then slow down (with The world looks beautiful And Bullfighter costume in the dance hall version), veers towards introspection (Kurt Cobain, For two who like uswith Diego and I. which – as usual – takes your breath away) and finally resumes altitude (proposing the timeless Guard ’82 And She, him, Florence). They are not missing the songs from lacrimonitherefore, but they are placed in a different frame, a whirlwind of moods that engages the public.

Attentive, involved, song after song, word after word: “I had this very playful atmosphere in my head, like a mega karaoke“. You go up and down, as on roller coaster. An element that – on closer inspection – has always distinguished the artist’s production and – albeit in another form – his own live performance. But this time there is more: this tour is undeniably different from everyone he has done so far. Brunori succeeded in to changeto evolve, to widen the spaces, the public and the range of emotionsremaining himself.

How are you? It is the opening phrase in the world “. Cult verse of one of his first songs. Already in the lineup at the Atomic Bar, in the lineup also in Assago. And the answer, from those who perform as well as those who watch, has remained the same: “Happy“.
