This time it is true that “there is a bit of Italy in this America”. The arrival of the Moonlight in the United States, and in particular in New York and Las Vegas, he made the expats and the numerous young fans of the band very happy, which he definitively hosted by Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, opening the Rolling Stones concert and then landing on The Ellen Show. Finding a ticket a few days before the band’s first concerts was practically impossible, not only due to the small spaces in which they would play, but also because the hype in the Italian community was skyrocketing. Some touting sites were asking between $ 300 and $ 500 to listen to them in Brooklyn, a cost that usually characterizes Hamilton on Broadway. If singing in one of the best-known programs on the East coast were not enough, being committed to warming up Mick Jagger’s audience has definitely broken down the door to rock Olympus, while Drew Barrymore and Miley Cyrus posted selfies with the group on Instagram. In Italy we are used to waiting for external comments and appreciations to confirm the value of what we do in certain fields. With the Måneskin this becomes less true, before there was X Factor, then Sanremo, and now here they are, in the world rankings.
In addition to the talent, the big wins and the impressive managerial work behind the Måneskin, there is also the spirit of the time. For Italian artists it is not obvious. For years, we well know, the formula was always the same: sing in Italian and hardly ever leave national borders (except the large and rare exceptions such as Toto Cutugno) or sing a little, if not always, in English, and hope to get outside too. I’m a fan of Friends they will remember a comment by Stash, leader of The Kolors, who confirmed this obstacle halfway between curse and snobbery: “In the beginning nobody wanted us because we sang in English.” It was 2015, in six years the linguistic abilities of the listener have probably changed and winning the Eurovision has obviously made the nationality and source language of the winners irrelevant. If anything, being Italian, paraphrasing what Måneskin themselves say in the last single MAMMAMIA, it’s really cool: «They ask me why I’m so hot, ’cause I’m Italiano». Being healthy carriers of beauty is another point in favor, especially if we go back to the other side of the ocean. One of the many ideas about Italy is that we are generally beautiful inside and out, either for the sun, or for the spritzes, and that the artistic, natural and culinary heritage of our country are somehow proof that the wonderful is also physical. , palpable. Consequently, and in full, seeing Damiano, Victoria, Ethan and Thomas on stage can only confirm that idea and give water to the mill of the “Bel Paese”.
Americans are generally a very enthusiastic people and have a television that tends to show this aspect: a song is always wow, a guest is an amazing person, five minutes on stage are the best thing I ever done. Fallon went crazy when Måneskin sang their version of Beggin’, song originally from 1967 and which, in the United States, has spread a lot on TikTok with 10.5 million uses in the videos of the platform. The record in his hands, Fallon began banging objects, imitating the electric guitar and repeating «They are incredible», They are incredible. As Italian guests in such a widespread program (especially online, the video of the performance has been viewed 3,690,879 million times) and with the blessing of the Rolling Stones the Mäneskin are managing to go further, and much, and not because it is fundamental cross the Alps, but because Italian music has many and different facets, and has a history and a rock past. Furthermore, living off music is not always possible, as demonstrated by almost two years of artistic stoppage due to covid-19, and this group makes you dream a bit about healing after months of silence and anxiety.
It must have been great playing in Brooklyn and Los Angeles and selling out in a foreign country full of events, inspirations and big names, and making it. And sweat, stick out your tongue, dishevel after a Sanremo (rightly, it was not the time) without an audience and a Eurovision full of controversy. The Mäneskins are doing this too: they are disheveling who was there and who will arrive.
