The times that the band of My soul he tried to join the cast of the Big di Sanremo. They are back in the race for the first time since 1970 and it took a song written by The List Representative to convince Amadeus. «When I listened to it I immediately thought “hey, but this is perfect for the Country Cousins”», the artistic director had told during the preview listenings for the journalists of the 28 songs in the competition. The over seventy-year-olds will then go on stage at the Ariston with Letter 22 and, we are sure, it will be a great show.
Ivano and Stefano Michettithe two historical components of the band, together with the singers and keyboardists Nick Luciani and Tiziano Leonardimake their dream come true, celebrating their career on duet night when they sing their world-famous song My soul together with Paolo Vallesi (and his The force of life). But we had already heard so much about the band in recent times, due to a strange habit of controversy on social media. From a few hours ago the accusation a LDA, the son of Gigi D’Alessio, competing among the Bigs, in an interview with Diva and Donna that we didn’t go near to greet them. Immediately the apologies of the young artist, unsolicited and probably not due, on Twitter.
However, the thought immediately turns to another more recent piece of their history. In fact, there was a lot of talk about them in 2021, for a controversy against the Måneskin, which went viral on social media.
It was 2021 and the Måneskin were playing Las Vegas when the Country Cousins accused them of copying their looks. «The Måneskin performed in the USA, before the Rolling Stones, IMITATION, in dressing I Cugini di Campagna. JUST COPY OUR DRESSES» they thundered. But they didn’t stop at words. With lots of photos demonstrating their accusation, the band had compared Damiano’s look with stars and stripes with a similar garment worn by singer Nick Luciani.
Social media had responded, making the photo viral, amid irony, laughter, controversy, without excluding those who agreed with the band. «For better or for worse, as long as we talk about it» was their next comment, but they returned to the fray with another photo, this time with guitarist Thomas as the protagonist and an even more direct caption. «Dear Måneskin, you could have come to our studio, we would have given you our costumes… And you would have saved a lot of time and money». Hard to believe that Damiano & co were inspired by the look of the Cugini di Campagna, but the (unfounded) tendency to accuse them of plagiarism had also already occurred on the Sanremo stage for that refrain “we’re out of our minds” by Shut up and Good which, according to some, was a little too reminiscent of the song FDT by Antony Lazlo. However, it is certain that, having both groups on the Sanremo stage in its seventy-third edition on the evening of Thursday 9 February, social networks will not fail to underline any similarities. Damiano warned, better check how Nick will be dressed.
