A Christmas Carol and Festivity Concerts

Tracklist ideas for the first Christmas concert.

Festivity concerts, December 2001

December is a month that turn Sagittarian people mad, because it is full of celebrations, lights, hangover and eves. So, let's get into it, going from one festivity to another. During December it seems like you go back to something, it is a period of sentimental euphoria. I always dreamed, like confidential singers of the past, to produce a recording that suits Christmas time, a wholesale of snow, but so far I settle for a recorded memory. 

The setlist includes songs like “Aggita”, “Viene giù dal ciel”, “Tico Tico”, a Strass' grand waltz, “Dankeschoen”, “Angelina”... Songs that can be publically played only during festivity times. They can be blended with some Chinese stuff, since Chinese locations are the only ones that look like Christmas the whole year. And go back in time with pieces of youth that overflow, with our Giant Band, a formation that is opened to guests. 

We chose to play these sparkling wine bubbles, because they, as snow flakes and stars, fall on their own, and then they get larger for sentimental expansion. They are not always good feelings, but often they get close to it. A condition which gets more precious the more death is around.

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody. 

Vinicio
