He says it bluntly that Pupo in the Kremlin doesn’t share it at all. Al Bano Carrisi confesses that he was thrilled as soon as he heard the news of his colleague in the jury of the Russian Sanremo who, even in the commercial of the festival, sings Hello beautiful. “I don’t know what’s behind it and I don’t even want to know. I’m angry. I’m not pleased to know that he’s going there” roars the lion of Cellino San Marco interviewed by Messenger.
Astonishment, scandal and above all criticism for the choice of Pupo who will sing in Moscow for Tsar Vladimir Putin. “This news leaves me perplexed. I can’t answer for Pupo” admits Al Bano. “I really didn’t know anything about this matter. I learned the news only now and I’m thrilled. Pupo is free to do what he wants, undoubtedly. Russia”. And he underlines: “But rather than being perplexed by the fact that a colleague has accepted an engagement from a country whose government has started a war that has been causing innocent victims for more than a year, what can I do? I’ll stay here, waiting for diplomacy to block this tragic passage for the history of humanity. And when the moment is right, I will be happy to give two concerts to celebrate peace: one in Kiev and one in Moscow’s Red Square”.
