Italian rocker Zucchero spends the corona quarantine in his farm named “Lunisiana Soul” in the Tuscan town of Pontremoli and writes a song with Bono Vox. “I am in contact with Bono about a new song. He is working on the music and I am on the lyrics,” said the “father of Italian blues” in an interview with the daily “Corriere della Sera”.
“I write on a bus that I have converted into a one-room apartment and where I sometimes take a nap. Otherwise, I work in my studio, from which you can enjoy a view of the valley,” said the 1955 as Adelmo Fornaciari born singers.
The corona pandemic, like many others, has forced Zucchero into house arrest. He should have started his new world tour in early April. The first appearance was on April 3 Auckland in New Zealand planned. “The thought of being stuck here makes me a little sad because I really wanted to travel and play live. I think it won’t be done for a long time and that worries me,” he said 64 year old.
“I’m lucky because I live in the countryside and not in an apartment. I walk, watch the plants and animals of the farm, but I miss the little things. Drinking an espresso in the coffee house, going out on the street, friends to meet, chat, discuss and speak. Simple things that warm the heart, “said Zucchero.
“During this time I have more ideas for lyrics than for music. Apart from the tragic moment, everything seems unreal as if it were a nightmare. A bat that has brought the world to a standstill … I hope all of this serves to brake our race so that we can all find our way back to a healthier and quieter life, “said Zucchero.
