Max Pezzali at the Imola racetrack to chase nostalgia

The Fuel of Max's Music Pezzali is undoubtedly nostalgia. That of an era - the 90s - which many have loved with its colors, style in to dress, or simply because they were young. Thanks to this magic fuel took place last night at the Imola racetrack an unprecedented competition. Its competitors were the protagonists of Pezzali's songs, presented on the screens above the stage like in an episode of Hanna-Barbera's "Wacky Races", during the concert-event which gathered 85 thousand fans of the singer. The winner of the Grand Prix? "Volta", a character from "With a decade." "For me, who has a passion for engines and music, this is a mythical place", says the artist behind the scenes, in a space set up with a motorsport theme. He's wearing a shirt yellow and blue that recalls the world of racing with the writing "Max Forever Grand Prix," the name of the event. "We decided to create a new live, unprecedented compared to what has already been done so far," he adds, and which connects perfectly with the place where it takes place. In addition to the race, there are several references to the world of speed: from the concert commentary, entrusted to the voice of Guido Meda, in a tribute to the pilots who made the history over the course of "The Years", with Pezzali performing even in a couple of verses of "Ayrton" by Lucio Dalla, dedicated to Senna, who died in an accident in Imola in 1994. the lineup, in addition to the great hits, also includes "Cumuli", "which I've only been on tour in clubs since '93," he laughs, putting it back today is "a way to make peace with songs you don't have considered for a while". In the end, however, Max Pezzali and his energy they also find a space in contemporaneity. First of all proposing in the lineup the piece with Pinguini Tattici Nucleari, "Empty Bottles", which he sang on stage with Riccardo Zanotti. Then, with a stadium tour next year for which 240,000 tickets have already been purchased. Any new tickets projects, he says that "one always writes songs" but "it's not he can simply decide to let it go, otherwise it will be irrelevant absolute, said bluntly. The world I come from had rules. of different engagements". Something, however, is cooking: a text it's already "convincing", and then there are the live shows to organize.
