Romantic and dark: Nick Cave magnetises Lucca – Chronicle



[ad_1]

LUCCA

A magnetic concert. Eight thousand spectators found themselves on a place Napoléon at the court of "Re Inchiostro". A magical evening, a musical immersion for fans of Nick Cave who did not want to miss his only Italian date at the Lucca Summer Festival. A performance with poetic and romantic atmospheres alternating with dark and rock in the early days of the Australian singer-songwriter, one of the most revolutionary artists in the history of music. On stage, it's his "family", the Bad Seeds, a group of extraordinary musicians who can give color and depth to his music. The long black hair shining and "holding" still black, Nick Cave kidnapped the audience with whom he was seeking contact, grazing, shaking hands, hugging. A collective ceremony, started with the song "Jesus alone", completed by the songs of the last "Skeleton Tree", invaded by the pain of the tragic death of his son Arthur and the energy of worship songs drawn from the a long discography, from "From She to Eternity" to "Tupelo". And then "the song that cries" to the very sweet "In my arms" to the beautiful and hypnotic "Push the sky away". A crescendo of emotions, different tones and atmospheres, two hours of great intensity

And tonight it is reproduced with another great rockstar. Perhaps the rock star par excellence in style and stage presence. An expected return to the Summer Festival, five years later, that of Lenny Kravitz who will present a preview of some excerpts from his unreleased album "Raise Vibration" released in September. But the training of this 54-year-old multi-talented New York artist, who plays guitar, electric bbad and harmonica, will focus on the ultra-recent repertoire of the American star. There will be clbadics of his sound soaked in blues and soul, and a tribute to Bob Marley (Kravitz

is half African-American Caribbean and lives in the Bahamas for several months).

The concert will be opened by Gary Clark Jr, Texas bluesman. And who knows that the new Kravitz flame, Barbara Fialho, supermodel for Victoria's Secret, will not be shown in Lucca. –
