1. Batisto Coco

Semo ciapai coe bombe. Quarant'anni di musica

"Semo ciapai coe bombe"? Forse, certo è che nei Batisto Coco la voglia di suonare e far ballare, al ritmo di salsa, mambo e cha cha cha, c'è ancora tutta! E per festeggiare i quarant'anni sul palco, e i dodici album incisi, hanno scelto di raccontare la loro storia in questo libro che riprende la stessa fresca ironia dei pezzi che li hanno fatti conoscere e amare a un vasto pubblico, non solo d'appassionati di musica latino-americana. Canzoni che tratteggiano piccoli spaccati di vita lagunare, costruite con abilità e arguzia, come in "Tatiana", "Bacan" "Cucador, "Oro benon", "El telefonin", dove la cadenza della lingua veneziana si muove a proprio agio sulle ritmiche nate sulle misure dello spagnolo parlato a Cuba e in Sud America. E a commento dei testi selezionati, gli autori rivelano aneddoti a volte curiosi che hanno fatto da spunto alle storie messe in versi, riferimenti ai temi d'ispirazione attinti dalla musica classica e tradizionale, e ricordi dei molti compagni di viaggio che si sono avvicendati nel lungo percorso dei Batisto Coco.
