On Saturday, April 26 at 09:00 pm in Caprie, theater at frazione Novaretto, Europe square, La muzica qu’i vìnt dal ròchës - Music that comes from the rocks show concert.
Through music, lyrics, songs and sounds, the figure of a man is told, the maestro Quintino Castagneri (1919-2007), who as a sort of pioneer of ethnomusicology, at the end of the 1960s, self-recorded himself to document the traditional music of his town, Balme, alte Valli di Lanzo (TO), to leave traces of a sound and social world that was disappearing. A subject and a story that, like in a novel, could live and belong to any place crossed by the inexorable passage of time. The genealogy of a family is told, that of the Castagneri, whose certain origins in the Valley date back to the 16th century, but it is also a reflection on technology and solitude: the use of means in order to communicate in which, however, communication is mediated, precisely, by technological means and what pervades the present is a sort of solitude.
