A new series of THREE free lectures on Italian music from Sanremo to Spotify, with Lev Kats (translator from Italian to Russian and interpreter). Event in ITALIAN, online only. To book and receive the link for the Zoom meeting, please fill in the REGISTRATION FORM.
How does the Italian concept of “musica leggera” translate into other languages? If they really are “just songs”, how come we find De André in school books, among the most important Italian poets of all time? Where can we draw a line between artestic songwriting and pop? Do streaming platforms help local talent find their audience or do they homogenize the entire music scene? How is the tradition of Italian popular music reworked? And where does rap fit into today’s musical landscape? Let’s try to frame the path of Italian pop music in a short cycle of free lectures in Italian by Lev Kats, translator, interpreter and enthusiast of good Italian music.
