A month of concerts in the square in Bologna Initiative of the Municipality for young people

A month of concerts in the square in Bologna Local and international complexes will alternate - Performances from Sunday until June 2 BOLOGNA - The understanding between the administrators of Bologna and the young people (after the events of March and September '77) will perhaps arrive on the wings of music.

The Municipality has organized, with the musical cooperatives "Harpo's bazaar", "Staff", "La pera" and "Creaser", the festival "/ youth, the city and the music" which, starting next Sunday and ending on June 2nd, will anticipate the Bolognese theater summer by one month.

The meeting point is Piazza Maggiore, the scene of great city events. The city administration will pay: 30 million in all. "It is - said the commissioner for general affairs, Federico Castelluccl - of a precise choice of cultural policy that focuses on the conviction and awareness of the need to recognize the roles that these groups play for the dissemination and deepening of musical culture ª. And, again, "it is an attempt to devote particular attention to the problems of young people, in the awareness at the same time that the municipal administration does not have the tools to solve them, but this does not mean that it must not commit itself with passion and consistency to bring an effective contribution to their solution.

Starting with groups that have been working with passion and determination for years, is an indication of the will to recognize this activity, is an indication that a dialogue has begun ª.

The initiative should continue and invest not only in Piazza Maggiore, but get to the neighborhoods. For the young musical environment of Bologna, the review is a big affirmation or, better, the consecration of an affirmation, because currently the Emilian capital in this field is at the forefront. Among 1 local complexes that will alternate in Piazza Maggiore on May 16 and 23, there are: ´Andy Forrest and the Stumblersª, ´Confusional Quartetª, ´Jazz Band La Pera Skiantosª, ´The live music big band "," Gaznevada ", " Nomos", "Windopen", "Luti chroma".

Many of those who were on April 2 last year at the rock concert held at the sports hall under the banner of "From the cellars to the asphalt", which provoked different reactions. From the applause to the throwing of bags of dung, to the negative comments of "Bifo", one of the historical leaders of the movement whose complexes such as the "Skiantos" constitute, according to some, the creative wing.

A concert which, if at first caused perhaps some crisis of musical identity, resulted, not only in its own strength, in that evolution which is now called the "new wave" of Bologna. However, the program does not only include local music.

There are also the Turin girls from Clito (for Friday 23 May) and two complexes of international measure: ´Art ensemble of Chicagoª and 1 ´The Clashª who were the protagonists of English ´punk-rockª with 1 ´Sex Pistolª and that have recently gained worldwide acclaim. It is all for them on the last evening, that of June 2, entitled "80s: the roots of rock'n'roll passing through the punk of the 70s". if at first it caused perhaps some crisis of musical identity, it resulted, not only by its own force, in that evolution which is now called the "new wave" of Bologna.
