Today I Muvrini have published the start and end date of the Giru, their yearly tour in Corsica, and also two concerts of this tour. They will start on Saturday, August 1st in Folelli, again on the field in front of the bakery Chiaverini. If you would like to know how the concert was there in 2009, click here. On Tuesday, August 10 they will play in Calvi. The Giru will end this year on Friday, August 20. Where exactly is not published yet. Further details will follow of course, but perhaps vacation plans can be made more precise now.
In San Ciprianu a pretty strong wind was blowing during the daytime, but at night with the concert only music was blowing! Click here to read the report of this concert, again with pictures of the soundcheck and the concert. Moreover, there are six videos to watch, three of soundcheck and three of the concert.
In the streets of Isula Rossa I suddenly meet Alain Bernardini but I fail to meet Jean-François Bernardini at the exhibition of I Culori d’Umani. Although a part of the crew and the band is quite ill, is the evening a great success. Click here for the report of this evening with the videos of the beautiful new song “Notte” ( “Night”) and “Diu vi salvi Regina” with the Corsicans!
The concert in Fulelli was a night full of emotions. Actually I can not say anything more about it at this place. To read the full story click here, for pictures of the concert click here. The videos are of the new songs “Tu Mi Manchi” and “Peccatu”. Absolute stunning!
The concert in Vicu was the ninth of Giru this year. The evening went smoothly. Click here to read about my encounter with guitarist Mickey Meinert and sing along with I Muvrini with the video of “Quand’he”.
One of the best songs is, in my opinion, “Di Quale Si L’amore” of the cd “Umani”. The text, the meaning of it, is again wonderful, but because of the subtle interweaving of vowels and consonants, I would call it justly “poetic”. In Bonifacio they played it on August 22, 2009 as follows:
Di Quale Sì L’amore
a m’ai detta tante volte
cusì pigliendumi a manu
è quand ella vene a notte
a mi cunfessi pianu pianu
a m’ai scritta nantu à un fogliu
a mare scemu à mare d’oliu
u nostru portu era quallà
è noi dui à navicà
a m’ai ghjurata più forte
quandu a speranza mancava
ch’elle eranu chjose le porte
è ch’ella era longa la strada
a sai
chì mai
s’è tù mi voli dì
s’è tù mi voli sì
di quale sì
l’amore u fiore
u secretu chì và
l’amore u fiore
u tesoru quallà
s’è tù mi voli dì
di quale sì
s’è tù mi voli dì
è nantu à un scornu di ritrattu
u filu di a to scrittura
«ti tengu caru» da cuntrattu
«à sempre» cum’è signatura
o pè accumpagnà la vita
a gioia è po l’acqua salita
ùn ti ne stanchi di fiurì
u nostru mondu à culurì
è pè assulià ne l’ore
duve lu batte lu mio core
mai ne dormenu e stelle
hè troppu dolce la to pelle
s’è tù mi voli dì
s’è tù mi voli sì
s’è tù mi voli dì
s’è tù mi voli sì
s’è tù mi voli dì
di quale sì
you’ve often said to me take my hand this way when nighttime closes in you whisper it to me wrote it in your letters sea of stillness or sea of rage towards our port so far away to navigate forever
your promise was never stronger and once more filled with so much hope at the long expanse of road and before unopened doors
you know forever if you want to if you want to tell me whose are you the love the flower the secret to share the love the flower the treasure there if you want to tell me whose are you if you want to tell me
at the bottom of a photo you wrote for me the words « I love you » your soul pledge and signed it « for ever » then to escort this life through its joys and sorrrow you go on flowering our world with colours
to light up the moments where my heart is beating where stars can never sleep on mine your skon so sweat
if you want to if you want to tell me whose are you the love the flower the secret to share the love the flower the treasure there if you want to if you want to tell me…
