Friday the 11th of July, 9.00 pm
The third edition of the Music and Spirituality festival brings attention back to questioning, to reflecting on what authorial music can do to give voice to an inner need. The protagonist of the evening in Baveno will be Federico Dragogna: he is a guitarist, composer, lyricist and producer born in 1982 in Milan. He has released six albums and two ep’s with Ministri – a band in which he plays, writes and produces songs – and has worked on as many for, among others, Vasco Brondi, Paola Turci, Iori’s Eyes and Lucio Corsi. In 2017 he realised his his first soundtrack for the documentary ‘The Man Who Stole Banksy’, and since 2019 he has been touring clubs and theatres with the show ‘Quello che ho capito di De André’. After ten years of music journalism (Tuttomusica, City Milano, The Good Life), he also continues to deal with communication, songwriting and the music industry in workshops, panels and meetings at festivals, reviews and universities.
Before the live there will be a conversation in which the artist reveals himself, talking with the journalist and essayist Pierfrancesco Pacoda, bringing to the Festival his own vision of spirituality, not in a strictly religious sense, but in the sense of a relationship with a non-material dimension, detached from pure musical production. In case of bad weather the event will be held in the Nostr@domus Cultural Center.
