Vinicio Capossela

In *Modì* there is a song called *E allora mambo*, which appears in the film *Non chiamarmi Omar*, where Capossela also recites. The next album, *Camera a sud*, is more connected to cinema. It includes *Che coss’è l’amor*, which is part of the soundtrack of *La hora de la religión* by Marco Bellocchio. There is also a scene from the film *Tres uomini e una gamba*, inspired by *La strada* by Fellini.

In 1996 he released *Il ballo di San Vito*, which he himself did not call an album, but a story. It includes songs like *Accolita dei rancorosi*, based on a novel by John Fante, and *L’affondamento del Cinastic*, which talks about a failed experiment in a literary café. There is also *Corvo torvo*, which seems to be inspired by a Canterbury tale. The influence of Tom Waits is clear, and it continues to mark his shows and in the studio.

Other songs stand out like *La pioggia di novembre*, written by Lucia Vasini, and *Tanco del Murazzo*, translated by Paolo Rossi as *Tango de los furiosos*, which appears in the transmission of *Il laureato*. There is also *Liveinvolvo*, with the Kočani Orkestar, and *Canzoni a manovella*, where there are songs like *Bardamu*, inspired by a character from *Viaje al fin de la noche*, or *Decervellamento*, which sounds like the title of a song by a guy who takes things easy.
