Moviti Ferma is an intimate and groundbreaking concert, in which the theatrical character of Sicilian dialect is absorbed by the rhythmic intertwinement of the jew’s-harp and drums. The original lyrics narrate of a research for balance with nature, of the need to move but to stay still, rooted, at the same time, of challenges and ways of facing them. In a special artistic bond, Eleonora Bordonaro’s voice and Puccio Castrogiovanni’s Jew’s harp pay their homage to the creativity of Sicily, where authors and musicians contribute to the cultural scene of the isle with contemporary sounds.
Eleonora Bordonaro sings in Sicilian and in Gallo italic language, an ancient idiom of middle-age origins, created by the immigrations of northern Italy populations to Sicily throughout the Norman domination of the Sicily. The language is still perfectly spoken in a few Sicilian towns, such us San Fratello and represents a treasure of linguistic richness still to preserve. Like a pearl, hidden, has arrived undamaged to us and has to be shown to the world.
Puccio Castrogiovanni musical skills go from guitar to frame drums, from mouth organ to Jew’s harp, of which is a renowned virtuoso. The traditional instruments, played with a contemporary awareness, sound unexpectedly modern and surprisingly mysterious, rooted and still smiling to the future.
The concert is therefore always different, like a cardboard of a storyteller, in which each picture represents a peculiar point of view of a Sicilian landscape.
