Bandabardò and Cisco together again
It was supposed to be a collaboration limited to a tour and a record that began in 2022 between Bandabardòorphan of the deceased Enrico “Erriquez” Greppi, passed away on February 14, 2021 and Stefano “Cisco” Bellotti. Now the two artistic realities meet again and for the last time, for two new songs and a tour that started on April 25th and will end on October 5th after 18 (for now) concerts.
It is precisely, and not by chance, the May 1st – when Labor Day is celebrated in the world – the date chosen by Bandabardò And Cisco for the release of their new single, “Sunday” (accompanied by a video), and to the other unpublished “Let the party begin”.
The song describes with bitter irony an Italy which – despite the great economic and social difficulties, the promises and betrayed hopes – manages to get by happily: “Your work no longer exists here” recites the incipit of the piece, while in the chorus it is repeated that “Tomorrow is Sunday anyway and we go to the seaside, everyone lined up on the motorway”.
In the video of the song, images specially shot for the occasion are edited together with archive ones of the Former Gkn factory collective of Campi Bisenzio, which has become a symbol and model of the fight for workers' rights (in July 2021 the GKN automotive industry fired 422 factory employees via email and since then – amidst disputes, struggles and individual sacrifices – the workers of the former GKN have promoted an ecological conversion project for a socially integrated factory).
Supporting the Tuscan Collective, Bandabardò and Cisco urge not to give up, to never let go.
In Sunday they also joined them Extra smooth, musical project which ranges from tradition to electronic music with Mirco Mariani on guitar and Mauro Ferrara on vocals.
The departure of the last tour together – 'Last tango' – and the publication of the two unpublished works they are the final chapter of the project that started in 2022 with the release of the album “It's not scary” who saw the streets of Bandabardò And Cisco come back to cross paths as has already happened in the past.
Starting from May 1st, the two singles contained in the reissue of the album will also be available on digital stores.
