In one of the surf music sound of the sea, the rhythm of the heart that beats and that cry, that shiver through your soul when you see a glimmer of freedom. The art of Sandro Sottile is timeless, it winds up notes rhythmically incisive and telling stories, old and new. Thus, according to a precise, addresses topical issues of disarming in a way never trivial, using his way of making music, enthralling yet intimate. We spoke with him just to find out more about his art to tell the notes and, even, to know his point of view of man of the South and proud of it.
Slim, as he began his passion for music?
My passion for music was born since middle school, for the first time when I took up a guitar, or maybe even before! Where I come from a tradition that was beautiful: during the period of Christmas used to be the pipers to cheer throughout the novena, the sound probably dragged me, took me in time to make me fall in love with the music and not because of this music, today I propose with my work and my concerts.
His music is committed to the South and listening to his work can revisit the origins and traditions, there is a particular message he wants to convey?
With my songs singing the South, his music, his poetry, his emotions and the song of a South alternative and also of the legendary and elusive: the robber. In this regard I quote I wrote the songs that describe this South and its history: "There's that South", "Zona Briganti", "On the trail of southerners." The message I want to convey a message of positivity and at the same time a kind of rebellion of the soul of the people of the South This remarkable land is rich in traditions from both the historical point of view that the artistic point of view. Culture was born here, we think of Ancient Greece! Rediscovering and then revisit the origins and traditions of the South is a source of pride for me.

How do you work for one of his songs?
Working on a new track is to express values, feelings, memories of the past; write about a past that belongs to us, but also and above all a present that is lived. When I write about facts, events and personalities that have marked the history of this land, certainly read a lot and I document a lot.

Calabria is a land of departures and arrivals, she sings his origins, but does not ignore his pain, what do you think?
Emigration was and perhaps still is, an incurable social scourge which struck southern Italy after the unification. Historically began with the "southern question," held by the "civilizing" a serious national problem. I think that this tragedy would not have occurred if some New demagogue "or some" fake liberal "of the time had not had the happy idea to occupy and plunder that was not his. As for the so-called "migrant" or "illegal" and most of those people who arrived on our shores in makeshift boats without knowing their fate, what about? Let's look a little 'back, we do not demagoguery, try to imagine that those children, women, men are our sons, our mothers, our brothers, whether whites or blacks.

Often young people do not see any opportunity in this land so while loving her and feeling a strong sense of belonging to finish it to despise. Is there anything you would like to say to them?
In my concerts, hear and feel much warmth, affection and passion on the part of many young people to my music and then safely to this land of beauty and cursed. I do not think there is contempt, but a lot of anger towards those who, over time, was suffocated with a devastating political patronage and the many opportunities that presented themselves, and unfortunately it seems that time is not finished yet! To the youth I mean, no reason for the presumption, that one and only talent is not enough without culture, and that ignorance and dishonesty does not lead anywhere ... The key is this.

His new tour is called "On the trail of southerners," is a provocation?
"On the trail of southerners," certainly wants to be a provocation, but also a kind of historical review of the Unification of Italy. Let's watch us from the people of the south of us bandits, one of us southerners, we tell what was never said they 'wrote the history books, then I can not celebrate Unit realizzatasi only on paper. The South was conquered by force by the Piedmontese, March 17 we can and must only remember the massacre of our people. With regard to federalism, "which will be a fiscal federalism" speech would be too long. Ben is the secession of the northern regions and welcome the 'free Padania', certainly does not feel the lack.
