COLLECTIONS Obama Faces Pressure To Redefi ne Trade Policy By KRISTI ELLIS WASHINGTON — The global trade playbook needs to be rewritten for it to be dynamic again. The U.S. is entering a new era for global trade that is not always embraced — even by pro-trade advo- cates — and will force President Obama and future leaders to engage more directly and build a stronger bipartisan consensus to move the agenda forward, ac- cording to experts in the fi eld. Obama’s trade agenda has stalled in the fi rst half of the year against the backdrop of looming midterm elections in November, thorny issues in trade nego- tiations and some opposition from members in his own Democratic party. Then there is the continued onslaught of global crises, the most recent of which — tensions with Russia over Crimea and Ukraine — could result in trade sanctions and Russia could choose to retaliate with its own trade sanctions against U.S. and European Union exports. Whatever happens with Russia, experts do expect action over trade deals to ramp up after the elections. “I don’t remember a time in my career in and out of government ever since I worked for [then-President] Ronald Reagan back in the early Eighties where trade has been seen as an issue as indifferent as it seems to be today,” said Jon Huntsman Jr., chairman of the Atlantic Council think tank in an address before the American Apparel & Footwear Association, “where people in my party — the Republican Party — which PHOTO BY YUKIE MIYAZAKI used to see trade as a bulwark for economic growth SEE PAGE 6 2 WWD TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 2014 WWD.COM Carra Named Agnona CEO THE BRIEFING BOX and said the company is “implementing the collec- IN TODAY’S WWD By LUISA ZARGANI tion’s structure by introducing categories that were not familiar to the heritage of the brand until the MILAN — Agnona has tapped Alessandra Carra as arrival of Stefano Pilati.” chief executive officer.

  • La Famiglia Canterina
    Anita Camarella & Davide Facchini Duo la famiglia canterina Honored with the "LadyLake Indie Music Awards" Best Album 2013 U.S.A. Anita Camarella and Davide Facchini new album “La famiglia canterina” collects some of the greatest hits from the repertoire of Swing Italian. Draw a line of continuity in their music- historical research of early modern Italian music and is thought of as a natural evolution of their first recording, “Quei motivetti che ci piaccion tanto” (2002). This CD is full of swing, songs, quotes, curiosities, guitars, special guests. Each arrangement draws liberally from the many experiences, expertise and varied musical influences of the two artists. Just within this CD has been possible to gather after 60 years, two Italian guitarists as legendary who have experienced first hand this music: Franco Cerri (1926), a famous jazz guitarist and Raf Montrasio (1929), legendary guitarist of the legendary Renato Carosone sextet in the 50s, by which Anita Camarella and Davide Facchini have been collaborating for several years. “La famiglia canterina” (1941) is a song that carries with it many stories... It’s a tribute to the radio, whose first broadcasts reached Italy in 1924; its lyrics mention some of the most famous Italian singers, musicians and orchestras from the '30s and '40s - among them Ernesto Bonino and the Trio Lescano, original performers of this song - and hint at other songs of that era. All this is told through the story of a singing family in which the mother, father and their little daughter are racing to sing their favorite songs. For over 10 years Anita Camarella and Davide Facchini carry and tell around the world this wonderful music, a ‘fresco’ of Italian history that fascinates all generations, thanks to a show devoted to this repertoire, its performers and musicians.

  • Ernesto Bonino Nel 94° Anniversario Della Nascita
    Archivio del sito http://www.trio-lescano.it/ Omaggio a Ernesto Bonino nel 94° anniversario della nascita 16 Gennaio 2016 Contributi inseriti in ordine di arrivo 2 Paolo Piccardo Bonino nacque nel posto sbagliato. Mi sento di fare questa affermazione perché è evidente che un cantante con il suo stile che nasce in Italia nel 1922 non può fare a meno di trovarsi una carriera – potenzialmente a livello di un Sinatra – irrimediabilmente sbarrata da un regime nemico dell’innovazione in genere, e di quella musicale in particolare. Durante il fascismo, comincia a maturare la “canzone all’italiana”, carat-terizzata da un’esecuzione e una struttura formale a metà strada fra la “romanza” e la “ballata” di tradizione folklorica. Tale stile influenzerà a lungo la nostra tradizione canora e i suoi divi: da Oscar Carboni a Claudio Villa, da Giorgio Consolini a Luciano Tajoli, fino ai più recenti Al Bano e Andrea Bocelli. Ciò che prevale, nel suddetto genere musicale, è un sentimentalismo melodrammatico, tipico della canzone italo-napoletana di fine Ottocento e primo Novecento, le cui origini risalgono alle feste di Piedigrotta. La grande fortuna che tale canzone conosce «durante il Ventennio fascista si deve al fatto che, pur in assenza di un genere specifico del regime, esso tende a promuovere quelle opere che esaltano i buoni sentimenti e la laboriosità degli italiani. Si pensi al successo di canzoni strappalacrime come Mamma di Bixio-Cherubini o Balocchi e profumi di E. A. Mario, portata al successo da Luciano Tajoli» (dal saggio di Roberto Leombroni Gli anni del fascismo e della radio , 2011).

Parallelamente, un po’ per vocazione e un po’ per necessità, iniziò a cantare nei locali della sua città. Nel 1940 si arruolò volontario nei Battaglioni G.I.L., partecipando alla Marcia della Giovinezza e dilettandosi ad esibirsi negli spettacoli allestiti per le Forze Armate. Le cronache dell’epoca riportarono che era eccelso sia nel canto che nelle imitazioni di Totò, dei De Rege e di Caterinetta Lescano. Fu durante una di queste rappresentazioni, allestita per l’occasione al Carignano di Torino in favore delle famiglie dei richiamati, che venne notato dal M° Carlo Alberto Prato. Dopo avergli impartito alcune lezioni di canto, il grande talent scout torinese gli fece fare un’audizione e lo spinse poi a debuttare, il 5 gennaio 1941, durante un Concerto Cora dove, accompagnato dall’orchestra Semprini, intonò Tango argentino . Passato nella formazione di Pippo Barzizza e successivamente in quella di Carlo Zeme, in breve tempo divenne uno degli interpreti più apprezzati ed amati dal grande pubblico, cogliendo una serie di successi con motivi come Se fossi milionario (1941), La Paloma (1941, con il Duo Fiorenza), Macariolita (1941), La famiglia canterina (1941, con il Trio Lescano), Vieni sul mar (1941, assieme a Lina Termini), Non passa più (1942), A zonzo (1942), Violette nei capelli (1942, con Dea Garbaccio), Maria Gilberta (1942), Musica maestro (1942), Genovesina (1942, accompagnato dal Trio Aurora) e Il giovanotto matto (1943, prima composizione di un giovanissimo Lelio Luttazzi).

  • Le Canzoni a Milano Tra Il 1918 E Il 1950
    Carlo Albertario Le canzoni a Milano tra il 1918 e il 1950 Quaderni della Antica Credenza di sant’Ambrogio Milano La canzone identifica una composizione breve e rappresenta un genere musicale che affonda le sue origini nella notte dei tempi. Il risvegliarsi dei nazionalismi risorgimentali ha sulla musica popolare l'ansia di riappropriarsi di valori culturali specifici. Si tende ad attribuire il termine canzone anche al repertorio "leggero". Nasce così la canzonetta. Con i primi anni del XXº Secolo le spinte vitali che avevano vivacizzato il teatro dialettale si affievoliscono con la scomparsa di Edoardo Ferravilla (Milano, 1946 - 1916). La canzone popolare sopravvive vivida ed espressiva grazie alla popolazione che ha ben poco a disposizione per divertirsi. Per comprendere la vita dei milanesi nel periodo che andiamo a considerare attraverso le canzoni non tratteremo soltanto quelle in dialetto, ma anche altre canzoni che i milanesi cantavano facendo propri i successi del repertorio nazionale. Anche nei periodi difficili la canzonetta (soprattutto quella con testi dal contenuto talvolta frivolo) è servita a lenire disagi e a far affrontare con il cuore meno pesante le difficoltà quotidiane dei milanesi (e non solo). Quanto esposto nel seguito non è una trattazione esaustiva, ma vengono considerati quei "pezzi" che maggiormente hanno accompagnato la vita dei nostri concittadini di allora. Lasciamo al lettore il piacere di ampliare o integrare questo lavoro. La canzone e il primo dopoguerra Anche se il periodo considerato inizia dalla conclusione della Prima Guerra Mondiale, va ricordata una canzone dialettale "La moglie di Cecco Beppe" che, nata durante la guerra, è diventata popolare anche dopo.

  • Ernesto Bonino
    IL DISCOBOLO Museo Virtuale del Disco Ernesto Bonino Ernesto Pietro Bonino nasce a Torino, al numero 34 di Via Po, il 16 gennaio 1922. Ultimo di cinque figli (tre fratelli e due sorelle), resta orfano del padre a soli 8 giorni dalla nascita. Sua madre Teresa Caldini, che possiede una bancarella di frutta al mercato, fa di tutto per ottenere le risorse necessarie per mantenere i suoi figli garantendo loro un tenore di vita dignitoso. Riesce quindi ad espandere la sua attività fino a possedere un suo negozio di frutta e verdura. Ernesto vive un’infanzia abbastanza felice e spensierata: a cinque o sei anni, nel cortile della sua abitazione, già gioca con il battipanni fingendo di suonare la chitarra canticchiando, attirando così l’attenzione dei passanti increduli. L’avvicinamento alla musica jazz avviene negli anni della scuola media, periodo in cui si reca spesso a casa di un amico giornalista che possiede una vasta collezione di dischi importati dall’America. Ernesto, mentre ascolta i dischi, si diverte a cantarci sopra arrivando col tempo a sviluppare un ottimo orecchio e una buona cultura musicale. Pone così le basi di quel suo particolare stile scat che lo avrebbe reso celebre negli anni a venire. Nel 1940, Ernesto decide di arruolarsi come volontario nell’esercito. Con i Battaglioni G.I.L. (Gioventù Italiana del Littorio), si ritrova casualmente a far parte della propagandistica “Marcia della giovinezza” che vede un’incredibile folla di giovani soldati riversarsi per le strade da Varazze a Vicenza. Del suo stesso plotone fa parte anche Leo Chiosso, ottimo musicista che qualche anno più tardi fonderà il Quintetto vocale Hot e, negli anni ’50, comporrà le più celebri canzoni di Fred Buscaglione.
