Stiamo parlando, alla fine, di eleganza: quell’indefinibile atti- tudine nel muoversi, vestirsi, rapportarsi al mondo, che dà pia- cere allo sguardo e lo intriga, affinando il gusto. Nel caso di Sting, questa capacità innata di conferire eleganza alle canzoni che pe- raltro scrive (“Pure!”, avrebbe detto mia nonna), è tutt’uno con la sua presenza scenica. Ascoltando un suo pezzo, è difficile non immaginarselo all’opera. Non pensare al suo volto scavato, al suo taglio moicano, agli improvvisi sbocchi di humour che ogni tanto gli scappano (in una strizzata d’occhi, una smorfia, una ri- sata che non riesce a contenere), quasi che a un tratto, nel bel mez- zo di un’esecuzione, la sua attenzione si concentrasse su un det- taglio che gli appare piacevolmente ridicolo, e condivisibile con Da qualche anno a questa parte, quando Sting prende la chitarra e il pubblico.

  • FIAT-Sting + Shaggy
    Contact: Diane Morgan Alyse Nagode Fiat 124 Spider Abarth Takes Starring Role Alongside Sting & Shaggy in “Gotta Get Back My Baby” Music Video November 9, 2018, Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Fiat 124 Spider Abarth takes a starring role alongside Sting & Shaggy in the official music video for their new track “Gotta Get Back My Baby,” the latest single, co-produced by Teflon (Wyclef Jean, Fat Joe, Ruff Ryders) and Martin Kierszenbaum (Sting, Mylène Farmer, Lady Gaga), off their album "44/876," which has spent 17 weeks atop the Billboard Reggae chart. The official YouTube music video, which amassed over 2.3 million views in just a few days, was filmed in the vein of ‘80s and ‘90s buddy cop television series and movies, including “Miami Vice” and “Bad Boys,” and was directed by Michael Garcia. The video pairs Sting and Shaggy as two Miami detectives who convince their captain that they’re “going to need the Spider,” meaning his prized Fiat 124 Spider Abarth, as part of their South Beach stakeout for “the most dangerous woman in the country.” What could go wrong?! The FIAT brand is also supporting the video globally across its digital and social channels, including in the U.S on Instagram,Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. “We continue to strive for the unexpected in our marketing efforts across all FCA brands and, certainly here, the FIAT brand’s fun-spirited personality gives us the opportunity to be just a little bit more adventurous and playful in our approach with our music partners," said Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of the FIAT Brand, FCA.

  • Songs of Exile: Music, Activism, and Solidarity in the Latin American Diaspora
    JOMEC Journal Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies Published by Cardiff University Press Songs of Exile: Music, Activism, and Solidarity in the Latin American Diaspora Claudia Bucciferro Gonzaga University Email: [email protected] Keywords Music Latin America Activism Exile Diasporic communities Abstract This article addresses the long-standing connection between music and social activism in Latin America, centering on a discussion of ‘the music of exile’ as a cultural artifact of historical and conceptual significance for diasporic Latin American communities. The music produced by artists who were persecuted during the years of military rule was characterized by an engagement with social and political affairs, and often helped bring people together in the struggle for democratization. Despite censorship laws and other repressive measures enacted by the dictatorships, the music not only endured but traveled across nations and continents, carried by the millions of people who were displaced due to State-sponsored violence. Now distributed through new media platforms, such as YouTube, this music functions as a repository of memory and an emblem of solidarity that connects dispersed Latin American communities. Using Cultural Studies as a theoretical framework and employing an interpretive methodology, this study focuses on a selection of songs written between 1963 and 1992, presenting an analysis that centers on their lyrics and connects their meanings to larger social processes. Contributor Note Dr. Claudia Bucciferro is Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at Gonzaga University, in Spokane, Washington.

Since we're constantly adding new music to our library, the most up-to-date listing of available music is on our website, on the Emusic pages, at www.PianoDisc.com. There you can see each indi- vidual disc with complete song listings and artist biographies (when applicable) and also purchase discs online. You can also order by calling 800-566-DISC. For those who are new to PianoDisc, below is a brief explana- tion of the terms you will find in the catalog: PD/CD/OP: There are three PianoDisc software formats: PD represents the 3.5" floppy disk format; CD represents PianoDisc's specially-formatted CDs; OP represents data disks for the Opus system only. MusiConnect: A Windows software utility that allows Opus7 downloadable music to be burned to CD via iTunes. Acoustic: These are piano-only recordings. Live/Orchestrated: These CD recordings feature live accom- paniment by everything from vocals or a single instrument to a full-symphony orchestra.
