La Storia non è solo quella che si studia sui libri di scuola. E’ storia tutto ciò che ha contribuito al nostro sviluppo sociologico e che ha segnato gli eventi culturali. Ogni contesto storico è stato accompagnato dalla musica, colonna sonora che ha “battuto il tempo” e raccontato in modo indelebile la storia, fissandola a colpi di note nella nostra memoria. Nasce così la rubrica “33 giri di ricordi”, la musica che ha fatto la storia. Proseguono gli appuntamenti con i 33 giri di ricordi, quelli che hanno segnato un’epoca: oggi parliamo del capolavoro assoluto dei Supertramp, “Breakfast in America”. 1979 Iran: dopo mesi di proteste popolari, lo Shāh Mohammad Reza Pahlavi lascia il paese.

  • Hity SUPERTRAMP Zazní 27
    2 MIX NEW | duben 2018 Hity SUPERTRAMP zazní 27. dubna v brněnském Sono centru Logicaltramp jako následný derivát Supertramp poprvé v Brně Skupina Supertramp vznikla již koncem šedesátých let na britské hudební scéně. Třebaže jejich první album vyšlo už v roce 1970, na respekt hudebních kritiků si musela kapela nějaký ten rok počkat. Tehdy je zastínily jiné progresivní kapely jako Pink Floyd, The Who, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath – převážně tvrdší hudba. Jejich stylové směřování se dalo označit jako blue-eyed-soul. V českém prostředí by se jejich hudba nazývala bílý soul. Sestava Supertramp prošla personálními pro- měnami až se ustálila v sestavě Roger Hodgson (kytara, klavír, elektrické piano, zpěv) Rick Davies (elektrické piano, klavír, varhany, fou- kací harmonika, zpěv), John ní.
