Chiara Fumai: 'Chiara Fumai presents Nico Fumai'
In times of re-discovery of the great Italo Disco phenomenon of the 80s, whose musical innovations were often performed through the use of lip-synched fake singers, Chiara Fumai traces its historical roots. Starting from the Italian song-writing tradition, she introduces the audience to the musical career of the legendary Southern Italian singer and composer Nico Fumai (father of the artist). Through examples of his music she presents her point of view on the genealogy of this controversial music phenomenon, focusing her critique on the relation between the artist and the audience in the post-production era, the process of abstraction through personal biography and the lack of attention to the contents by the masses.
