Concert review – Jovanotti: between flowers, music and visions, the future is here (info and ladder)

Rinascere, flourish, return to vibrate. Jovanotti went back to the stage and did so with the strength of those who crossed storms and came out of new life.

The first of the twelve concerts of his Milanese residence at the Assago Forum was more than a simple live: it was a collective rite, a hug without words between the artist and his audience, a return to life marked by the rhythm.

Lorenzo appeared absorbed at the beginning, in silence, to observe his people.

A silence that was like a great thank you that Jova wanted to pay to his audience, an intelligent, attentive and conscientious audience as he himself defined him, who waited for him patiently and followed him with affection in all his stop period.

Then, the stage reabsorbed it and Jovanotti rekindled the engine and resumed running, singing and playing for over two hours, this time in a different guise.
Not only the head of the band and the beach of the Jova Beach Party, but a more conscious performer, more measured in the body, without however losing one gram of its pulsating energy.

Palajova is a concert played, lived, thought in detail. The J-Band-so renamed by Lorenzo himself, with a tribute not too veiled to the Springsteen e-stroet band and the formations that accompanied Prince-is the engine of a sound machine calibrated to perfection. Here the music returns to the center, leaving aside the tinsels and restoring the full meaning of the live.

But there is not only music: the scenographic setting is a universe to itself. Above the heads of the spectators, light flowers bloom on the ceiling of the forum, transforming the arena into a psychedelic garden. In the background, a game of images and memes generated by artificial intelligence re -elaborates the concert in real time, projecting faces, gestures and sounds in a hypothetical and surreal future.

Jovanotti is back, and with him the love and the desire to share the party and the sense of community that only a stage knows how to create.

Among flowers, music and visions, the future is here.

Before the show he met us. Here's what he told us.

Your new show seems to have a particular energy. How would you describe it?

It is a supercontern, but more than anything else it is a concept. I have always tried to create shows that represented me when I take them on stage. This time it is something anomalous: I chose a more traditional form, with the band on stage, and this novelty surprised me because it allowed me to have fun even more. Music works in a more organic way, but it is not that I am contrary to other ways of making music.

The use of technology in music is often debated. What do you think of the Auto-Tune?

Auto-10 is like a distorted guitar, it depends on how you use it. Artificial intelligence and technology in general can be creative tools or constraints. In the 1980s, when the sequencers arrived, many thought that they would kill music, and instead they created a new sound that is still fundamental today.

This tour comes after a complicated period for you. Has the accident changed something in your approach to the show?

Actually no. The project of this show and this band was already existed before. The accident changed me, of course, but not the structure of the show. The idea of ​​flowering was already there, I had made designs, sent drafts to my collaborators. Then I found a phrase by Etty Hillesum, who talked about flourishing anyway, and struck me deeply.

Flowers are a strong symbol on this tour. Where does this choice come from?

After a trip to the Amazon I had this vegetable epiphany. Back, I thought the stage should be a large garden. At the beginning I imagined a huge greenhouse, but then the technical realization led to different solutions, with machinery that are transformed from disco light flowers.

Your concert has a very colorful and joyful aesthetic. Is it a conscious choice?

Absolutely. We live difficult times, of polarizations, nervousness and continuous crisis. I felt the need to build an experience that was a party, a preparation for better times. This is why my show is full of colors, cartoon quotes and an energy that wants to be liberating.

In the concert there is a visual with a series of memes and digital communication. How did you conceive it?

Today the dominant language is that of the memes. There are those who say that controlling the memes means controlling the world, and it is not so far from reality.

Does music no longer play a political role?

No, music always has a political role, but not in the sense of deployment. It is a force that creates connections, that offers ideas, which can also make you think about deep issues without having to be a manifesto.

If I had to describe this tour in three words?

Party, flowers, future.
