FABRIZIO DE ANDRÉ the project “WAY POINT. WHERE DO YOU COME FROM... WHERE ARE YOU GOING?”

Fabrizio De André comes out with the project “WAY POINT. WHERE DO YOU COME FROM… WHERE ARE YOU GOING?”. To retrace 25 years of the beloved singer-songwriter (who passed away on 11 January 1999) through his WORDS, his THOUGHT, his VISION and his “JOURNS” still present and relevant today.

“WAY POINT. WHERE DO YOU COME FROM… WHERE ARE YOU GOING?” develops throughout 2024 with various initiatives, including the complete navigation of Fabrizio De André’s discography which involves the re-release of all his studio records in chronological order during the year.

THE REPRINTS

From Friday 16 February the reprint of Fabrizio De André’s first 4 albums will be available: “Volume 1”, “Tutti morimmo a stento”, “Volume 3” and “La Buona Novella”.

“Volume 1”, released in 1967, is Fabrizio De André’s first studio album. It contains songs such as “Via del Campo” and “Bocca di rosa”, accompanied in the new booklet by autographed lyrics and comments by Faber regarding the songs. “Tutti morimmo a stento” from 1968 represents the artist’s first concept album, whose reflections in the booklet take us back to the genesis of the work, accompanying us song by song. “Volume 3″, published for the first time in 1968, also contains new versions of songs previously published by the Karim record label, including “La canzone di Marinella”. Among the pages that make up the new booklet there are some autographed working notes, relating to the birth of “La ballata dell’eroe” and some comments on the songs also taken from the autographed notes, as in the case of “Piero’s war”. Finally, “La Buona Novella” from 1970, inspired by the apocryphal gospels, presents comments and autographs, including unpublished notes, with which to retrace the birth of the album and the contents developed by De André in the work.
