DAVIDE VAN DE SFROOS on November 23rd in concert at the Forum in Assago (Info and Tickets)

DAVIDE VAN DE SFROOS has announced an eagerly awaited live at the FORUM in ASSAGO (MI) for next November 23rd.

The singer-songwriter, winner of the Tenco Prize several times, will take the stage of the Milanese palace for the third time to share an evening of great celebration with his audience.

These last three years have been very intense and important for the singer-songwriter who, constantly inspired and eager to make new music and meet his audience, has recorded 2 unreleased albums, published a live album and toured Italy with his concerts always Sold Out.
Van De Sfroos is currently on tour (all dates are already sold out) with the songs from his latest album “Manoglia”, as well as the hits from his repertoire.

After this last tour, Davide decided to take a moment to breathe, in that nature that is so dear to him, it surrounds him and inspires him and, before finishing the current tour, he wants to say goodbye to everyone with the promise of coming back in a big way with a concert at the FORUM in ASSAGO (MI), a new opportunity to tell his world.

THE CONCERT AT THE ARCIMBOLDI

This evening, February 29th, at the TAM – Teatro Arcimboldi Milan, the largest theater in Italy and second in Europe, is a special event that brings back Van De Sfroos (after the first time in 2016 in which it sold out celebrating the 50 years) in a theater that has become an iconic place of Milanese and Lombard culture, a space in which man and art are deeply and strongly connected and which the singer-songwriter will fill with his songs full of history and stories, authentic snapshots of feeling today of the artist, one of the most unique and well-rounded narrators of stories in music on the Italian artistic scene.

THE DISC

The disc “HANDLE” contains 11 unreleased tracks that have come to life over the years and have remained jealously guarded in a drawer, or in a pocket like amulets, waiting for the time to come to light. Songs that Davide initially wrote for himself and kept in a special cellar, in his notebooks full of natural and emotional notes, as if they were testimony to experiences, thoughts, moments lived, and which now, while maintaining a sacred intimate character and personal, the singer-songwriter has decided to bring them out of the shadows to allow them to flourish, as a sign of rebirth and restart.
This album, with a profound naturalistic and environmental imprint, and which we can imagine written in a meadow, in a large open space, as can also be seen from the title “MANOGLIA” (“magnolia” in laghée dialect), is for Van De Sfroos a great tree from which the 11 leaves sprout which, in autumn, on October 13th precisely, descended towards the listener, already embraced by the roots of this plant that have grown over the years. The seeds planted in Davide’s “artistic and creative greenhouse”, cared for with patience, perseverance and love, gave life to this splendid example of “MANOGLIA” under which the listener will always be able to sit to grasp and appreciate all its colors and smells , allowing itself to be permeated by a sense of magic, thus opening a dialogue with the material that is wood, capable of communicating kindness and warmth in its life and constantly transforming itself, giving away its memory through its knots.

“MANOGLIA”, which Davide ironically defines as an album “full of autumnal hits”, arrives after the successful publication, digitally and in a double vinyl version (in the Top 10 of the FIMI/GfK ranking of the best-selling vinyls in Italy), of the album “ DAVIDE VAN DE SFROOS – LIVE 2022” and it is a record in which, although in a new guise, we find the typical folk of Van De Sfroos whose usual power, remaining preponderant, leaves here greater space and fertile ground for nuances, chiaroscuro, sounds and acoustic instruments, to their softness. An intimate, refined album that draws from different cultures and musical genres, with a vaguely psychedelic bent, in reference to the acoustic psychedelia of the late ’60s – early ’70s. Being a very personal album, which delves into the life of Van De Sfroos, “MANOGLIA” preserves all the human and musical facets of the singer-songwriter, accompanied, on a completely acoustic rhythm, sometimes by the piano, other times by a banjo or manouche guitars, electroacoustic or played with a “slide” technique, by a double bass and typical Asian and African instruments.
