Maria Antonietta and Colombre sing a political piece disguised as a pop song in Sanremo: “Happiness and that's it”.
The two artists, also a couple in life, tell us how they arrived in Sanremo, how they manage to share public and private life. And of the happiness that they tell us is true precisely because it is shared not only among themselves but with the community in general.
THE INTERVIEW
Convey the happiness of doing this together. What is the secret to dividing public and working life from private life?
Colombre: “We always try not to do too much fiction. We have two different careers, yes, but we have a project together, which is our album. And we also do this stage of our journey together. And so somehow for us there isn't a distinction between public life and private life.”
You are not known by the general public and for you Sanremo is like a showcase. How necessary was it for there to be new features in this edition?
Marie Antoinette: “Complexity and variety are richness. And when everything becomes homogeneous, richness is lost. So I'm happy that there is so much diversity among us.”
You are two complex personalities. How is your complexity intrinsic to your way of making music or doing other things besides music? For example, Marie Antoinette wrote a book and presented some programs with a focus on art.
Marie Antoinette: “When you can do so many things it's as if you have a continent to explore. I find it fun to go from one thing to another. It's a question of curiosity.”
On stage use the omnicord. What does this tool give you and what use have you found for it?
Maria Antonietta: “It's a little tuner, and if I have to be honest I got to know it thanks to Colombre. Since I discovered it I've also used it to set poetry readings to music. It definitely helps you have a fun space but for us it's also a sentimental bond and that's why we wanted to bring it here to Sanremo”
This is a political piece and I don't know how long this thing has passed. Can you confirm it for us?
“Yes, because the right to happiness is something we must aspire to and it is a political song even if it is disguised as a pop song. We are alive and why should we deprive ourselves of it?”
