Feeling. Pino Daniele

Creations, journeys, silences, and grooves: the artistic symbiosis of an unforgettable singer-songwriter, musician, and poet. Starting with twelve songs, Gianni Valentino assembles a rigorous and uncompromising jukebox that symbolically encapsulates Pino Daniele’s entire recorded legacy - a sort of magical calendar, unfolding month by month and page by page through music videos, local chronicles, linguistic codes, cross-genre collaborations, taboos, cinema, and "swear words." His unique modes of expression are explored and discussed with the help of musicians, singers, and performers who worked closely with him over the years; they engage in candid conversations that shed new light on his art, revealing the essence of the man - the composer, songwriter, producer, and onstage musician. By illuminating his work with previously untold behind-the-scenes stories, this book serves as a transparent vessel for navigating the vast ocean of an artist who - even after his passing - has never ceased to captivate, move, thrill, and fascinate his audience, from the most loyal longtime fans to the youngest listeners.
