There are signs that time erases and others that continue to speak , crossing generations and becoming memory. Sinnos , the traces that a land, a language, and its people leave along the way, are the origin of Daniele Gala's new album , a concept entirely written and sung in Logudorese Sardinian, in which music, identity, and freedom intertwine in a journey that looks to the roots without abandoning the present. The official presentation is scheduled for this evening, October 16, at Sa Casara, home of Time in Jazz in Berchidda. The event, promoted by INSULAE LAB, will feature actor and director Giovanni Carroni, singer-songwriter Solosophia, and maestro Gabriele Barria, director of the Associazione Sardegna Lirica, with the Sos Balaros Choir of Monti. For Gala, "Sinnos " represents a new stage in an artistic journey rooted in the language and culture of Sardinia, but also opens up to a broader reflection on humanity and contemporary society. “Considering my entire life as a singer-songwriter, starting with Carrera, I felt the desire to seek this identity in the limba, the sinnos, and the footsteps, first and foremost those of Francesco Pilu,” he says.
Language thus becomes a tool for awareness, a way to preserve cultural heritage without turning it into something immobile. This vision finds its inspiration in the show "Sos Sinnos" by the Bocheteatro company, an experience that helped guide the musical project and whose connection will be explored in Berchidda, also through Carroni's presence.
"We live in a world increasingly slumbered by stimuli alien to the true nature of being human: that of being moved, listening, empathetic, and aware of the great blessing we have—freedom," explains the singer-songwriter. Freedom is the thread that runs through the album, along with memory and the need to recognize ourselves in a shared history. A little gem, "Che fozza in su 'entu" pays homage to Francesco Pilu, the Sardinian artist who passed away prematurely in 2022. The reinterpretation also stems from a friendship with Marino De Rosas, who inspired and supported the project. It is further enhanced by the contribution of Paolo Fresu, who accepted Gala's invitation by introducing the song with a trumpet's breath, suspended and luminous, a sonic image of Pilu's presence and the legacy of his artistic research.
