After appearing on the prestigious stage of the Sanremo Music Festival, Cugini di Campagna have chosen Sardinia for the next stage of their artistic journey. This time, their destination is Gesico, a small town in the upper Trexenta area, preparing to host one of the most anticipated events of the spring. The news, which has been circulating through the town's alleys for the past few days, has been officially confirmed with the band's publication of their poster.
An icon of '70s pop music and a recent star on the Ariston stage, the group will be the guests of a special evening organized by the Comitato Donne Santa Giusta e Sant'Isidoro (Donne Santa Giusta and Sant'Isidoro Committee) during the celebrations dedicated to their patron saint. "We want to bring a piece of great international entertainment where it usually doesn't reach. A thin thread ties us to the band, made of tradition, community, and folk music," explains Alessandra Pardu, president of the committee.
Accustomed to large television audiences and the spotlight, Cugini di Campagna will bring their unmistakable style to Gesico: stage costumes and a repertoire spanning generations, with songs that have become part of the collective memory. The initiative also represents a challenge: transforming the square of a village of just over 700 inhabitants into a stage capable of attracting an audience and attention far beyond the local borders. From Sanremo to Gesico, then, the step can be short when music acts as a bridge. The event is scheduled for May 16th, amidst music, tradition, and an atmosphere that promises to combine spectacle and identity on a day of celebration.
