A comparison of singing and Rap in a singular scenario that is Bitti, universally known as the homeland of singing a tenor which houses the first museum dedicated to it, at the center of studies by the ethnomusicologists of the University of Cagliari Ignazio Macchiarella and Marco Lutzu who, in collaboration with other scholars of this extraordinary musical heritage, follow the paths of comparison between other very distant realities, such as Rap precisely, poetic-singing expression of the New York suburbs of the 70s.
"A project where we still have a lot to do - declares Mario Sanna - which will certainly lead us to know numerous meeting and sharing points between an ancient song and a modern one born in the new world". «Music, singing and the harmony between these forms of expression are tools that make communities more alive and free to share the dark moments and the happy ones of our existence, whether it is done in a district of Bitti or rhythm in the basement of a Queens building in New York» concludes the voice of the tenor Vitzichesu.
