Description Readers' comments

This contribution is dedicated to Paolo Conte, singer-songwriter and pianist of international success, whose work seems to represent one of the most eloquent programmatic expressions of musica per poesia (“music for poetry”) ever conceived by a composer and performer of songs. Applying musicological and cultural work tools, the analytical trajectory will finally concern Conte’s overall musical-poetic language, whose nature becomes increasingly clear as not just heterogeneous but above all mixed, mestizo, syncretic, or even more accurately, “transcultural”.
