In activity for over 40 years, continuously changing expressive forms and contexts, he has managed to keep the quality of his work a constant. The Sicilian artist more of an exception than a rule in the national musical panorama. An experimenter, then a pop icon, a singer-songwriter sui generis and a refined intellectual, and also a film director and television author. Heterogeneous ramifications of a restless talent, which despite its fugacity still manages to achieve mass success. Just as can be seen in his last release, Il vuoto: which got to the top of the national hit parade in February. To translate his suggestiveness live there will be the same group that helped make the album: the inseparable Manlio Sgalambro, Carlo Guaitoli and Angelo Privitera together with Quartetto Italiano, and also the Paduan debutants FSC and the young Sardinian that have moved to London MAB. Generations in confrontation: almost a reflection of the anagraphic complexity of Battiato's audience.
