MAGGIORE & PAGLIARA live

"Secca d’acqua" is the new music production by singer-songwriter Vincenzo Maggiore and musician Giancarlo Pagliara.

A minimal album, piano and voice, that shines a light on the "Brindisi that no longer exists," drawing inspiration from the poetic work of Francesco Romanelli, one of the last master shipbuilders of the city.

Like a brief and intense "sound journey" aboard a schiafarieddu (a typical local fishing boat), conducted through a slow and silent rowing, the work tries to convey some of that romantic imagery characteristic of the ancient Quartiere Sciabiche.

The highlight of the album is the track created through the project "La città che non c’è," sponsored by Eridano Social Cooperative of Brindisi and the Urban Lab Movements. It is dedicated to a group of young students from the province, with contributions from primary school teacher and singer-songwriter Paola Petrosillo, musician Giancarlo Pagliara, Master shipbuilder and president of Vogatori Remuri, Francesco Romanelli, and singer-songwriter Vincenzo Maggiore.

It's a powerful cultural effort to strengthen the connection of the younger generation with their homeland, stimulate creativity and relational spirit, in line with the objectives pursued by the Eridano Social Cooperative.

The album features remarkable contributions from musicians like Giorgio Distante (tuba), Stefano Rielli (double bass), Vito de Lorenzi (percussion), Valerio Daniele (guitars), and Isabella Benone (violin), enriching the songs within. Among them, there is also a bonus track, a cover of the historic Brindisi song "Va cantu pi te," written by Giovanni Guarino and Alfredo Vitale, reinterpreted with great sensitivity by the duo and appreciated by Guarino's family.

Secca d’acqua was produced by Eridano Social Cooperative, Vincenzo Maggiore, and Giancarlo Pagliara. The artistic production is by Vincenzo Maggiore, Giancarlo Pagliara, and Paola Petrosillo.
