DLF-Nachtradio: LiederLaden: Beppe Gambetta
– ein Meister italienischer Saiten- und Liedtradition
Pressetext:
Der italienische Sänger und Gitarrist Beppe Gambetta ist kein Cantautore im engeren Sinne, auch sind eigene Texte auf Plattenproduktionen eher die Ausnahme. Doch ist Gambetta ein Meister in der Neubearbeitung von altem Liedgut. Dazu gehören Aus- wandererlieder und Serenaden seiner Heimatstadt Genua wie auch Coverversionen seines großen Cantautorekollegen Fabrizio de André. Mit der CD „Collection“ hat Beppe Gambetta gerade eine Sammlung veröffentlicht, die beispielhaft für sein Kulturverständ- nis steht und das seiner Meinung nach im heutigen Italien schon etwas Subversives zu haben scheint. „Wenn die ganze restliche Musik von der Unkultur der TV-Diktatur Berlusconis durchdrungen ist, scheint es schon revolutionär zu sein, weiterhin Tänze, Serenaden und Schlaflieder zu schreiben“, so Gambetta im Gespräch zu dieser Ausgabe des LiederLadens.

MORE "RENDEZ-VOUS" REVIEWS IN THE WORLD ...Though he's shown over the years that he can keep pace with the Tony Rices and Dan Crarys of the world, it is Gambetta's understated elegance as a flatpicker that has set him apart and made him an in-demand partner the world over, and he's as elegant as ever on Rendez-vous.

BEPPE GAMBETTA @ MAURIZIO COSTANZO SHOW ..
With Rendez-vous I'm trying to break the borders of the flatpicking technique in a creative way, experimenting new "full sounding" solutions to obtain a sort of a "plectrum-fingerstyle" sound in an unusual synthesis I have the pleasure to present to the listeners artists that come from completely different artistic worlds in a really stimulating combination: from the singer songwriting avant-garde of Patty Larkin and Darrell Scott to the Italian wave of the Sixties of Francesco Guccini, from the newgrass mastery of Missy Raines and Jim Hurst to the early-music tenor voice of Marco Beasley; from the button accordion of my son Filippo Gambetta to the guitar of the Brasilian maestro Marco Pereira and the old-time fiddle of Bruce Molsky; from the progressive European style of French mandolinist Patrick Vaillant to the ethno-urban percussions of Marco Fadda and the jazzy bass of Riccardo Barbera.
