IF # 40 - Canzoni contro la paura/Songs against fear # 3

Italian Frequency celebrates its 40th show! Songs against fear/Canzoni contro la paura # 3. These are songs Italy has been singing from balconies during this dramatic weeks of Covid-19 outbreak. I asked Italian expats and Italian people in Italy to curate the show with me through social media, by sharing the songs that the country has been singing out loud, along with the songs that bring comfort or that can be interpreted with a new meaning. 

Today's show also presents a couple of Italian songs perfomed by international artists in solidarity with Italy, such as Gilberto Gil and Angel Olsen. And a set inspired by Easter time and any form of rebirth. 

I recorded this show at home on April 10th with my audiorecorder. The sound quality is not the best, but my heart is all there!

Please, contribute to the show with your Italian song. Write to italianfrequencyradio@gmail.com or visit the Facebook page: www.facebook.com/italianfrequencypodcast/
