The European connotation of mailing list about
Angelo Branduardi has been evident since the first day, 14th june
1999, date in which it was founded thanks to the idea of a cherisher
of Branduardi, living in the south Italy, in Meta di Sorrento,
with another German cherisher, ( webmistress of one of the most
complete site of Branduardi), and under the good auspices of an
"hyperactive" Dutch fan, this time. The List BRANDUARDI-ANS
today represents almost an unique case in the immense view of Italian
music: every artist by now has a proper mailing list, but this one
dedicated to Branduardi is the only one to having therefore a great
representation of European Countries: Beyond Italy, naturally, they
are members from Germany,France, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland,
Slovenia, Austria, USA, Canada, Australia, Russia, England and more...
The cosmopolitan character of the list reflect, obviously, the
music of Branduardi: There is joy, irony, it is discussed about
everything, unless politics, that is the only "taboo" argument,
and above all more and more friendships are created, that goes
beyond the monitor, friendships materialized in the several meetings
in occasion of a concert or a convivial. In 5 years of life, this
mailing list collects more than 170 members and about 15.300 messages
are written! Another merit has been that one to have united the
several "branduardian supporters" scattered in all over
Europe, it's not a case there are registered practically all the
webmasters of the branduardian sites (that they are nearly all
women! ), there is no more a separation between the Italian and
the German or French fan, and the term of "European community" assumes
in this mailing list the noblest meaning. It is important to notice
as the pacific atmosphere of the Branduardi-ans is harmonized to
the thematic dealt by Angelo Branduardi, the fable acclimatization
of his songs and the happy peculiarity of a not politicized songwriter
has surely favorite such an atmosphere, without being superficial
for this, indeed, but often burning arguments are faced and the
debate, also is ignited,maintains the tone of a comparison very
circumscribed in a constructive and civilian dialectic going over
the language differences."
