(January 9, 2017) Sixteen songs written by the main Sardinian artists of world music and singer-songwriting, along with some prestigious international colleagues. United to spread the project, unique in the world, of the non-profit association Earth Child House (www.earthchildhouse.org): the creation of a biosphere in Sardinia home for children with cancer. The structure has already been designed on paper, in collaboration with the Politecnico of Milan, and now the association E.C.H. is seeking the necessary funds and land where to build it. The record “Echo”, presented on December 21 in Sassari and available through shipping in Italy and abroad (info@earthchildhouse.org or tronosdigital@gmail.com), sends via music the message that some stages of the disease, especially when they concern children, can be experienced in a natural environment, away from the hospital ward, without giving up playing and being contact with nature. A concept stressed by the beautiful Tazenda song “Madre Terra” at the beginning of the record. Title track of the eponymous 2008 album, it is one of the most famous songs of the ethno-rock group founded in the late eighties by Andrea Parodi, Gino Marielli and Gigi Camedda. In the record in support of Earth Child House Tazenda propose a choral version of the song, opening with the verses of the poet Kahlil Gibran and interpreted together with all the artists who, with them, have made “Echo”: Elena Ledda, Claudia Crabuzza, Nasodoble, Chichimeca, Elva Lutza, Piero Marras, Rossella Faa, Carlo Doneddu, Dr Boost, Cordas et Cannas, and international guests Acquaviva – Already Agricantus, Marie Hines, Clark Datchler, Lilian Vieira, Ester Formosa, Adolfo Osta. The House of Children of the Earth, thanks to the joint efforts of the association Earth Child House and the artists of “Echo”, is attracting great interest. Not only at a national level, where one of the main sponsors is the Sardinian Seria A basketball team Dinamo Banco, but also abroad. Even before the release of the record (distributed by Tronos Digital), in fact, bookings through Musicraiser.com platform came from several nations and they have been many and generous, and requests continue unabated.
