"Nel blu dipinto di blu (volare)"

Possibly the most famous Italian song in the world today, mostly known as “Volare”, this song sings the liberation of escaping reality through the illusion of a dream. It is also the first Italian word mentioned by our interviewees!

Frase memorabile

“Il colore della mia pelle è la mia bandiera. Dovunque tu sia, puoi trovare il bene, ma puoi trovare anche il male. Ma io li accetto entrambi.”

"Moj e bukura more"

Sung and played by Luigi Cirillo

This is an homage to the Arbërësh community, Albanian minority in southern Italy, refugees of the Ottoman Empire who fled to the shores of Italy over 500 years ago. This is also how old the song is singing about the beautiful land of Morea, that can still be seen from the other side of the waters.

Memorable sentence

“When I go for a position, I have to look for something that motivates me, and that means making a change, and it relates to equality and human rights. That keeps me going.”

Frase memorabile

“Quando cerco un nuovo lavoro mi oriento su quelli che mi motivano di più, su un lavoro che può fare la differenza, che abbia a che fare con l’eguaglianza e i diritti umani. È quello che mi fa andare avanti.”

Recommendation to Radio VIBERS

Give to as many NI communities as possible the opportunity to speak; promote services provided by community-based organisations.

Consiglio per i Radio VIBERS

Originally composed in 1972, “Almeno tu” is one of the most famous songs of Mia Martini, an Italian singer-songwriter who fought all her life against prejudice. We’ve chosen this song to honour those who face gender prejudice and inequality today.

Memorable sentence

“It’s not until we recognise each other as part of the same changing force, that we will be creating enough strength to change things”

Frase memorabile

"E quando finalmente ci riconosceremo a vicenda come parti della stessa forza che produce cambiamento, saremo forti abbastanza da far cambiare le cose"

Recommendation to Radio VIBERS

"Misilrou"

Sung and played by Luigi Cirillo

Misilrou is a folk song from Asia Minor, with its origins in the Ottoman Empire. Arabic, Greek and Jewish musicians have been playing it for centuries. The most iconic version is in Greek language, our small gift to the Greek Consul.

Memorable sentence

“We find it very impressive that strangers who have no idea who you are would talk to you, without expecting anything. It wouldn’t happen back in Greece. They would think you’re a weirdo!”

Frase memorabile

“Mi ha colpito molto il fatto che la gente ti rivolga la parola pur non conoscendoti e senza aspettarsi niente da te. Questo non succederebbe mai in Grecia. Penserebbero che sei uno strano!”

Recommendation to Radio VIBERS

Organise a Radio VIBE face-to-face event to boost networking.

Consiglio per i Radio VIBERS

Organizzare un evento Radio VIBE in presenza, per permettere alle persone di incontrarsi.
