The music of Lino Cannavacciuolo will be the soundtrack to the commercials of the 30th Summer Universiade taking place in Naples and Campania from July 3rd to the 14th. The song “Abballabbà”, is “a revisited pizzica, which conveys a strong energy and recalls a beat – says Maestro Cannavacciuolo – something that brings people together regardless of the type or the importance of the sport”.
“My first approach to music was with a drum, back when I used to accompany my father, an amateur trumpet player, to his band’s practice sessions. That is when I realized my interest in music was real, and in the end I decided to learn how to play the violin”. This is how Lino Cannavacciuolo summarizes his first steps in the music world leading him to graduate at the San Pietro a Majella Conservatory in Naples, and working over the years with some of the greatest Neapolitan theater and music performers: Peppe Barra, Roberto De Simone, and Pino Daniele.
Cannavacciuolo, who does not consider himself a great sportsman, finds resemblances between playing a sport and playing a musical instrument. “It is either self-discipline, or sacrifice. I think sport is somehow a form of art, a salvation for young people: if you play a sport, then you have, at least, already a healthy reference point. This helps people live their lives better”.
