Episode 17: The Secret Language
from 78644 Hosted by Troubadour Image + Sound
In 1972, Italian artist Adriano Celentano released a song that sounded like English spoken with an American accent to Italian listeners. Despite the nonsensical lyrics, the song reached number 2 on the charts. Celentano aimed to explore communication barriers rather than create a humorous novelty song. This concept is intriguing because music can convey universal emotions even before the lyrics acquire meaning for the listener. Visual art also shares this ability to evoke feelings without relying on explicit themes. Join us as we interview songwriters Fletcher Clark, Ryan Quiet, and Jacob Furr, as well as an exhibition at the new Lockhart Post Gallery called "Heck Yeah" by artist Beast Syndicate. Plus, stay tuned for events happening in 78644 from June 2-16. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/78644/exclusive-content
