interview
Vallanzaska
25 years
on the ska way
T
wenty-five years: Vallanzaska are celebrating a quarter of a century in business. The event is celebrated with a
proper tour already started, and it will continue with various initiatives. We have joined
the choir to celebrate the band from Milan
and we interviewed Davide Romagnoni,
“Dava”, the singer, who was already there at
the time of the first concert, 25 years ago.
You are not a particularly “institutional”
band, rather the reverse, however, the 25th
anniversary for a band is important. What
do you remember the beginning and the February 14, 1991, the official start date of the
band’s history?
That is the date of our first concert, we played
8
a private party in Milan, at the occupied community center Serra, we did cover of Madness
and the Specials and the same week we also
did our second gig... And so that started the
our great and beautiful adventure.
What do you remember of those days?
There have been many things, but you could
not say anything in particular. I can say that
in 25 years of existence we have seen a bit
of everything and we had the greatest satisfaction when we began to see the audience
singing our songs, today may be normal, but
then it was a great source of pride.
The perception of having the fans is very satisfactory, it gives you the idea that he had chosen the right path.
