Funambola
Encyclopedia
Funambola is an album of the Italian
singer Patrizia Laquidara
, released in 2007 by Ponderosa Music&Art.
It includes 13 songs and it is inspired by the French
tightrope walker Philippe Petit
, who walked on a steel wire between the Twin Towers
of New York
.
Tightrope walking has this time both a physical and an intimate meaning, as a never ending research of a mental equilibrium, perhaps lasting, when found, only the space of a morning.
Intimate thought and introspecion are actually the main themes of Patrizia Laquidara
's songs and this is shown very well by this album, thanks to the perfect symbiosis of texts and melodies.
