Marta. Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Here the translation. Mika in Naples as in Beirut: "Song to the streets to feel the life of the people" A concert in Naples, Plebiscito Square , is a special concert . Mika knows it very well: " Naples is fantastic, but for me it will not be strange to do a concert like that. I am Lebanese , I know what it means the relationship with the public in a place so important to the daily lives of people . When I played in Martyr Square in Beirut it was a special night , because that was the place where everybody goes, a lived square , full of life. I can not wait , it's a wonderful city . " Mika is coming to Naples for a show in a long day organized in Piazza Plebiscito for 50 years of Nutella, on sunday 18 May. "It's a city that I love very much, a city rich in art and culture , full of life and passion, warm and communicative. But I come with great respect, " is keen to point out after the many controversies that have marked the granting of the square for the event, " I feel the responsibility and pride to have an extraordinary opportunity to play in the parlor of the city . I like the idea of bringing my songs in a space so beautiful, in the heart of a city so beautiful." The day's program in Naples is very rich : there will be Almamegretta at 16 , at 17 will be the turn of the talented Simona Molinari, at 18 will come to the sensational jazz rock of James Senese & Napoli Centrale , followed at 19.15 by Arisa, fresh winner of the Sanremo Festival , at 20.15 we will dance on the rhythm of ska, reggae and soul of Giuliano Palma and then the time will be at 21:30 with Mika . "My set, will not be a complete set - is keen to point out - I'll be on the scene just over an hour . But it will be a way to concentrate the best of my music in a short time, maybe even with sparks of something new." Mika is in Paris , working on his new album, another step forward in his successful career , another attempt to put together , as he did in his previous works , pop , fun, quality and art. After the success of last years, working on a new album is also a way to make a sort of budget ? "In part, yes of course , it starts from where we come , you must know how far you've traveled and how. But I'm not working with a particular pressure , I take the time that i need, I work six weeks in the studio, then I go back to writing, and then I focus back on the recordings . What really interests me is music and not success, then I want to be satisfied by the work I do, I want my work reflecting what I am today, without pretense or artifice . " Certainly for an artist like Mika performing live, establish a direct contact with the public, communicate his art physically, is more important than making an album . " This is partly true - he says - because the excitement of the show is incomparable , you have the opportunity to stage all that you are , to interpret the songs with the greatest energy and passion. But also working in the studio is important, and especially the song writing. If it were not so , I would be only an interpreter . " Edited May 16, 2014 by Marta.

eugenio Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Only a quick memo for the ones who are travelling over Napoli: once you arrived in piazza Garibaldi with the bus from Capodichino airport, go to Garibaldi metro line 1, you'll find it outside the station, on the left side of the square. Be careful, go straight to the metro, the square is under construction but it's easy to find the way. Otherwise, just follow the crowd. Two stops and you'll arrive in Toledo, the famous station...you'll understand why. Then, straight on to Piazza Plebiscito. Have a good trip p.s. Just feel free to bring your cameras ect. with you, nobody will try to steal them. Anyway, I'll protect you xD Sorry for my bad english, I'm travelling right now!
