Sting,vocal & archlute (9, 15, 20)

Edin Karamazov, lute & archlute

Simpatico l' aneddoto (ripreso dal Venerdì di Repubblica) su come Sting abbia conosciuto Edin Karamazov
"Incontrai Edin molti anni fa, forse quando ero ancora con i Police.
Si esibiva in un circo in Germania, suonava Mozart Rimskij-Korsakov con la chitarra e delle bottiglie di latte. Quasi mi vergogno a dirlo, ma lo invitai a suonare ad un party in casa mi; lui fortunatamente rifiutò l'arrogante offerta di una popstar. Poi due anni fa Domenic Miller il mio chitarrista, mi ha presentato questo straordinario suonatore di liuto: è stato lui a ricordarmi l'episodio che io avevo completamente dimenticato."
sarà in uscita per il compleanno di sting 2 ottobre.
Staremo a vedere.
