Funambola

Untitled

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 must be interpreted this time both in the phisical and the intimate way, as a never endig 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.
